Keep Your Teeth Intact With a Mouthguard

At Manning Family Dentistry, we offer two main types of custom mouthguards to meet your specific needs: athletic mouthguards to protect your teeth during sports and physical activities and teeth Grinding (bruxism) mouthguards to prevent damage from nighttime teeth grinding and clenching.

Our custom mouthguards offer several advantages over store-bought options:

  • Better Fit – They are precisely molded to your teeth for maximum comfort.
  • Enhanced Protection – They provide superior coverage and shock absorption.
  • Improved Breathing – Our appliances allow for easy airflow during wear.
  • Clear Speech – These mouthguards are thin enough to speak clearly while wearing.

To create your custom mouthguard, we will use an iTero digital scanner. This advanced technology allows us to take precise, 3D images of your teeth without the need for a messy, uncomfortable mold. The scanning process is quick, comfortable, and provides highly precise results.

After scanning, we send the digital impressions to a specialized dental lab where your professional mouthguard will be crafted. This ensures the highest quality and best fit possible. Investing in a high-quality mouthguard can save you from potentially costly dental repairs in the future. It’s an important step in protecting your oral health and overall well-being.

Common Questions About Mouthguards
Why are mouthguards important?

The most common reason to wear a mouthguard is to protect your teeth and gums while playing sports. Whether you’re participating in a contact sport or not, a well-made mouthguard is your best defense against blows to the mouth, teeth, gums, and jaw. Mouthguards can also help eliminate symptoms of teeth grinding, TMJ disorders, and even obstructive sleep apnea.

How are mouthguards made?

To make your custom mouthguard, we will first take impressions of your mouth (you won’t have to deal with any goop in your mouth). We’ll then use this information to have our professional lab parter custom craft your mouthguard. You’ll come back into the office when it’s ready, and we’ll make sure that it fits comfortably and provides the protection it should.

Which mouthguards work best?

The best mouthguard is one that is custom-made to fit your or your child’s mouth specifically. It will fit better, provide more protection, and last longer than one bought off the shelf in a store. Besides athletic mouthguards, we also provide mouthguards to eliminate teeth grinding, treat TMJ pain, and reduce sleep apnea symptoms.
