Protect Your Smile With Custom Mouthguards
IN LUCK, WI
The Benefits of a Custom Mouthguard
Whether you’re protecting your smile during sports or preventing damage caused by nighttime teeth grinding, a custom mouthguard can provide the comfort and protection you need. At Luck Dental Clinic, Dr. Morgan Clemenson creates personalized oral appliances designed to fit comfortably, stay securely in place, and help safeguard your teeth from injury and excessive wear.
How Do Mouth Guards Work?
A mouthguard works by creating a protective barrier between your teeth, reducing the risk of chips, fractures, and soft tissue injuries during physical activity. For patients who grind or clench their teeth, a night guard helps cushion the bite and minimize the damaging effects of bruxism.
Mouthguards from a professional dentist are superior to commercial options, so don’t waste your time and money with appliances that won’t protect your teeth— discover how our Luck dentist can help shield your smile from harm.

Custom Mouthguards for Sports, Teeth Grinding, and Everyday Protection
Sport Mouthguards
From football and hockey to basketball, skiing, and other activities, sports-related dental injuries can happen quickly. A custom sports mouthguard from Luck Dental Clinic is designed specifically for your smile, providing better comfort, retention, and protection than generic store-bought options.
Nightguards for Teeth Grinding and Bruxism
A night guard is a comfortable oral appliance designed for patients who grind or clench their teeth while sleeping. This condition, known as bruxism, can gradually wear down enamel, increase tooth sensitivity, and contribute to jaw discomfort. While a night guard does not stop teeth grinding, it helps cushion your bite and protect your teeth from the damaging effects of excessive pressure.
Some oral appliances may also help certain patients with snoring or sleep-related breathing concerns. During your visit, Dr. Clemenson will evaluate your symptoms, discuss your concerns, and determine whether an oral appliance may be an appropriate option for your needs.
Caring For Your Mouthguard
Proper care is essential to help extend the life of your custom mouthguard and keep it clean, comfortable, and effective. To get the most from your appliance, Dr. Clemenson recommends:
-
Brush and floss your teeth as usual before wearing your mouthguard.
-
Rinse your mouthguard with cool water before placing it in your mouth and after removing it.
-
Avoid hot water, as heat can distort the shape and affect the fit of your appliance.
-
Clean your mouthguard regularly using a soft toothbrush and a gentle cleaner designed for dental appliances.
-
Bring your mouthguard to your routine dental visits so Dr. Clemenson can check its fit, condition, and effectiveness.
-
Store your mouthguard in a ventilated, protective case when it is not being worn.
Frequently Asked Questions
Mouthguards play an important role in protecting your teeth and oral health from injury and damage. During contact sports or other high-impact activities, a mouthguard can help protect the teeth from impacts, falls, and other injuries. Mouthguards can also protect teeth from the effects of bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching), helping prevent excessive wear, chips, and other damage while preserving the health and appearance of your smile.
Custom mouthguards are designed specifically to fit your teeth and mouth, providing a more comfortable and secure fit than many store-bought options. A properly fitted mouthguard is less likely to slip or interfere with speaking and breathing, making it easier to wear consistently. Custom mouthguards can also be made to accommodate existing dental work or specific oral health needs.
Mouthguards can benefit anyone who participates in contact sports or activities where there is a risk of injury to the teeth or mouth. They may also be recommended for patients who grind or clench their teeth while sleeping. Your dentist can evaluate your needs and recommend the type of mouthguard that offers the appropriate protection.
You may benefit from a nightguard if you grind or clench your teeth while sleeping. Signs of nighttime grinding may include worn or chipped teeth, tooth sensitivity, morning jaw soreness, headaches, or tenderness when chewing. Your dentist can look for signs of bruxism during an examination and determine whether a custom nightguard is appropriate for you.
