HOW WILL BRACES AFFECT MY SPORTS & EXERCISE?
Your braces won’t stop you from playing sports, but you’ll need to take some extra precautions during these activities.
Always wear a mouth guard. It is a rule you should follow even if you don’t have braces because it will protect your teeth and prevent you from biting yourself during strenuous sports like rugby, football, basketball, hockey or boxing. Mouth guards can also help minimise concussions by stabilising your mouth during contact sports.
Braces are made to fit comfortably in your mouth, but if you get hit with a ball or the shoulder of a teammate, they can do some serious damage, so the mouth guard is vital whenever you head out to play.
If you or a loved one need help with your smile, do not hesitate and make an appointment today 09448 1128. What can we do to make you smile?
