Mouth Guards and Sports Guards in Winnipeg
At Children’s Dental Centre, we understand that children are always on the move, often practising their favourite sports with their best friends. For this reason, we provide custom-made mouth guards and sports guards to keep your child’s teeth protected in Winnipeg. Additionally, we also provide custom-made mouthguards for children suffering from dental issues, such as teeth grinding or jaw pain. Have a look at what we offer and how our products can contribute to the well-being of your child.
Why Your Child May Need a Mouth Guard
There are several reasons why your child might need a mouth guard. Some of them include
Teeth Grinding: Also known as bruxism, this can happen during sleep or while awake. It can cause wear on the teeth, jaw pain, and headaches.
Jaw Pain Relief: If your child is experiencing discomfort or trouble sleeping due to teeth grinding, a mouth guard can help by providing a protective barrier and reducing jaw strain.
Sleep Disorders: While most common among middle-aged adults, sleep apnea can also affect children. Mouth guards can also be used to reduce mouth breathing and improve sleep.
Sports Guards for Active Kids
For active kids involved in sports like hockey, basketball, soccer, and more, wearing a sports guard is fundamental to prevent dental injuries. These custom-made guards absorb impact and protect your child's teeth from fractures, dislocations, and other injuries during play. By investing in a sports guard, you can help your child enjoy their favourite activities while keeping their smile safe.
Custom Made for Comfort and Style
One of the best features of our mouth guards and sports guards is that they are custom-made to fit your child's unique dental structure. Unlike generic mouth guards that can be uncomfortable, our custom options ensure a snug fit that maximizes comfort and effectiveness. Your child will be more likely to wear their mouth guard consistently if it feels good and looks great!
Understanding the Process
Initial Visit
The journey to getting a custom mouth guard starts with an initial visit to our dental centre. Here, our professionals will evaluate your child's dental health and discuss any specific concerns regarding mouth guards or sports guards.
3D Impression
After the initial assessment, we will take a 3D impression of your child's teeth. This allows us to create an accurate model of their dental structure, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. A well-fitted mouth guard is crucial for optimal protection and comfort.
Design Choice
This is the fun part! Custom mouth guards come in various colours and styles, allowing your child to choose a mouth or sports guards they like. This step is important as it encourages children to wear their mouth guard regularly.
Fitting
Finally, we will set up a fitting appointment to ensure that the mouth guard is comfortable and provides the protection needed. Our team will make any necessary adjustments to guarantee a perfect fit. After the fitting, your child will be all set to engage in their activities with confidence, knowing their teeth are protected.
