Teeth Guards

One thing you should know before buying an athletic or dental mouth guard is that not all teeth guards are equal in quality. Some are far superior to others, and a guard that works great for one person may not be best for you. You should first evaluate your need for a mouth guard. If you are seeking an athletic guard for tooth protection you can buy them from sporting goods stores, online or even from your dentist. For a bruxism night guard you'll need to shop at a pharmacy, supermarket or see your dentist.

In both cases there are pre-made guards that come in sizes such as small, medium and large. These guards are made for both kids and adults and are very basic. They may not fit properly because in most cases it is necessary to mold the guard to your teeth. If you try a cheap pre-made guard and it doesn't fit correctly, the next step up is the boil and bite guard. These guards are made for sports and for teeth grinding, just check the packaging to see the intended use. In either case the guard is dropped into boiling water then molded to your mouth similar to the way a dentist makes an impression.

Boil and bite guards range from very affordable to moderate in price. They are ideal for some people but not for others. If you've tried a boil and bite guard and found it doesn't fit correctly, is uncomfortable, or has holes in it from where you've bitten down too hard, the next option is to see your dentist. Whether you are seeking protection for athletics or help with nighttime teeth grinding your dentist can make a customized guard just for you.

Teeth guards made by your dentist are going to be more expensive than the other kinds, but also of higher quality. They can be customized not only to your mouth but your particular dental problem or need. Many adolescents who play sports have their guards replaced at each checkup because their mouths grow larger as they age. If you are an adult who is suffering from TMJ dysfunction due to teeth grinding, a dental guard is the best way to go as most bite and boil tooth guard packages expressly state they are not to be used to treat TMJ disorder.
