Staying Active This Summer? Protect Your Smile With A Mouthguard!

We all long for the warm summer weather! All that sun and clear skies means you can finally enjoy the great outdoors and play the games you love. However, unforeseen injuries can occur during athletic activities, making it important to protect your smile using a mouthguard. At Braces Plus, we ensure that you keep your smile safe by protecting your  jaw and teeth with our custom mouthguards. As you prepare to head out this season, stay safe by wearing your mouthguard to protect your smile!

What Is A Mouthguard?

A mouthguard is a shock absorber that helps protect your teeth and gums from sports-related injuries. This protective appliance is professionally fabricated and custom-made for your smile to fit comfortably over your teeth. It’s important to protect your smile while playing sports, whether you’re currently undergoing treatment or not!

Why Is A Mouthguard Important? 

Mouthguards are integral in preventing sports-related injuries. In Canada, an estimated 35% of injuries are accredited to sports. A single blow to the mouth can cause extreme dental damage that is costly to treat. Using a mouthguard can help minimize facial injuries, broken teeth, chipped teeth, jaw fractures, and other oral injuries. 

What Happens At A Mouthguard Consultation?

At Braces Plus, we professionally customize mouthguards for your unique smile! To make sure your mouthguard is comfortable, our team will take an impression of your smile and customize a mouthguard that fits you like a glove with the help of our digital laboratory. Once completed, you can pick it up at our clinic in Airdrie, Alberta at your own convenience.
