A mouthguard is made to protect teeth and the smile. It is a removable dental appliance that acts as a cushion for teeth against sudden force/blow and is commonly used in various sports. Mouthguards protect teeth from cracking or breaking in high-contact sports. A mouthguard is not only used in contact sports, but dentists and doctors also prescribe it as a treatment for jaw pain and sleep apnea.

Night Guards or TMJ Guards
Teeth grinding during sleep or TMJ disorder often causes jaw pain in the morning, dull yet frequent headaches, and visibly worn tooth enamel. We provide night guards or custom occlusal splints to keep the teeth slightly separated and the jaw in a more relaxed position. Thus, it stops headaches and jaw pain and prevents the teeth from grinding and wearing down.
Sleep Apnea and Anti Snoring
A custom-fitted dental appliance can make a significant difference for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea. It can be worn comfortably overnight and keep the airway open by repositioning the lower jaw.
Sports Mouth Guards
At Paradise Ridge Family Dentistry, we design custom sports mouth guards for athletes to prevent their teeth from getting damaged. A single impactful collision, fall, or blow to the face during sports can chip, fracture, or knock out a tooth entirely.
We fabricate sports mouth guards so it fits your exact bite, feels comfortable, and provides excellent shock absorption against damage. They are recommended for any contact or collision sport, including football, basketball, hockey, boxing, etc.
Caring for Your Mouth Guard
After wearing your guard, run it under cold water. You can also use a soft toothbrush and gentle soap to clean it. Avoid hot water and toothpaste, as heat can distort the shape of the material, and toothpaste may scratch its surface.
Always keep it dry when not in use, and you can bring it to your regular dental check-up appointments so we can check it for wear. With proper care, a custom mouth guard can last between one and five years if you take care of it.
Frequently Asked Questions
The wear time depends on what purpose you are using it. Players can wear it for 1 to 4 hours during sports, and for bruxism/TMJ issues, wearing it for 6 to 8 hrs every night is essential.
Sore jaw, sensitive or cracked teeth, enamel wear, or clenching teeth when stressed are some common signs that you need a mouthguard.
Store-bought mouthguards usually cost between $20 and $100, but custom-fit and professional guards range from $300 to $1000.
