Every practice has athletically active patients of all ages. An intraoral mouth-guard is not only an important part of a total program of dental care in preventing injuries during sporting activities but also a valuable referral-building tool for your practice. In Canada, we often think of mouthguards as something only needed with the "heavier contact" sports like hockey, football, rugby and lacrosse. Yet, tooth protection is every bit as important in low-contact sports such as soccer, tennis, baseball, softball/slow-pitch, basketball, cycling or rollerblading. An athletic mouthguard should be employed in any activity where contact or a fall can occur. Whether protecting natural dentition or recent cosmetic or restorative work, this simple preventative service helps keep your patients' smiles beautiful - quickly and inexpensively.

Available in an exciting array of colours to encourage patient acceptance and compliance, our comprehensive Sports-Flex Family of laminated athletic mouthguards has been designed to protect the teeth and lips. Individually custom-crafted using heat and pressure, they also help reduce forces that may cause concussions, cerebral haemorrhage, neck injuries and jaw fractures. A palatal brace of hardened plastic supplies added support for high risk upper anteriors, transmitting shear forces away from the tooth. Choose from:
