Customized Mouthguards in Alpharetta, GA

We look forward to providing you with your new customized mouthguard. Mouthguards are cost-effective and allow you to prevent tooth damage and tooth loss. Here are some common questions we get regarding customized mouthguards:

What sports require a mouthguard?

Several sports require a mouthguard as a part of the participant’s mandatory uniform. Sports like football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, skateboarding, gymnastics, and wrestling typically require a mouthguard. If you engage in any activity that might result in an injury to the mouth, you should consider a customized mouthguard.

How will a mouthguard help my sleep apnea?

If you suffer from mild to moderate sleep apnea, oral appliance therapy can be very beneficial. Through the use of a customized nightguard, or a mouthguard you wear at night, your jaw will be held in a healthy resting position that prevents the soft tissues of your mouth and throat from collapsing on each other. Customized nightguards help you maintain an open airway while you sleep, preventing snoring.

Can a mouthguard help me stop grinding my teeth?

If you grind your teeth, we often recommend the use of a nightguard. This is because a nightguard will act as a shield for your teeth while you sleep. Even if you attempt to grind your teeth while using the nightguard, you will not cause tooth damage because of this extra layer of protection.
