CUSTOM MADE MOUTHGUARDS
Playing impact sports always comes with the risk of injuries. Unfortunately there are hundreds of dental related ACC claims every year, yet some of these could easily be prevented with the use of a custom made mouthguard.
Recent studies in New Zealand show that high impact custom-made sports mouthguards reduce the chances of injury to your mouth by up to 90 per cent, compared to the 40 per cent success rate of over-the-counter products. They also showed that mouthguards reduce concussion risk as they assist in absorbing impact, stabilize the head and neck and limit the movement in the jaw.
Soft Tissue Protection:
Mouthguards act as a barrier between the teeth and the lips, cheeks, and tongue, helping to prevent cuts, bruises, and other soft tissue injuries.
Shock absorption
Because they are made of a soft, but strong and pliable rubber like material, mouthguards are able to absorb some of the energy from an impact. This will reduce the force that is transmitted to the teeth, jaw and surrounding tissues, preventing fractures and dislocations.
Jaw Joint Protection
Mouthguards also help protect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) by absorbing some of the forces exerted during impact.
