Hockey Mouthguard Suitable for Braces

Protective hockey mouthguards for braces

A hockey mouthguard suitable for braces is essential for any player wearing orthodontic gear. Regular mouthguards are often too tight, deform easily, or press against the brackets, leading to discomfort and poor protection. During a hockey match or training session, a mouthguard is your primary defense against tooth damage or lip injuries. The risks are especially high when wearing braces, as metal edges can worsen injuries. That's why it's crucial to choose a mouthguard specifically designed for use with braces. These are made of flexible materials that allow room for your orthodontics and mold around your teeth without pinching.

Mouthguards made for brace wearers leave enough space around your teeth and adapt without distorting the braces. Many models are designed for multiple uses, which is convenient as your braces may change after adjustments or checkups. Good to know: wearing a mouthguard is mandatory according to KNHB guidelines. A mouthguard for braces not only reduces the risk of injury but also ensures you're following the rules and stepping onto the field fully protected.

Why a special mouthguard for braces?

Standard hockey mouthguards often fit too tightly and can put pressure on your braces. This reduces comfort and may even damage the metal or harm your teeth. Standard models also tend not to fit well, making them more likely to shift or come loose during play. Their lack of flexibility results in an improper fit, making the protection for your teeth unreliable. This increases your risk of lip cuts or other injuries from collisions or contact with the ball.

Mouthguards for braces are specifically designed with the structure of braces in mind. By using medical-grade silicone or other adaptable materials, they stay in place securely without putting pressure on your brackets. This provides optimal protection, enhanced comfort, and helps prevent additional injuries.
