services - mouth-guard
A mouth guard is a protective device for the mouth that covers the teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury to the teeth, arches, lips and gums. Mouth guards should be used by anyone - both children and adults - who play contact sports such as football, boxing, soccer, ice hockey, basket ball and field hockey.
When do we need a mouth-guard
Bite Splint/Night Guard
60% of the population grind their teeth at nighttime, a habit called bruxism.
Overtime this can be very destructive to the teeth and can also cause headaches, jaw ache and neck pain.
The treatment for grinding involves constructing a specialized guard that protects your teeth from wearing over each other at night. Night Guards are made in a specialized laboratory to ensure precise fit and strength.
Sports Mouth guards
Affordable Dentists being a main ACC provider in Auckland sees a lot of sporting injury’s and these could have often been prevented by wearing properly fitted sports mouth guards.
The old boil in water guards are unfortunately inadequate for proper protection of your teeth and jaws.
A custom made sports mouth guard will cost a lot more however it is a small price to pay should an injury occur.
Molds are taken of your teeth and then the mouth guard is made within a laboratory customized to fit your teeth.
