SPORTS DENTISTRY AT BRISBANE SMILE BOUTIQUE

If you play a contact sport, a blow to the head while playing hockey or football can knock out or fracture teeth, and a custom professional mouth guard that absorbs and distributes the forces of any impact is best way of preventing or minimising damage to your jaws, and teeth.

The cost of a custom mouth guard is far outweighed by the cost to repair broken or knocked out teeth, and the impact of trauma.

BENEFITS OF professional MOUTH GUARDS

A professional mouth guard at Brisbane Smile Boutique is custom fit with 3D scans to comfortably fit your teeth for the ultimate protection, and allows you to breathe and talk normally. A custom mouth guard prevents or minimises sports dental injuries, with the perfect mouth guard being durable and comfortable.

professional MOUTH GUARDS while wearing BRACES

If you or your child has braces or another fixed dental appliance, you still need to wear mouth guards while playing sports. The stock mouth guards you can buy at sporting good stores do not offer the protection you need when you are getting slammed to the ground on the football field. Our dentist for athletes will be able to create a customised mouth guard that protects your lower teeth if needed also.

Braces are designed to move your teeth into their correct alignment, and you should wear a custom fit mouth guard, because a one size fits all mouth guard could damage the brackets and undo any progress made with orthodontic treatment. Your lips, cheeks, gums and tongue are protects from your sharp brackets and wires, and impacts the jaw and joints are cushioned from the force of any impact.

Our sports dentist at Brisbane Smile Boutique 3D scans your teeth and supportive tissues of the mouth, to provide a computer generated protective appliance to prevent dental injuries from interfering with an athlete’s season.
