Custom Protection for Your Teeth—Day or Night
At the office of Dr. Aura Marcela Torres, we provide high-quality, custom-fit occlusal and sports mouthguards to help protect your smile from preventable damage. Whether you’re dealing with nighttime grinding or participating in high-impact activities, a professionally crafted mouthguard offers superior comfort, safety, and long-term protection compared to over-the-counter options.
Each appliance is made using precise digital impressions, ensuring a personalized fit that supports both comfort and effectiveness.
What is an Occlusal Mouthguard?
An occlusal mouthguard—commonly known as a nightguard—is designed to protect your teeth from the harmful effects of clenching and grinding (bruxism). If you frequently wake up with jaw tension, morning headaches, tooth sensitivity, or notice wear on your teeth, you may be grinding at night without realizing it.
A custom nightguard creates a smooth, protective barrier between your teeth, reducing pressure on the jaw joints and minimizing enamel wear. For patients with TMJ discomfort or chronic clenching, a nightguard can be an essential part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
What is a Sports Mouthguard?
A sports mouthguard is designed to safeguard your teeth, gums, lips, and jaw during athletic activities. Unlike store-bought guards, a custom-fit sports mouthguard stays securely in place, allowing you to speak clearly and breathe comfortably while you play.
Sports mouthguards are recommended for athletes participating in:
- Martial arts and boxing
- Football, soccer, and hockey
- Basketball and rugby
- Skateboarding, gymnastics, cycling, and similar activities
Wearing a properly fitted mouthguard can greatly reduce the risk of broken teeth, cuts to the lips and cheeks, and jaw injuries—making it essential for athletes of all ages.
