The use of Mouth-guards in south east London
01 / 06 / 2011
Your mouth is delicate and intricate, and takes a lot of looking after on an everyday basis, especially if you love your sports in south east London. Mouth-guards are designed to protect your mouth from injury, particularly in contact sports, looking after your teeth, gums and tongue from initial injury, but can also limit the shock impact to other areas of the jaw, head and neck. Modern mouth-guards, if looked after, can help you enjoy recreational activities and look after the health of your mouth and body; they can also help to straighten and bleach your teeth. Modern sports, involve a lot of physical contact, hence, mouth-guards have evolved to meet the needs of the modern athlete. Sure you can buy one off the shelf, but the best are custom made with soft gel liners, breathing slots and strong rubber frames designed for high impact, comfortable wearing and easy breathing. Mouth-guards are also custom made for teeth bleaching procedures that lock in the bleaching agent to whiten your teeth overnight, and for straightening your teeth, such as Invisalign, that are clear, flexible and removable. In some cases, fixed brace wearers can also have a mouth-guard made up to cover both the brace and the teeth, for use in sporting activities.
