| Dental
injuries are the most common type of orofacial injury sustained
during participation in sports, the majority of these injuries are
preventable. |
| More
than 5 million teeth are knocked out each year during sports activities.
. |
| The
cost of a fractured tooth is many times greater than the cost of
a dentist diagnosed and designed professionally made mouth guard.
|
| Every
athlete involved in contact sport has about 10% chance per season
of an orofacial injury or a 35-56% chance during an athletic career.
|
| A
properly fitted mouth guard reduces the chance of sustaining a concussion
from a blow to the jaw. |
| A
specially fabricated mouth guard can be made for your teeth. This
guard fits over the upper or lower teeth to prevent broken or chipped
teeth due to tooth-to-tooth contact. It is appropriate for sports
where incidental contact with solid objects and other participants
is common. |
| The
smaller size and secure fit of a custom lab created mouth guard
provides these advantages: |
Clearer
speech - when communication with teammates is important
More comfortable fit - so it's less distracting
Less restricted breathing - for improved performance
