What are Mouth Guards?

Mouth guards are protective devices designed to cover the teeth and gums, often used in various situations to prevent dental injuries or damage. They are most commonly associated with sports, where athletes wear them to shield their teeth from impacts, falls, or collisions. However, mouth guards also play a crucial role in dental health for individuals who grind their teeth (bruxism) during sleep or those undergoing orthodontic treatment.

In the context of orthodontics, as demonstrated by Dr. Philip V. Goduco's practice, mouth guards can be an integral part of the treatment plan. Dr. Goduco offers a blend of traditional braces and innovative techniques like Invisalign® to ensure patients achieve the best possible outcomes for their smiles. Using mouth guards in combination with these orthodontic treatments can not only protect the teeth but also help in aligning them correctly during the adjustment process.

Dr. Goduco's commitment to early treatment further enhances the efficacy of these devices, allowing for optimal dental alignment and health from a younger age. By integrating mouth guards into holistic treatment plans, patients can safeguard their dental health while enjoying the benefits of modern orthodontics.
