Because your jaw may still be growing, your mouth guard from last year may no longer fit as well as it should. If you are in need of a new mouthguard, please ask any one of our Sondhi-Biggs Orthodontics team members.

Be Smart this Spring
Remember it is springtime again, which is the perfect time for a subtle reminder to protect your face and pearly whites while on the field playing sports. According to The National Youth Sports Safety Foundation, children, high-school athletes and adults have more than 5,000,000 teeth knocked out in sporting events annually.
If you are planning to participate in spring sports this year, remember it is important to have a mouthguard that fits properly. A mouthguard can help with preventing chipped or broken teeth, lip and cheek injuries, mouth lacerations and even concussions. If you have braces, make sure to ask any one of our Sondhi-Biggs Orthodontics team members for a mouthguard specific for your appliances. Remember, if you are in treatment and your teeth are moving, you are not going to be able to wear a "molded" or "fitted" mouthguard.
