Wearing braces doesn't mean you have to sit out during sports. With a few simple steps, you can protect your braces and keep your smile safe while staying active. The most important thing is to wear a mouthguard designed for people with braces. Regular mouthguards won't fit properly and can compromise your appliance and delay treatment. Look for a custom-fitted mouthguard engineered for 鐘ヶ淵 歯列矯正 braces. These are pliable and cushioned, allowing them to reduce friction against your cheeks and lips while fitting securely around your brackets.

If you can't get a custom mouthguard, a boil and bite mouthguard made for braces is a good alternative. Always check with your orthodontist before choosing one to make sure it's safe for your specific type of braces. Avoid using generic mouthguards not designed for orthodontics, as they can trap debris, tear wires, or scrape soft tissue.

When playing contact sports like baseball, hockey, or martial arts, always wear your mouthguard. Even in non-contact sports like skateboarding or cycling, a fall can lead to a serious mouth injury. Don't skip it just because the sport seems low-impact. A minor fall can displace your archwire or detach a bracket, which means additional appointments and extended wear time.

After each use, clean your mouthguard with antibacterial toothpaste and lukewarm water. Let it dry naturally in a clean spot in a perforated orthodontic case. Never leave it in hot places like a car or near a heater, as the heat can warp it and make it ineffective.

If you do experience an injury to your mouth or braces during play, check for detached bands, bent archwires, or protruding ligatures. If something feels off, cleanse the area and seek professional advice immediately. Do not try to use household tools to repair it.

Lastly, keep an orthodontic emergency pack nearby. Include wax, tweezers, a mirror, and a sealed case for detached hardware. Having these on hand can help you handle small problems safely before your next visit.

Protecting your braces during sports is about planning and discipline. With the proper protective gear and mindful habits, you can play hard and stay safe without compromising your orthodontic treatment.
