Sport is fun. It’s
exhilarating and great for your health, but it is also a major cause of dental injuries. At City Dental we want our patients to enjoy playing sport and to get stuck in to the game without having to worry about their teeth and this is why we recommend custom-designed mouth guards.
Mouth guards are specially designed trays, which are worn over the top of the teeth to protect them from injuries. Common examples of injuries, which can occur while doing physical exercise, include dislodged teeth, jaw injuries, fractured teeth and chipped teeth. Wearing a mouth guard provides a barrier between the teeth and potential sources of harm, such as balls, rackets, sticks, other people and hard surfaces.
The OSO Athletic mouth guard
We are very proud to be one of a handful of practices in the UK to offer our clients the amazing OSO Athletic mouth guard. This snazzy gum shield is way more than your average mouth guard and it offers a host of benefits in addition to amazing protection for the teeth. This mouth guard is specially designed to improve and enhance sporting performance and it does this while also reducing muscle tension and pressure around the facial muscles.
The OSO Athletic mouth guard is made based on precise measurements from the individual and once in place in the mouth, it automatically adjusts the position of the jaw to its optimum place; this reduces tension and strain in the muscles and improves contraction. It also reduces the risk of muscular pain in the neck and shoulders and enables players to focus on the game, rather than worrying about pain. This innovative mouth guard is proven to improve balance, strength and flexibility by making muscle contraction more efficient and it is an ideal piece of kit to propel you to the next level in your chosen sport.
