Mouth Guard Braces

If you wear braces and need a mouth guard, there are things you should know regarding mouth guard braces compatibility. People with orthodontic braces on their teeth need different mouth guards than those who do not wear braces. The last thing you should do is go out and purchase a boil and bite mouth guard from the drugstore or one that is sized to fit the mouth already. You will first need to evaluate your reasons for needing a mouth guard before you decide whether or not the dentist or the store is the right way to go. Fitting mouth guards for individuals with braces can be tricky but it is possible.


If you need a mouth guard for an athlete who wears braces, check out the offerings from the Shock Doctor company. You can buy products from this company online and you will see they offer a wide variety of mouth guards for children and adults. One product to consider for your young athlete with braces is the Shock Doctor Strapless Braces Mouth Guard for youth sizes. There are even mouth guards from this company with straps for greater stability and also adult sized braces mouth guards both with straps and without.

You might also want to see your dentist, especially if your mouth guard is for something other than sports. If you have braces and suffer from bruxism, which is grinding of the teeth, your dentist may recommend a guard worn at night or even during the day. Many people grind their teeth during sleep and are unaware they are even doing it, that is until TMJ disorder symptoms like pain and discomfort manifest. Store bought mouth guards are usually not appropriate for individuals with temporomandibular problems.

One thing is certain, mouth guard braces compatibility is an issue that shouldn't be a problem if you make sure to choose a product either in stores, online or from your dentist that is especially made for people who wear braces. Protecting your mouth, especially during impact sports, is even more important for those who wear braces because the orthodontics could become damaged or cause further injury to the individual if an unprotected impact to the mouth occurs. Don't try wearing a regular mouth guard with braces, not only could this be harmful it is unlikely to be effective.
