Custom Mouth Guards
At SOMI Smile, custom mouth guards protect your teeth and smile during sports and physical activity. Made to fit your mouth precisely, a professional guard offers far better protection and comfort than any generic, store-bought version.
Conveniently located near the University of Miami, our Miami practice crafts comfortable, durable guards with genuine attention to fit, so you can play and stay active with confidence.
What is a Custom Mouth Guard?
A custom mouth guard is a protective appliance, molded precisely to your teeth, that cushions the impact of contact and activity. It helps prevent chipped or knocked-out teeth, cuts to the lips and cheeks, and other injuries that can happen during sports and active play.
At SOMI Smile, we create guards from a precise impression or digital scan, so they fit securely without feeling bulky. We take a comprehensive approach that considers your bite and comfort, which matters for both protection and how easily you can breathe and speak while wearing it.
Because a well-fitting guard stays in place and feels comfortable, you are far more likely to actually wear it, and consistent use is what truly keeps your smile protected.
We begin by capturing a precise impression or digital scan of your teeth, then craft a guard designed for your activity and your bite. When it is ready, we check the fit and make any adjustments so it feels secure and comfortable. We also share simple care tips to keep your guard clean and lasting. The whole experience is easy and unhurried, which is exactly how care should feel in Miami.
Benefits of a Custom Mouth Guard
A custom mouth guard is a simple, effective way to protect your smile during sports and activity. Some of the key benefits include:
Superior Protection
A custom guard absorbs impact far better than a generic one. This significantly lowers the risk of dental injuries during sports and activity. That extra cushioning can make a real difference in a collision.
Comfortable, Secure Fit
Made precisely to your teeth, the guard stays securely in place. You can breathe, speak, and focus on your activity without distraction. Comfort is what makes consistent wear easy.
Protects More Than Teeth
A good guard helps shield your lips, cheeks, and jaw from injury. It can also help reduce the risk of more serious impacts to the mouth.
