During Orthodontic Treatment
While braces with an attached wire do diminish the force absorbed by the tooth upon impact or trauma, it is not sufficient to replace a properly worn mouth guard. The best mouth guard is a custom one (described below) but is not recommended during orthodontic treatment. For the same reason it is the best, i.e. it snugly surrounds the teeth, it also prohibits the tooth from moving. That is to say, it works against Dr Hiller’s efforts to move your teeth to the correct positions.
A respectable alternative, the Shock Doctor, can be found and purchased at a local pharmacy and some sport stores. Dr. Hiller recommends this during your treatment.
