Who should get a custom oral appliance?

Custom athletic mouthguards are ideal for patients who participate in contact sports or activities where dental injuries are a risk. Custom nightguards are recommended for individuals who grind or clench their teeth during sleep, often leading to tooth wear, jaw soreness, or headaches. During your exam, we can evaluate your needs and determine which type of appliance is most appropriate for protecting your oral health.

How do you take care of an athletic mouthguard or nightguard?

To keep your appliance in good condition, rinse it thoroughly before and after each use and clean it regularly with a soft toothbrush and mild soap. Store it in a protective case when not in use, and avoid exposing it to excessive heat, which can cause warping. Bringing your appliance to routine dental visits allows us to check its fit, condition, and effectiveness over time.

Are custom mouthguards covered by insurance?

Coverage varies depending on your dental insurance plan and the type of appliance being prescribed. Nightguards are more commonly covered when they are considered medically necessary to treat grinding or clenching, while athletic mouthguards may not always be included. If your insurance does not provide coverage, many patients use FSA or HSA funds to help offset costs, and we also accept flexible third-party financing options to help make custom oral appliances more affordable.
