A mouth guard is able to provide the teeth and mouth with protection during any number of sports, from rollerblading to skiing. At many times the staff of Stephens Dentistry is approached by patients, who are uncertain as to which mouth guard to purchase, and since there is three different types of mouth guards, patients often feel uncertain as to which of the mouth guard choices will give them the best protection. The ARMOUR mouth guard can be purchased easily via a sporting website or in any sporting store, and the ARMOUR mouth guard is probably the most affordable mouth guard on the market; however, it is import to remember that these ready to wear mouth guards are not molded to the unique shape of wearer's teeth and as such, the ARMOUR mouth guard can easily become dislodged during a game, and many wearers find that these particular mouth guards are uncomfortable. The custom fitted mouth guard which are made by Stephens Dentistry offers complete confidence and protection and they will provide protection to the mouth as well as other facial structures while participating in all sports. Due to the fact that Stephens Density is dedicated to ensuring that their patients receive only the best in dental health and care, we have dedicated a webpage to the use of mouth guards and we have reviewed the ARMOUR mouth guard, the custom fitted mouth guard and a mouth guard which is soaked in hot water and then molded to the shape of the wearer's teeth and mouth.

Other reasons why a mouth guard may be used is by patients who grind their teeth at night, taking into account that the ARMOUR mouth guard is not as comfortable as custom fitted mouth guards, for patients who require the mouth guard for this purpose the ARMOUR mouth guard is not recommended. Since many sports involve some type of physical contact, a good quality and good fitting mouth guard is recommended to both casual as well as professional sports players and since Stephens Density manufactures the custom fitting mouth guards, unlike the ARMOUR mouth guard the guards are customized to offer maximum comfort and maximum protection during sports and the custom fitted mouth guards can be used just as effectively to reduce the symptoms of TMJ.
