Active Lifestyles and Braces: How Iconic Orthodontics Can Help
At Iconic Orthodontics, led by Brandon Morgan DDS, we believe that braces shouldn’t hinder your active lifestyle. Many patients who are undergoing orthodontic treatment regularly participate in school and recreational sports. While options like Invisalign can be worn safely during physical activities, metal braces require extra protection. This is where orthodontic mouthguards come into play.
What Are Orthodontic Mouthguards?
Orthodontic mouthguards are designed to protect your braces and teeth during physical activity. Made from high-strength silicone, these mouthguards are custom-fitted to your mouth’s unique shape, taking into account your brackets and wires for a comfortable fit. They feature rubber flanges that fit under your lips, ensuring the mouthguard stays in place without being too tight against your gums or catching on your brackets.
Key Considerations for Orthodontic Mouthguards
Here are a few things to keep in mind when considering orthodontic mouthguards for sports:
Insurance and Team Requirements
Consult with your child’s coach to understand the specifics of team and league insurance requirements. Some sports and teams mandate the use of double mouthguards, which protect both the upper and lower teeth.
Custom Fitting
When you visit Iconic Orthodontics for your custom mouthguard fitting, we will ensure it fits properly to maximize comfort and protection. A well-fitted mouthguard is crucial for effective protection.
Adjustments Over Time
As your teeth shift during treatment, your mouthguard will need adjustments. At Iconic Orthodontics, we can easily modify your orthodontic mouthguard to accommodate these changes, ensuring continuous protection and comfort.
Modern Mouthguards for Active Patients
Modern orthodontic mouthguards are designed to fit comfortably over braces, allowing athletes to continue participating in their favorite sports without fear of damaging their braces or disrupting their treatment. Our team at Iconic Orthodontics is dedicated to providing solutions that keep you active and your braces safe.
