FAQ
Mouthguards designed for braces typically include extra room around brackets and orthodontic hardware. They are shaped to sit comfortably over braces while allowing room for dental adjustments as treatment progresses.
These mouthguards are commonly made from flexible thermoplastic materials that can be molded for a more personalized fit. Always follow the product’s molding instructions and your orthodontist’s recommendations.
Rinse the mouthguard with cool water after each use, gently brush it with a soft toothbrush and mild soap, and let it air-dry completely before storing it in a ventilated case.
Players can usually communicate while wearing one, though speech may feel different at first. Practicing team calls and instructions during a light workout can help players get accustomed to speaking with the mouthguard in place.
Players should follow their orthodontist’s guidance about when to wear one during practices, games and other basketball activities. Bring the mouthguard to orthodontic appointments so its fit can be reviewed as braces are adjusted.
