Mouthguards

Date Posted: 12/1/2001

Question
What if my child has bands on the teeth?

Answer
If the child is in the middle of orthodontic treatment, they may be encouraged to avoid contact or collision sports for the duration because of the potential of lip lacerations. However, there are ways of making mouthguards that still fit reasonably well if sport must continue.
