Guide to Mouthguards
| Mouthguards are soft, molded devices worn in the mouth to prevent orofacial injuries. Orofacial injuries are injuries to the head, face, and mouth such as fractured jaws, contusions, andavulsions, which are caused by sustaining punches and blows to the head.
According to the National Youth Sports Foundation for the Prevention of Athletic Injuries, Inc., the most sustained sports orofacial injuries are dental injuries. When worn properly on the upper jaw, mouthguards can prevent as many as 200,000 collegiate and high school football orofacial injuries, as claimed by the American Dental Association.
