Common Questions About Mouthguards
How long will my custom mouthguard last?
Your custom mouthguard's lifespan depends largely on how well you care for it and how frequently you use it. With proper maintenance, including gentle cleaning after each use and storage in its protective case, your guard can last several years. Regular checkups during your dental visits allow us to monitor its condition and recommend replacement when needed. Athletes who use their guards frequently or patients who grind heavily might need replacement sooner than those who use them occasionally.
What's the difference between a custom mouthguard and one from the store?
Custom mouthguards are precisely crafted to fit your unique dental structure. Store-bought guards use a one-size-fits-most approach that often results in bulky, uncomfortable protection. Your custom guard will stay securely in place during use, whether you're playing sports or sleeping, unlike store-bought options that can slip or fall out. Professional-grade materials used in custom guards offer superior durability and protection.
How should I clean and maintain my mouthguard?
Your mouthguard should be rinsed with cool water before and after each use, followed by gentle cleaning with mild soap and a soft toothbrush. Always store your guard in its ventilated case when not in use, keeping it away from high temperatures that could affect its shape. Regular cleaning prevents bacteria buildup and helps maintain the guard's clarity and fresh smell over time. Avoid using hot water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or alter the precise fit. Bring your guard to each dental checkup so we can ensure it's still providing optimal protection and make any necessary adjustments.
