Maintain Your Beautiful Smile and Protect Your Teeth with Personalized Mouthguards

Have you been told you need a mouthguard in Chicago, Illinois? Welcome to A Brush Above Family Dentistry for all your mouthguard needs. Whether you need a sportsguard or mouthguard for TMD or sleep apnea, you are in the right place. Drs. Marcella Guzman, Philip Fidel, and Rosa Sinno offer multiple dental guard options to preserve your smile and oral health.

Types of mouthguards for a healthy smile

Mouthguards are removable appliances created from flexible plastic to protect teeth and other oral structures from factors like tooth grinding and accidents. Our office understands different patients have varying needs. So, we offer multiple mouthguard options to accommodate different needs.

• Sports mouthguards: An athletic mouthguard is a good choice if you participate in sports like rugby, boxing, cycling, and other contact and high-risk sports. A sports mouthguard protects your teeth, gums, and other structures from blows, falls and knocks
• TMD mouthguards: Have you been constantly battling unexplained headaches and jaw pain? The cause could be TMJ pain, often caused by bruxism or tooth grinding. We offer a nightguard that snugly fits over the lower and upper teeth to prevent these teeth from meeting and to allow the jaw muscles and joints to relax, relieving TMD symptoms
• Sleep apnea mouthguards: If you have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), you don’t have to wear a cumbersome and uncomfortable CPAP machine. Our dentist can offer a mouthguard that depresses your tongue and maintains your lower jaw in an optimal position to allow healthy breathing when sleeping. Also known as oral appliance therapy, a sleep apnea mouthguard is an effective treatment for OSA and even snoring

Several mouthguards exist, including generic and “boil and bite” mouthguards. These mouthguards aren’t created with your bite impressions, so they rarely fit well. A substandard mouthguard can cause more harm than good, so we only recommend customized mouthguards. Our bespoke mouthguards are fabricated after taking imprints of your dentition. As a result, these dental guards fit comfortably and offer maximum protection.

Benefits of custom-designed mouthguards

Store-bought dental guards are cheap and convenient but rarely do the job as intended. Imagine your dental guard falling out of place just before receiving a blow in a boxing match! Since generic mouthguards don’t fit well, they can disappoint when you least expect it. 

Customized mouthguards are created specifically for your mouth. As you’d expect, they fit snugly to offer optimal protection and comfort. Besides, these oral appliances are made from high-quality materials for durability.
