Choose Quality mouth Guards over cheap ones

December 18th, 2013|
Dr Himakshu Vyas

If you are a sports enthusiast then you are quite aware of the term, “mouth guards.”

Most of the sports lovers want to save their money and buy cheap over-the-counter mouth guards Townsville as compared to have the one created for them by the professionals.

In short, mouth guards are a must have product in various sports, especially when you play as an athlete. At many top levels, athletes are not allowed to compete unless they are wearing them.

This is of course because of the risk of serious accident/injury that is posed by not using the proper protection.

It is quite obvious to find a number of issues with the generic products sold in stores though. Frankly speaking, these products are thick and wide and are not available in varied different sizes. You can easily spot a universal mouth guard that fits the shape of everybody’s teeth. However, cheap products can sound to be very ineffective. On the contrary, custom made sports mouth guard are professionally designed by an experienced dentist and are built so as to match the exact shape of your mouth and teeth. The cheap guards generally do not hold well during a sports game, and quite often fall when the pace picks up.

Another major and commonly seen disadvantage of using these products is that an athlete with over-the-counter or moldable guard usually has to consciously make an effort to keep them in place. As a sports person you might get an immense pressure to perform your turn with the use of inconvenient guard. There are many who even find it very hard to breathe properly when they are using such products. The truth is that the feel of cheap mouth guards inside your mouth is also undesirable. You might face many other problems due to the usage of the products made with cheaper materials.

If using mouth guards in Townsville that don’t fit properly in your mouth, there are chances of putting yourself at risk of sustaining a bad injury. When a good dentist initiates to create a custom-fitted sports guards, they generally take an impression of your teeth and mouth, and prepare the product to fit into your mouth adequately and to mold around your teeth tightly. These people also carefully trim and smooth the products on the edges so that the products provided by them can be comfortable to wear and don’t cause any damage to the soft tissues inside your mouth.
