Mouthguards protect you from oral/facial injuries. There are plenty of styles out there to choose from. You can buy them over the counter or have them custom fit by your dentist. We recently had one made for my daugher to fit over her braces. She got a vacuum custom made mouthguard and hopefully it wil be more comforable from the over the counter boil and bite type that we have been using.
My question is two parts.
Do you use a mouth guard when sparring, why or why not? and if you do what type do you use? I know there is a laminate type that your dentist can make, are they any good. Her orthodontist suggested not getting one of these made until after all her teeth had shifted but I am inquiring for the future.
Thanks,
Lisa
