Should I wear a mouthgaurd when I play sports with braces on?
If you play sports, it’s important that you consult us for any special precautions. A mouthgaurd is advised when playing any contact sports; with or without braces. If you are involved in an accident involving the face, check your mouth and appliances immediately. If teeth are loosened or the appliances are damaged, phone our office for an appointment. In the meantime, treat your discomfort as you would treat any general soreness.
