A common concern for those just receiving a pair of
orthodontic braces is whether or not they can play sports with braces. The
answer is: yes, you can play sports with braces. The reason is because special
orthodontic mouth guards exist, which provide protection against your
orthodontic appliances. You may have to search around for one that rests
comfortably in your mouth.
Orthodontic mouth guards will only provide extra protection;
they do not guarantee that damage will not be dealt to your braces. It’s still
highly recommended to wear a pair though, just to be on the safe side. Orthodontic
mouth guards are typically made with higher quality materials, as the extra
support is needed to house the wiring and brackets.
Visit our patient information section to learn more about
common questions regarding braces: talking with braces, life with braces, oral
health with braces, etc. If an accident does occur, your orthodontist can
always repair and readjust the damage. Just be sure not to wait a long time to
schedule an appointment, because your teeth will slowly begin shifting out of
place.
Talk to your Las Vegas braces orthodontist for information
regarding sports and wearing braces. We want you to feel as comfortable as
possible while you look forward to receiving a smile not only straightened, but
as bright as it can be!
