Custom mouthguards are a conservation solution to tooth protection. Potentially saving you from requiring expensive restorative care following dental damage, a mouthguard is an excellent tool to have on hand just in case. Shaped like a retainer, mouthguards fit securely over your upper and lower teeth to prevent unwanted dental trauma.
