Having mouth guard custom-made<\/b><\/h3>\n

A custom-made mouth guard, also called a mouth guard bit, is more than just a way to protect your teeth. Custom-made mouth guards are not only a protective tool, but they can therefore help you sleep better while reducing the strain on your teeth and jaw muscles. Our dentists custom make a mouth guard to fit the size of your teeth perfectly. These are made of a soft material that molds to both your teeth and gums. Because they are thin, they are also comfortable to have in while you sleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Get mouth guard made at Delft Dental Clinic<\/b><\/h3>\n

A mouth guard protects your teeth from damage. This is especially important for contact sports, but also for teeth grinding or clenching. With a custom-made mouth guard, you are more comfortable and the protection stays in place better than with standard versions.

During an appointment, the dentist assesses your teeth and we take an impression or scan. Based on this, the mouth guard is manufactured to fit your mouth. This reduces the chance of chipped teeth, loose fillings and jaw and muscle pain. Need our care right away?

Bit of teeth grinding and other applications<\/b><\/h3>\n

Thus, a custom-made mouth guard can be used for a variety of reasons. It can be used in place of traditional dental night guards and sleep apnea snoring aids to help prevent snoring and sleep apnea, as well as other oral conditions such as bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching). The teeth grinding bit can also be worn by people recovering from jaw surgery or who have a condition such as TMJ, better known as jaw pain, which makes chewing difficult. The primary purpose of a custom-made mouth guard is to reduce the amount of air that can travel through the mouth and down the throat. It can be made using a variety of materials, including a person's own teeth, acrylic or thermoplastic materials. The most common type of custom-made mouth guard is made of thermoplastic material.<\/span><\/p>\n

How is a custom-made mouth guard made?<\/b><\/h3>\n

There are many factors that can affect the size of a mouth guard. The most important factors are your teeth, jawbone and the shape of your face. After an initial consultation in which the inventory is taken, the first step toward sizing a mouth guard will be taken. By mapping your teeth, we can see what size mouth guard is needed to best support you when you sleep. The mouthguard is then custom-made and will then be fitted around your teeth and touched up if necessary so that it doesn't bother you while you sleep. Be well advised by our dentists so that you know in advance the steps involved and also the costs involved.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
