CUSTOM MADE MOUTH GUARDS
Besides protecting your teeth, mouth guards help prevent the tongue, lips and cheeks from being gashed by the sharp edges of your top (maxillary) teeth.
Mouth guards help protect athletes from concussions and jaw fractures.
Mouth guards do not allow much movement in the jaw joint so it will actually absorb the energy from a traumatic blow to the chin so not as much force is radiated to the base of the skull.
Mouth guards can also help reduce the effecs of TMJ, Bruxism, snoring & sleep apnea. Ask Dr. Dieksa or Dr. Darling which type of custom mouth guard is best for you.
