Athletic Mouthguards/Sportsguards – Evanston, IL

What are Mouthguards/Sportsguards?

A mouthguard is a protective oral device designed to be worn over the top row of teeth. Also referred to as a sportsguard, they work to prevent serious damage should you experience any type of physical, blunt force. Whether it is a tackle, spiked volleyball, fly ball, or sudden fall that causes injury, a customized mouthguard will keep your teeth and gums better protected.

At Winning Smile Dental Group, we believe in providing exceptional products, which is why we use the best, high-quality materials to create your one-of-a-kind oral device. After capturing impressions of you or your child’s teeth, we will ensure the mouthguard fits accordingly, is comfortable to wear, and provides the maximum amount of protection.

Why Kids and Adults Need This Type of Oral Appliance

It’s no secret that sports-related injuries are a common occurrence. While you may spend lots of money on proper protection for your head, knees, elbows, and shoulders, it’s essential that you exhibit the same level of care when it comes to safeguarding your mouth. This type of device isn’t only beneficial while engaging in a contact sport. They are also extremely helpful if you or your child enjoy running, biking, or skateboarding!

No matter the sport, whether it is designed to be played as a team or solo, all athletes can benefit from seeing a dentist in Evanston to receive a customized mouthguard.

Benefits of a Custom Mouthguard versus a “One-Size-Fits-All” Solution

Although it is possible to go to your local drug store and buy a one-size-fits-all mouthguard, you will find it to be less effective once you’re on the field. Why? Because many of these oral devices do not provide the same great level of coverage as a customized one by our team. If you want to ensure that your teeth and gums have the maximum protection during play, many benefits come with a custom-made mouthguard, including:

• Impressions taken of your smile will determine the look and feel of your mouthguard
• They are more comfortable to wear, making it more likely for you to keep it in your mouth throughout the game
• The materials used to create these custom-made mouthguards are durable and last longer, which will help you to save money on having to buy multiple devices year-round
• You’ll also save money by avoiding emergency dental visits
• You’ll have greater peace of mind knowing you or your child’s smile is better protected with a high-quality oral device
