Athletic Mouth Guard
Protective device for the mouth that covers the teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury to the teeth, arches, lips and gums. Mouthguards are most often used to prevent injury in contact sports, as a treatment for bruxism (grinding) or TMD.
“According to the American Dental Association, more than 200,000 oral injuries are prevented annually in this country by sports mouthguards”… For example, in basketball where mouthguards are not worn, 34% of all injuries involve teeth and/or the oral cavity.
