Product Information

The one negative to a double mouthguard is that they are restrictive to breathing due to its larger size in your mouth. Mouth guards should be changed every season or term as mouth guards become less effective over time. As per the American Dental Association (ADA), athletes risk suffering an injury to the mouth 60 times greater than to any other body part.

If a double mouthguard is restricting your only other airway, you will tire quickly and become easier to hit. With so many options to choose from, it’s never been easier to discover the ideal braces for your needs and lifestyle. As braces can be expensive, and not always covered by insurance there is a further reason to look at sporting mouthguards. Your teeth can easily cut the inside of your cheeks and lips if you have been struck, so the mouthguard acts as a cushion between them both.

Normal dental mouthguards do not work when going through orthodontic treatment, as it doesn’t allow for movement of teeth as they start to straighten.

The use of a mouth guard can also prevent damage to the brackets from a blow to the face as it provides a barrier between the braces and cheek or lips.
