Custom Mouthguards
in Kissimmee, FL
Protection That Fits You, Not Just Anyone
Your teeth are built to last a lifetime, and protecting them from unnecessary wear and damage is one of the smartest things you can do. Whether you're an athlete, a parent of an active child, or someone who grinds their teeth at night, a properly fitted mouthguard can make a real difference. At Brisa Dental Arts, we create custom mouthguards that are comfortable, durable, and designed to fit your specific smile.
Dr. Johana Cobo and Dr. Elizabeth Santiago fit patients throughout Kissimmee, FL, with high-quality custom guards that far outperform anything you'd find off the shelf.
Custom Guards for Every Kind of Protection
A good mouthguard does more than protect your teeth, it has to fit well enough that you'll actually use it. Our dentist in Kissimmee offers custom-fitted guards for two of the most common situations where your smile needs a little extra defense.
Sports Mouthguards
Store-bought sports guards are often bulky, uncomfortable, and easy to leave at home. A custom sports guard from Brisa Dental Arts fits precisely, stays securely in place, and lets you breathe and speak naturally during activity. It also provides significantly better protection against impact than a generic option.
We recommend custom sports guards for anyone who plays contact or collision sports, football, basketball, soccer, martial arts, hockey, and more. If your child is active, this is one of the simplest ways to protect their smile.
Night Guards for Teeth Grinding
Bruxism, grinding and clenching during sleep, is more common than most people realize, and it can cause real damage over time. Worn enamel, chipped teeth, jaw soreness, morning headaches, and tooth sensitivity are all common signs. A custom night guard creates a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, absorbing the force of grinding and allowing your jaw muscles to rest.
If you've noticed any of these symptoms, or a sleep partner has mentioned that you grind your teeth, let us know at your next visit. We can evaluate your teeth for signs of wear and discuss whether a night guard is the right next step.
Why Custom Fits Better
Generic guards come in one-size-fits-most designs that rarely fit well or stay in place comfortably. They can interfere with breathing, cause soreness, and often end up in the nightstand rather than in your mouth. A custom guard is made from precise impressions of your teeth, so it fits securely without bulk and a guard that's comfortable to wear is one that will actually get worn.
