safety first
Protecting your smile while playing sports is essential when you have braces. Wearing a mouth guard is critical in preventing or reducing injuries to your teeth and gums during organized and recreational sports. Mouth guards offer protection by absorbing high-impact energy from potentially traumatic blows.
mouth guards designed for braces
If you are currently in braces it is very important to wear a mouth guard specifically designed for braces. Otherwise you run the risk of damaging or pulling off your braces. DO NOT USE BOIL & BITE MOUTH GUARDS.

mouth guards are designed to protect your teeth and jaws
There is less room for flexibility inside the mouth, and a blow towards the teeth or gums may fracture the jawbone. Mouth guards acts like a crash helmet that protects the jawbone from an unexpected fracture.
Mouth guards also protect the insides of your lips and cheeks from large lacerations during an impact. They also protect against chipped or broken teeth, root and bone damage, and tooth loss.
