Mouth guards, orthodontics and sports with Dr. Vives


Back to school is around the corner! Gear up...
If you play sports, it’s important that you consult Dr. Vives for special precautions. A protective mouth guard is advised for playing sports such as football, baseball and soccer. In case of any accident involving the face, check your mouth and the appliances immediately. If teeth are loosened or the appliances damaged, please schedule an appointment with All-Star Family Orthodontics.
Only by using a mouth guard and other forms of facial protection can kids with and without braces avoid serious sports injuries. Be sure to avoid mouth guards that custom form to your teeth as these will resist any tooth movements we are trying to achieve. Please give us a call if you have any questions about mouth guards or your treatment at All-Star Family Orthodontics.
