Factors Affecting the Price of a Dentist-made Mouthguard
Buying a mouthguard from your dentist may seems costly, but it’s often the safest option for your teeth, especially for athletes. Here are some factors that can affect the price of a dentist-made mouthguard:
-
The dentist makes an accurate mold of your teeth, so you don’t have to worry about making an inexact dental impression using an at-home mold kit, and the mouthguard will fit very nicely.
-
If adjustments are needed, your dentist can conveniently address any concerns.
-
Many store-bought mouthguards are thick and bulky, whereas dental mouthguards have a slim and comfortable fit.
Custom dental mouthguards are also highly recommended if you are a teeth grinder, since these devices are highly personalized as your dentist can adjust the thickness of the mouthguard depending on your level of teeth grinding and clenching.
