Playing Sports with Braces
Game, Set, Match - we have great
news for athletes! You can still play sports even while undergoing orthodontic
treatment! If you do play sports, it’s recommended that you wear a mouthguard
in order to protect your teeth and your appliance. Let your doctor know if you
need help finding the right mouthguard for the best protection.
In case of a sports emergency, be
sure to immediately check your mouth and your appliance for any damage that may
have occurred. If you notice any loose teeth, or if your appliance has been
damaged, please contact our office right away. You can temporarily relieve the
discomfort with wax or by rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater.
