As an essential part of many athletes\u2019 sport equipment, mouth guards work to protect players\u2019 teeth and prevent dental injury\u2014But which mouth guard is right for you?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stock mouth guards<\/strong> are preformed and come ready to wear. They are inexpensive and can be bought at most sporting goods stores in Grapevine, TX. Unfortunately, little can be done to adjust their fit: they are bulky, make breathing and talking difficult and they provide little or no protection. Dr. Martin does not recommend this type of mouth guard to his patients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boil and bite mouth guards<\/strong> can also be bought at many sporting goods stores in Grapevine, TX, and may offer a better fit than stock mouth protectors. Boil and bite mouth guards are made from a thermoplastic material so that consumers can do just as the name says; \u201cboil and bite\u201d to ensure a perfect fit. Hot water softens this product and allows consumers to shape the mouth guard around their teeth using finger and tongue pressure. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilesbymartin.com\/meet-dr-martin.html\">Dr. Martin<\/a> however, also does not recommend this to his patients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Custom-fit mouth guards<\/strong>, although more expensive than the other types, will provide the most comfort and protection.
