Mouthguards are custom-made dental devices designed to protect your teeth, gums, and jaw from injury during various activities. At Caspian Dental & Orthodontics, our dentists provide tailored mouthguards to safeguard against sports injuries, teeth grinding (bruxism), and other dental issues. These devices are made from high-quality materials to ensure a comfortable fit and effective protection. Whether you are an athlete or someone who suffers from bruxism, our custom mouthguards can help prevent damage to your teeth and maintain your oral health.
