A custom athletic mouthguard offers many advantages over standard store-bought versions. It fits snugly around your teeth, ensuring optimal protection and comfort while playing. Since it's made specifically for you based on an impression of your teeth taken by a dentist – unlike store-bought varieties – the mouth guard will fit more securely which minimizes the risk of injury while playing.
Despite its benefits for sports players, research has also found that wearing a custom-fitted athletic mouthguard may also help reduce symptoms associated with TMJ/TMD since it acts as a shock absorber between your upper and lower teeth. This prevents involuntary tooth grinding which can place unnecessary strain on the jaw muscles and joints leading to disrupted sleep patterns and chronic pain throughout the day. Wearing an appropriate protective device such as an athletic mouthguard if you have been diagnosed with TMD can prevent further damage to the jaw joints while also providing some relief from painful symptoms associated with this condition.
Overall a custom athletic mouthguard offers superior protection compared to standard store-bought versions while also helping reduce uncomfortable symptoms related to TMJ/TMD. For those looking for improved oral health along with enhanced performance during physical activity – you should consider getting yourself fitted for one!
