Participation in sports is a great way for children and teens to stay active and build confidence – but it also comes with a risk of dental injuries. At Tye Family Dentistry, our dentists and team provide custom sports mouth guards in Macomb, Michigan, designed to protect your child’s teeth, jaw and soft tissues during physical activity. These durable, comfortable appliances are essential for any athlete involved in contact or high-impact sports.
Unlike over-the-counter options, custom mouth guards offer a precise fit that stays in place and allows for easy breathing and speaking, helping young athletes stay focused and protected.
Why Mouth Guards Matter in Youth Sports
Accidents can happen in an instant – especially in fast-paced activities. A properly fitted sports mouth guard reduces the risk of chipped, broken or knocked-out teeth, and can also help prevent soft tissue injuries, concussions and jaw damage.
Sports that benefit from mouth guards include:
- Football
- Basketball
- Soccer
- Baseball and softball
- Hockey
- Wrestling
- Skateboarding and biking
Benefits of custom sports mouth guards include:
- Superior fit for better comfort and protection
- Increased durability over store-bought options
- Better retention to stay in place during movement
- Easier to speak and breathe during play
- Peace of mind for parents and coaches
We take digital impressions to create a guard tailored to your child’s unique bite and mouth structure.
