A mouth guard is a protective device worn over the teeth to prevent injury or damage. It's commonly used in sports like basketball, football, and hockey to shield against impacts, bites, and collisions. Mouth guards can also be prescribed for medical conditions such as bruxism (teeth grinding) or TMJ disorders to reduce strain on jaw muscles and protect the teeth from excessive wear.

A mouth guard is a custom-fitted appliance used to protect the teeth and jaw during contact sports or grinding. In Australia, this treatment can prevent dental injuries and improve sleep quality for those with bruxism.
The Australian Dental Association recommends regular check-ups to ensure proper fit and function of mouth guards.
