Mouthguards are an essential piece of equipment for any athlete playing a contact sport. There are three main types of mouthguards; custom, boil and bite, and stock. Although boil and bite and stock mouthguard offer some protection, they do not fit each individuals’ mouth well and often make it difficult to breath and talk. Consequently, they do not provide the same level of protection as a custom mouthguard. Oleynik Dental creates custom-made mouthguards that provide great protection, while still being comfortable to the athlete.
Mouthguard Care
In order to prolong the life of your mouthguard, it is important to clean it regularly with a toothbrush. In addition, it is important to store your mouthguard in a clean, dry environment. Keep your mouthguard away from pets and store it in the protective case. Additionally, refrain from leaving your mouthguard in a hot environment or in direct contact with the sun. This can misshape the mouthguard and cause it to not fit properly.
