How Athletic Mouthguards Help To Protect Athletes

Mouthguards are designed to absorb and distribute the forces of impact received while participating in athletic activities.

  • Laceration: Properly fitting mouthguards help to protect the soft tissue of the lip, cheeks, gums and tongue by covering the sharp surfaces of the teeth.

  • TMJ (Jaw Joint) Trauma: Properly fitting mouthguards reduce the potential for jaw joint fracture and displacement by cushioning against the impact.

  • Jaw Fracture: Properly fitting mouthguards reduce the force upon impact, helping to protect the jaw from fracture.
