A: A sports mouthguard is important for children and adults who participate in contact sports, such as wrestling, hockey, lacrosse, football and basketball. Sometimes, mouthguards are even worn in non-contact sports, such as gymnastics or skateboarding.
Sports mouthguards help to prevent injuries to the teeth, tongue, gums and cheek tissues. There is even some evidence that they help reduce the severity of concussions and/or prevent other injuries.
All King Orthodontics offices offer free sports mouthguards for our braces patients during treatment. We also offer custom-fitted, professional-style sports mouthguards for our patients after their orthodontic care is complete.
Keep smiling, and see you soon...for a mouthguard :-)
