Understanding Mouthguards
Mouthguards are protective devices designed to cover your teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury. They are essential for protecting your smile during physical activity and even while you sleep. Whether you’re playing sports or grinding your teeth at night, a custom-fitted mouthguard can shield your teeth from damage.

How Custom Mouthguards are Made
A custom-fitted mouthguard is made by taking an impression or digital scan of your own unique bite. We then use the replica to create a customized appliance that snuggly fits around your teeth to provide the highest level of comfort and protection.
Depending on what your mouthguard is needed for, we can customize the materials and colors to reflect your needs. For example, matching your jersey or team colors if you need an athletic appliance.
Children or teens whose mouths are still developing will usually need to have their mouthguards replaced each season. However, adult patients can typically wear their mouthguard for several years before it needs to be replaced.
Common Types of Mouthguards:
Mouth guards come in three main types, each offering varying levels of fit and protection.
- Sports Mouthguards: Protect teeth from impact during sports. Custom-fit options offer the best protection and comfort.
- Bruxism/Night Guards: Prevent damage from teeth grinding (bruxism) and can help with TMJ disorder.
- Over-the-Counter: Affordable and readily available, but may be less effective than custom-made options.

If you have any questions about mouth guards, we’ve got answers.
Mouth guards can wear out or get damaged over time. It’s important to replace them every one to two years, or sooner if they show signs of wear or damage.
It’s extremely important that mouthguards be stored in a cool, dry case when not in use. A protective case will reduce the likelihood of a small child or pet accidentally damaging the appliance when it’s not being used. Also, avoid hot temperatures (such as a car) while storing your mouthguard, as it could warp or distort the material.
To clean your mouthguard, use a soft toothbrush, antibacterial hand soap, and room-temperature tap water. You can also soak your mouthguard in a denture cleanser overnight if there is a visible buildup that needs to be removed. Never use abrasive toothpaste, baking soda, or harsh cleaning materials, as they can damage the acrylic and cause bacterial buildup.
Because bruxism mouthguards gradually wear out, it’s important to bring your appliance with you to your dental exam. We will evaluate it to ensure it’s protecting your smile as best as possible and recommend replacing it when needed.
Yes, children can use mouth guards for protection during sports activities. We offer customized mouth guards for children that are designed to fit their smaller mouths.
The price of a sports mouthguard or bruxism splint can vary depending on the type of materials used, the mouthguard design, and if you’re using dental insurance. The cost of a mouthguard is only a fraction of what it would be to repair broken teeth from a sports injury, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in emergency dental treatment. By investing in these protective acrylic appliances, you can reduce the amount of time and money you spend in a dentist’s office because of an athletic injury or worn teeth.
During your consultation, our Gardena dentist will recommend the best type of mouthguard for your needs. At that time, we can provide you with a price quote for the product and any insurance benefits being applied.
