Why Wear a Mouth Guard?
A mouth guard is an essential protective device designed to shield your teeth, gums, and jaw from impact or damage. They are commonly used for:
✅ Sports Protection – Required in many sports, mouth guards help prevent chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth.
✅ Bruxism (Teeth Grinding & Clenching) – Night guards protect teeth from wear and jaw pain caused by grinding.
✅ TMJ Disorder Relief – Helps reduce jaw strain and discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues.
✅ Orthodontic Protection – Custom mouth guards are essential for athletes wearing braces to prevent injury.
Types of Mouth Guards
1. Store-Bought Mouth Guards (Pre-Formed & Boil-and-Bite)
- Pre-Made Mouth Guards – Readily available but often uncomfortable and poorly fitted.
- Boil-and-Bite Mouth Guards – Slightly better fit but still lack optimal comfort and full protection.
💡 Downside: These options may interfere with breathing, talking, or even staying in place during activity.
2. Custom-Fitted Mouth Guards (Best Option!)
At Manhattan Dental Spa, we create high-quality, custom-fitted mouth guards using a precise dental impression of your teeth.

Caring for Your Mouth Guard
To keep your mouth guard clean and effective:
🦷 Rinse after each use – Wash with cool water to remove bacteria and debris.
🦷 Use a gentle toothbrush & soap – Avoid harsh chemicals that could break down the material.
🦷 Store in a ventilated case – Keep it dry and free from bacteria growth.
🦷 Bring it to your dental checkups – We’ll ensure it still fits properly and offers full protection.
