What Is a Mouthguard?

According to the Australian Dental Association NSW, sports-related injuries account for nearly 40% of dental injuries, yet only 36% of Australians wear a mouthguard when playing contact sport. With such high statistics, it’s essential that you protect your oral health with a mouthguard. You can wear it during practices or matches and will be able to speak or drink water while it’s in.

You’ve probably seen a retainer before. A mouthguard looks similar to it. It’s a fitted shield that goes snugly over your teeth to protect them from damage. Cricket, football and rugby are just a few of the most common sports that require participants to wear mouthguards.

The Damage of an Impact

The Damage of an Impact

When an impact to the face occurs during sport, the force travels through your jaw, teeth and skull. If the lower part of the jaw is hit, your upper and lower jaws can meet with force, which can damage all teeth.

You won’t have to worry about the most common mouth-related injuries such as broken or chipped teeth, cuts to the tongue and cheeks or a jaw fracture when you’re wearing a mouthguard. It acts as a buffer to absorb the shock of the impact.

Why a Custom Fit Matters

A professionally-made sports mouthguard holds its position far better than an over-the-counter guard. Not only is it less likely to fall out if you’re pushed or bumped, but it’s also more comfortable to talk and hydrate with.

Custom sports guards are made differently than stock mouthpieces that you can buy over the counter. Designed from a model of your own mouth, the mouthpiece hugs every curve of your smile. It won’t feel loose or fall out of place easily, so that you can focus on what’s in front of you: the game. As such, they offer better protection when it comes to tooth, mouth and jaw damage.

The cushion that it offers helps to buffer any forces to your mouth, teeth and jaw. Limiting shock from your jaw to your head can in turn, potentially reduce the chance of concussion.
