Mouthguards are recommended for any sport where there is a risk of contact, collision, falls, or impact from a ball, stick, bat, or another player. Common examples include boxing, MMA, rugby, hockey, basketball, football, cricket, martial arts, wrestling, lacrosse, skateboarding, cycling, and horse riding.
The type of mouthguard depends on the level of impact involved in the sport. A dentist can recommend the most appropriate mouthguard based on the athlete's needs.
Ready-to-use mouthguards are pre-made and available at sports stores. They are inexpensive but often bulky, less comfortable, and may not fit properly.
Custom mouthguards are made by a dentist using an impression or digital scan of the teeth. They fit precisely and comfortably. Provide better shock absorption and protection. They are less likely to interfere with athletic performance.
A sports mouthguard acts as a protective cushion between the upper and lower teeth. When an impact occurs, it helps absorb and distribute the force over a larger area rather than allowing it to concentrate on a few teeth or the jaw.
