Why Buy Grill Guards

GrillGuards is a licensed dental laboratory specializing in Custom Mouthguards. Because we specialize in this one area, we are able to produce a higher quality product.

According to the American Dental Association, more than 5 million teeth are knocked out each year - many during sports activities. In addition, approximately 450,000 emergency room visits each year are due to sports-related injuries to the mouth and face. These injuries include concussions; lacerations to the lips, cheeks, tongue and gums; fractures of the teeth; fracture of the bone directly supporting the teeth; displaced teeth; complete loss of teeth; complete jaw fracture and temporomandibular joint problems (tmj). More than $500 million are spent each year on replacing lost teeth due to trauma from sports. A mouth guard is an important factor in the prevention of all these injuries.

The American Dental Association estimates that mouth guards prevent approximately 200,000 dental injuries each year in high school and collegiate football alone.

There are three types of mouth protectors:

  1. Stock
    Stock mouth protectors are inexpensive and come pre-formed, ready to wear. Unfortunately, they often don't fit very well. They can be bulky and can make breathing and talking difficult.

  2. Boil and bite
    Boil and bite mouth protectors also can be bought at many sporting goods stores and may offer a better fit than stock mouth protectors. They should be softened in water, then inserted and allowed to adapt to the shape of your mouth. If you don't follow the directions carefully you can wind up with a poor-fitting mouth protector.

  3. Custom-fitted
    Custom-fitted mouth protectors are made by a dental professional for you personally. They are more expensive than the other versions, but because they are customized they can offer a better fit than anything you can buy off the shelf.
