From hockey to rugby, your child\u2019s timetable is likely packed with great ways to exercise. While these sports are fantastic for teamwork and fitness, they also come with risks &#8211; particularly to those precious smiles. Without the right protective gear, your child\u2019s teeth could be in jeopardy. That\u2019s where our orthodontic mouthguards come in, reducing the risk of teeth and jaw-related injuries by 45%.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Other sports that require an orthodontic mouthguard are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"custom_link_left\">\n<ul>\n<li>Rugby<\/li>\n<li>Squash<\/li>\n<li>Cricket<\/li>\n<li>Boxing<\/li>\n<li>Karate<\/li>\n<li>Hockey<\/li>\n<li>Horse riding<\/li>\n<li>American football<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why does my child need a custom-made sports mouthguard?<\/h3>\n<p>Participating in contact sports or those involving hard sticks or balls puts your child at risk of serious mouth, jaw, lip and soft tissue injuries. A custom-fit mouthguard is essential in protecting your child\u2019s smile from these risks.<\/p>\n<h3>How are children\u2019s orthodontic mouthguards created?<\/h3>\n<p>Gone are the days of uncomfortable, old-fashioned moulds. At Park Lane, we utilised advanced scanning technology to precisely capture your child\u2019s smile. These scans are then sent off to our trusted orthodontic laboratory, where skilled technicians use cutting-edge 3D printing to create a custom mouthguard tailored specifically for your child. With a wide range of colours and thickness options available, our orthodontic mouthguards ensure the best possible protection for the sports your child enjoys.<\/p>\n<h3>Orthodontic mouthguards over shop-bought mouthguards<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike generic, shop-bought \u2018boil and bite\u2019 mouthguards, our custom creations offer the highest level of protection. Shop-bought options often lack the precise fit required for effectively protecting your child\u2019s smile from injury. Our children\u2019s mouthguards snugly fit your child\u2019s mouth, extending beyond the teeth to provide firm support and minimise impact, protecting both your child\u2019s teeth and jawbones.<\/p>\n<h3>Caring for your child\u2019s custom-made mouthguard<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"custom_link_left\">Ensure your child does not expose their mouthguard to high temperatures, as this will change its shape.<\/li>\n<li class=\"custom_link_left\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Keep the mouthguard away from hot surfaces for the same reasons as the above \u2013 this will affect the protection it can offer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"custom_link_left\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Keep the mouthguard stored away in a protective container \u2013 this will stop it from collecting debris and bacteria.<\/span>\n<p>If your child\u2019s teeth are still developing, regular replacement of the mouthguard is necessary to ensure continued protection as their smile evolves. If cared for properly, an orthodontic mouthguard should last up to 2 years.<\/p>\n<h3>Children\u2019s Orthodontic Mouthguards at Park Lane<\/h3>\n<p>At Park Lane, we understand the importance of timely orthodontic care for children.
