Key Differences Between A Night & Sports Mouthguard
It is not uncommon to confuse a custom night guard from a custom sports mouthguard. Both are meant to protect your teeth from being damaged. Selecting the right one night or sports guard for you or your child is essential. Dr. Kaur designs our night and sports guard specifically for your individual mouth. When you purchase a non custom guard, you will ultimately find it tobe either loose, or will not fit as well as it is generic. With a custom guard, it will protect your teeth to a much higher degree as it will fit much more properly.
