Oral health is paramount, especially for those participating in physical activities with a risk of mouth injury. This can include sports like football, hockey, or martial arts, where a sudden impact can lead to a chipped tooth or worse. A simple and effective solution to this problem is the use of mouthguards.
The Different Types Available
There are various types of mouthguards available in the market. One common type is the over-the-counter (OTC) boil and bite mouthguards. As the name suggests, these mouthguards are boiled in hot water and then bitten into to create a mould of your teeth. They offer a generic fit and are readily available at most sporting goods stores.
However, they may not provide the same level of comfort and protection as a custom appliance.
