What are the Different Types of Mouth Guards and How to Care for Them?

STOCK MOUTH GUARDS

– this is the least expensive and ready-made option, that offers the least protection. A stock mouth guard is not considered an acceptable device for facial protection and often interferes with speech and breathing.

MOUTH-FORMED MOUTH GUARDS

– there are two types under this, a shell-liner mouth guard and a thermoplastic mouth guard. This type of mouth guard can provide some degree of protection, but it can be bulky and have a loose fit.

CUSTOM-MADE MOUTH GUARDS

– This type of mouth guard, which is made by your dentist, offers the best protection, fit, and comfort level because it is made from a model of your teeth.
