Mouth Guards in Irvine, CA
Whether you're an athlete, a nighttime teeth grinder, or someone dealing with jaw tension, a professionally made mouth guard can protect your smile from damage and discomfort. At Smyl OC Dentistry in Irvine, CA, we offer custom-fitted mouth guards tailored to your unique needs. Unlike over-the-counter versions, our guards are more comfortable, more effective, and built to last. From sports-related protection to relief from bruxism (teeth grinding), we’re here to help preserve your smile with precision-fit solutions designed for long-term use.
How Does the Mouth Guard Process Work?
The process begins with a consultation where we evaluate your needs whether for sports, sleep, or TMJ relief. Using advanced digital scanning, we take precise impressions of your teeth. These scans are then used to fabricate a mouth guard that fits snugly, comfortably, and securely. Once ready, we ensure proper fit and function in a follow-up visit. The result is a durable, breathable mouth guard that helps protect your teeth, jaw, and overall oral health.
Preparing for Your Mouth Guard Treatment
Before your fitting, we’ll perform a thorough dental exam to assess any existing damage, alignment issues, or risk factors such as clenching and grinding. If your mouth guard is for athletic use, we’ll customize the design for comfort and airflow. If for nighttime bruxism, we’ll focus on cushioning and jaw support. No prep is needed on your part just come in for a quick and comfortable digital scan. We'll explain how to clean and care for your guard to maximize its lifespan and effectiveness.
Sports Guards for Active Lifestyles
Our custom sports guards protect your teeth, gums, and jaw during contact sports without interfering with your performance or breathing.
Night Guards for Teeth Grinding
If you clench or grind your teeth while sleeping, a night guard cushions your bite and helps prevent enamel wear, jaw pain, and TMJ issues.
TMJ Support and Relief
Some guards are designed specifically to reposition your jaw, reduce muscle tension, and relieve symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ/TMD).
What to Expect During Your Mouth Guard Journey
During your first visit, we’ll perform a scan and discuss the type of mouth guard that best fits your lifestyle. Our custom process ensures a precise fit that offers comfort and protection. Once your guard is ready, we’ll schedule a fitting to ensure it seats properly without causing pressure or irritation.
You’ll also receive tips on maintenance, storage, and hygiene to extend the life of your mouth guard. We’ll be available for adjustments if your dental structure changes or you experience discomfort over time.
