    Denture Care: How Much Does a Mouthguard Cost?

    By Danny | Dental Knowledge | Comments are Closed | 13 January, 2020 | 0

    Are you a sporty person who plays high-risk sports like basketball, hockey, rugby, boxing or martial arts? If so, wearing a sports mouthguard is important to protect your teeth and mouth. This article is perfect for people with a sporty lifestyle. Here you will know how much a mouthguard cost is.

    If not wearing you may suffer from loss or crack teeth and a dislocated jaw during an intense game. Besides, young and adult athletes who are not wearing mouth guards are more likely to suffer from dental problems. 

    Wearing a mouth guard during sports does not only save you from dental problems but also help you save money. Imagine an estimated cost of lost front tooth treatment is ranging from $5,000-$10,000. If you will get a mouth guard to avoid that, you will only pay for a lesser amount. Rather than suffering from dental problems and treating it, why not try to invest in a sports mouthpiece?

     

    What are Sports Mouthguards?

    Sports or athletes’ mouthguards are one of the types of mouth protectors designated to any person who plays high-risks sports. It is a flexible and plastic mouth device worn to protect your teeth and mouth. When you are playing, your mouth may suffer from sudden trauma that will lead to dental problems. So, it is recommended to wear a sports mouthguard as it acts as a tooth, mouth tissue and jawbone protector. Keeping you away from unnecessary fractures and dental problems.

    When it comes to wearing, they are comfortable enough, allowing you to speak comfortably without holding your breath. They are also easy to fit and wear, as well as to clean and maintain. Aside from that, athlete mouthpiece is tear-resistant if well taken care of. It is durable enough and has no odour nor taste. There is nothing to worry about wearing it.

     

    What are the different types of Mouthguards?

    Mouthguard comes into two main forms, they are boil and bite mouthguards and custom-fitted mouth protectors.

    Boil and bite mouthguards

    This type of mouthguard is made from a thermoplastic material. From the word itself “boil” you have to put it in hot water first, before placing it to your teeth. As it is quite hard, you must put it in hot water to soften it so it can properly fit on your teeth. Since it is also soft, you can adjust and flatten its shape according to your mouth shape using your fingers. 

    Custom-fitted mouth protectors 

    From the title itself, this mouthpiece is designed and customized in the dental clinic to fit each client’s specific needs. This mouth protector is made in the laboratory and formation is based on the dentist’s instructions after evaluating a client. Before your dentist decides what mouthpiece is ideal to you he will check your teeth and mouth, first. After evaluating, it is handed over to the laboratory and an expert will follow the instructed design.

    Since it is personalized, it is also made up of high-quality materials. The customized mouthguard provides a maximum level of protection for your mouth. As they are built in a way that will comfortably fit your teeth and your mouth’s shape. These mouth protectors are ideal for both night and athletes mouthguards. Unlike the generic mouthguards, customized ones are very durable, and take a long time to lose their shape.

     

    How Much Does a Mouthguard Cost?

    The cost of a mouth protector varies per client, particularly if it is a customized one. The creation of a customized mouthpiece undergoes a layered process so the thickness of each area is well distributed. Mouth protectors have a thicker side on the impact zones, where the front teeth are located to provide full protection. Whereas the other parts of it (roof of the mouth and front teeth’ back) that need little protection are thinner. To make it much simpler, each client’s mouthguard is made and design 100 percent solely for him/her. 

    Custom mouthguards are made comfortably to each individual. It’s cut does not compromise the client’s breathing and speaking. The real reason why custom mouthguards are more expensive than over the counter mouthguards.

    If you are comparing custom and over the counter mouthpiece, you are most likely to choose the latter one. A standard mouthpiece is just around $7 to $25 which is pretty cheap. Whereas a custom mouthguard cost is ranging from $50 to $130. However, if you are going practical, you rather choose the one that can last longer and well suited to you. Sometimes, choosing products with lower prices does not actually help you save money but the other way around.  

     

    Key Takeaway

    Investing in a mouthguard, particularly a custom one, for your protection as an athlete is a good choice. It is a bit pricey than the standard one but having a lost or damaged tooth during the game is more even expensive. Imagine you will pay around $5,000 to $10,000 for dental treatment. So, if you do not want that to happen, you might as well get now a sports mouthguard.
