With proper care, a custom mouthguard can last several years. However, it’s important to bring it to your regular dental checkups for inspections for wear and fit adjustments.

Mouthguards are protective devices that cover the teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury to the teeth, lips, and gums. They are commonly used in sports to shield the oral structures from impact and during sleep to prevent damage from teeth grinding.
