ProviderSafeguard Your Smile & Protect Your Braces
Mouth guards are an essential orthodontic appliance if you play sports.
A blow to the face while playing sports can lead to painful injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth as they come into contact with your teeth or braces. In some cases, teeth can be damaged or knocked out.
During orthodontic treatment, your teeth are even more vulnerable than they normally are. Throughout your treatment, your teeth and their roots will be shifting and reforming. Until they've reached their final positions and are fully healed, they may be a little loose and more susceptible to being knocked out.
