Mouthguards are dental appliances that help protect your teeth, tongue, gums, and cheeks from trauma caused by teeth grinding or sports injuries. It helps to reduce the risk of broken teeth and injuries to your lips, tongue, face, or jaw and cushion the face against any blows. They usually cover the upper teeth and offer a perfect solution to protect the soft tissues of your tongue, lips, and cheek lining.
There are two main types of mouthguards.
