How do I choose a mouthguard?
Any mouthguard works better than no mouthguard! Choose one that is comfortable to wear. If a mouthguard feels bulky or interferes with speech, it will be left in the locker room. You can buy mouthguards in sports stores that are pre-formed or “boil-to-fit”. Different types and brands vary in terms of comfort, protection and cost. Alternatively, Dr. Elliott or Dr. Molina can make customized mouth guards. They cost a bit more, but are more comfortable and more effective in preventing injuries. Dr. Elliott or Dr. Molina can advise you on what type of mouthguard is best for you.
