Sports come with fun, health and the risk of injuries. But the risk of injury to the mouth and teeth is highly ignored. Even regular mouthguards are ineffective while playing contact sports. The American Dental Association advises using custom-fitted mouthguards which are constructed from the cast of athletes’ teeth.
Imagine you are playing your favorite sport and you fall on your mouth by accident, there can be two scenarios –
You face serious injuries causing bleeding and tremendous pain. You will even lose your teeth and damage your lips. You will have to face a lot of inconveniences like regular visits to your dentists and maybe drink your food from a straw for days or weeks. You can also face major damage to the attractiveness of your mouth.

Your teeth stay completely intact because you were wearing a custom-made mouthguards. You might face some minor injuries which might not even require any medication and recover automatically. You can continue playing your favorite sport without any injuries or worries.
