Regardless of whether your play a contact sport or you enjoy something more solitary, you can benefit from wearing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cranbrookdentalcare.com\/mouthguards.html\">athletic mouthguard<\/a>. It\u2019s been estimated that between 13 to 39 percent of all dental injuries have some connection to athletics.<\/p>\n<p>You can prevent sports-related dental injuries by wearing an <b>athletic mouthguard<\/b>. That\u2019s because quality <b>mouthgaurds<\/b> protect more than just your teeth. They also protect the tongue, lips, face, and jaw, and can even reduce the severity of concussion.<\/p>\n<p>But not all <b>athletic mouthguards<\/b> are made equal. There are three different types.<\/p>\n<p>Ready-made <b>mouthguards<\/b> are inexpensive and can be easily found in sporting goods stores. But while they provide some amount of protection, they aren\u2019t customized. As a result, they can fit awkwardly and make breathing and speaking difficult.<\/p>\n<p>Mouth-formed <b>mouthguard<\/b> provide more customized results. Also known as boil-and-bite <b>mouthguards<\/b>, this type conforms to your smile after being softened in hot water. But some feel that mouth-formed <b>mouthguards<\/b> have a bad taste. They can also lose their flexibility over time.<\/p>\n<p>The best type of <b>athletic mouthguard<\/b> is one that\u2019s been custom-made just for you. At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cranbrookdentalcare.com\/about-us.html\">Dr. Banda\u2019s<\/a> office in <b>Bloomfield Hills<\/b>, we can take impressions of your teeth and have a <b>mouthguard<\/b> made from them.
