Mouthguards

Mouthguards

Mouthguards are dental appliances that are worn over teeth and serve to protect the athlete from concussion and teeth from injury during sports.

There are three types of mouthguards: stock mouth protectors, boil and bite mouth protectors and custom fitted mouth protectors. Dr. Walters only makes custom mouthguards.

Mouthguards can be used by anyone; especially those who play contact sports such as boxing, ice hockey, basketball, and field hockey.

A custom mouthguard works best because they are individually designed; according to your dentist’s guidelines and instructions. Custom-fitted mouth protectors are made from an impression made of your teeth, providing greater comfort and protection as well as easy breathing and speaking.
