The Sports Mouth Guard Fitting Process
Taking impressions and images
To begin, Dr. Rai will clean your child’s teeth. Then, she will use our iTero digital scanner to take a digital scan of your child’s mouth. This information will be used to create their custom-fitted mouth guard.
Building the mouth guard
With the help of our partner dental lab, Dr. Rai will design and craft your child’s mouth guard. Our sports mouth guards use an interior cushioning layer of soft plastic that protects your child’s teeth, and a hard outer layer that helps provide impact resistance.
Picking up their mouth guard
Once your child’s sports mouth guard arrives at our office in a few weeks, you’ll come back to our office to pick it up. Then, they can get the protection they need while they're playing sports or participating in other hobbies that may have a high risk of oral injuries.
