Soft Mouthguard Appliance
What is a Soft Mouthguard?
A soft mouthguard is a flexible, custom-made dental appliance designed to fit comfortably over your teeth. It provides protection against dental injuries and helps manage various oral conditions. Unlike hard or dual-layered mouthguards, soft mouthguards are particularly suited for less severe cases of teeth grinding and can be used during sports and physical activities.
Why Might You Need a Soft Mouthguard?
Soft mouthguards are recommended for several reasons, including:
- Mild Teeth Grinding: For those who grind their teeth lightly, a soft mouthguard can cushion the teeth and prevent damage.
- Sports Protection: Individuals engaging in physical activities benefit from wearing a soft mouthguard to protect their teeth and gums from impact and injury.
- Prevention of Dental Trauma: Soft mouthguards act as a barrier, reducing the risk of chipped or broken teeth during sports or accidents.
- Night-time Protection: If you clench your teeth at night, a soft mouthguard can provide comfort and prevent tooth wear.
Benefits of Using a Soft Mouthguard
- Comfort: Made from flexible materials, soft mouthguards are comfortable to wear and adapt to the shape of your teeth.
- Protection: Provides a cushioning effect, protecting teeth from grinding, clenching, and impact during sports.
- Easy to Use: Simple to insert and remove, making it convenient for daily use.
- Custom Fit: Tailored to your dental structure, ensuring optimal protection and comfort.
