Mouthguard 3D Printing: Safety Belts for Dental Injury Prevention

A new trend in mouthguards using 3D technology is emerging as sports professionals and amateurs alike seek better protection against dental injuries during physical activities.

Facial injuries, particularly those affecting the teeth and jaw, are a significant concern in sports, with studies showing that nearly half of individuals might experience some form of oral trauma during their development. As a result, mouthguards have become essential protective equipment in various sports, particularly in contact sports like soccer, basketball, and martial arts, as well as in activities where falls occur, such as cycling and inline skating. Athletes are increasingly adopting mouthguards to safeguard their dental health and prevent injuries. Additionally, non-professional athletes are encouraged to wear customized mouthguards tailored to their oral anatomy to mitigate risks of dental trauma, as noted by dental experts.
