What are mouth guards?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mouth guards are dental appliances made of high-grade dental plastic material that protect the teeth, mouth, and jaw by acting as a cushion. A protective mouth guard must be comfortable, resilient, resistant to tear, durable, and can easily be cleaned. It should fit the mouth perfectly without restricting breathing or speech for good team play and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
