The Different Types of Mouth Guards
Mouth guards come in three main types, each offering varying levels of fit and protection.
Stock mouth guards are pre-formed and readily available at sporting goods stores, but they often provide a poor fit and minimal protection.
Boil-and-bite mouth guards are softened in boiling water and then molded to fit the wearer’s teeth.
Custom-made mouth guards are recommended for the highest level of fit and protection.
