Mouthguards are flexible dental appliances that can be worn to protect your teeth from clenching, grinding, and sports injuries. In other words, they are used to prevent the lower jaw from colliding into the upper jaw, averting major injuries such as concussions, jaw fractures, neck injuries as well as limiting bruising and laceration of the lips and cheeks. Mouthguards are usually made of plastic materials that fit comfortably over your teeth and gums. There are different types of mouthguards that you can choose from depending on your needs.
