A bite guard is an adaptable fitted device worn over teeth to shield them from harm. A well-fitting bite guard may be particularly vital if you wear braces, have fixed anterior bridgework or just want to protect your teeth/smile from potential trauma.
Bite guards can buffer harm to the teeth and/or other settled apparatuses from physical contact. Bite guards can also serve as an obstruction between teeth/supports and the cheeks, between the lips and tongue, consequently constraining the danger of soft tissue damage.
If you partake in high impact sports, bite guards are vital in the prevention of concussions and head trauma. By creating a barrier between the upper and lower jaw, the bite guard serves to lessen the impact experienced when taking a hit or fall.
