Mouthguards are essential equipment for athletes of all ages who participate in sporting events and activities. The use of a mouthguard can protect the teeth, lips cheeks and tongue from injuries sustained during sports activities. They can even prevent more serious injuries such as incidents of unconsciousness, jaw fractures and neck injuries.
Banff Dental Care offers both sport protective (regular mouthguards) and sport enhancement, custom fitted appliances.
Our sport enhancement range of mouthguards are from Under Armourguard. The three types of Under Armour sports appliances available are:
- Under Armour Performance Mouthpiece: For non-contact sports. Designed for optimal fit and comfort.
- Under Armour Performance Alloy Mouthpiece: For non-contact sports. Ultra-strong and durable for the most demanding athlete.
- Under Armour Performance Mouthguard: For contact sports. Superior protection and comfort.
The Under Armour mouthguard range is designed to pull your bottom jaw forward and prevent clenching of your teeth, which will increase oxygen flow and relieve pressure on your jaw joints. Key features of the sports appliance include:
- Improve your endurance
- Boost strength
- Reduce your game stress,
- Speed up your reflexes
- Protect your teeth
Whether you are interested in a sport protective or sport enhancement appliance, we will begin with an initial consultation to discuss with you which sports appliance is the most appropriate to your needs. We will then need to take impressions of your bite so that we can develop a customized mouthguard. This mould and your dental information will then be shipped to the laboratory to custom-manufacture a mouthguard specifically for you. When completed, your new mouthpiece will be sent back to our practice where you will have your final fitting to ensure proper fit and comfort.
