Mouthguards are an excellent way to protect your teeth and braces from potential injury during physical activities. Dr. Morrow recommends using mouthguards for patients with braces, especially for those who play contact sports.

By wearing a mouth guard, you can prevent chipped teeth, broken brackets, and other dental injuries. If you are interested in getting a mouth guard to protect your teeth and braces, be sure to speak with your orthodontist.
