At MI Roots Family Dental, we can create custom-designed mouth guards and night guards to protect your smile in a wide variety of situations. These are made of flexible plastic and molded to fit the shape of your teeth. Dr. Joseph Szymczak will take an impression of your teeth, which will then be sent to a lab to make a custom-fit guard. In most cases, you can choose from a variety of colors and styles. If properly cared for, a mouth guard or night guard can last for years.
Dr. Szymczak may recommend mouth guards to protect the jaw and teeth during physical activity and sports such as boxing, football, basketball or other activities where your mouth may be hit or otherwise injured. The mouth guards we provide also protect your tongue, lips and cheek lining from injury. Dr. Szymczak will also recommend night guards for patients who clench or grind their teeth at night as a way to protect their teeth and bite. Without the guard, your teeth can wear down, look unattractive and lose their function.
