Do you ever find yourself experiencing inexplicable discomfort in your teeth, gums, or jaw? Not the typical toothache from neglect, but rather a persistent, dull ache that seems to have no clear cause. If you can relate to this discomfort, you might discover substantial relief through the use of a Bite Guard.
Bite Guards are versatile dental appliances designed to safeguard your teeth in various scenarios. Dentists recommend Bite Guards for patients facing an array of circumstances, making them suitable for both children and adults alike. It’s important to note that Bite Guards come in different qualities, ensuring that there’s a suitable option to address your specific needs and provide the comfort and protection your dental health deserves.
While you may come across readily available mouth guards at your local grocery store, opting for the do-it-yourself approach might not yield the desired results when it comes to your Bite Guard. If you genuinely want your Bite Guard to fulfill its intended purpose effectively, we strongly recommend investing in a custom-fitted mouth guard tailored to your unique dental structure.
A custom-fitted mouth guard involves a meticulous process, starting with an impression taken by your skilled dentist. This impression is then sent to a specialized laboratory, where experts craft a Bite Guard precisely molded to your teeth. The key here is precision. A snug and well-fitted Bite Guard ensures it performs optimally, offering the protection and comfort you seek. In contrast, a loosely fitting or improperly fitted Bite Guard can prove immensely frustrating, potentially compromising its ability to safeguard your dental health effectively. Choosing the custom-fitted route guarantees that your Bite Guard stays securely in place, safeguarding your teeth, gums, and jaw against discomfort, injury, and stress, allowing you to enjoy peace of mind throughout the day.
Here are the two main reasons that Dr. Miles prescribes Bite Guards to our patients:
Protect your tongue, teeth, and cheeks from injury during high impact activities. This type of mouth guard would be a sports mouth guard which you can read more about here.
Protect your teeth from nighttime clenching and grinding. This type of Bite Guard would be more of a traditional Bite Guard.
Taking care of a Bite Guard does not require a whole lot of work. If you rinse it with water, a soft toothbrush, and toothpaste before putting it in and after taking it out, you will be most of the way there. On occasion, you will also want to rinse it with soap and warm water, but if you keep up on brushing it daily, this will only need to be done about once per month, or possibly even less.
When your bite guard is not in your mouth, it is best to store it in a well-ventilated container that will not be exposed to drastic temperature fluctuations as that may cause the guard to lose its shape.
