Mouth Guards in Orangeville
(519) 307-6300
There are two situations when teeth benefit from extra protection. One is when you are sleeping and one is when you are very, very awake — during athletics. The need is obvious for a dental guard while engaged in football, boxing, wrestling, hockey, baseball, and other sports-dangerous-to-your-teeth. Athletic guards prevent lost and broken teeth, thus avoiding thousands of dollars in dental expense.
Night Guards & Athletic Guards
Not so obvious is the need for a guard during the night. Some people have a night-time habit of grinding or clenching their teeth, sometimes putting a great deal of pressure on their natural teeth, replacement teeth and dental restorations such as fillings and crowns. In addition, this can place too much pressure on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), resulting in pain, headaches, and/or clicking noises when opening and closing the mouth.

Ready-made athletic guards may be found at sporting good stores, but there is little that can be done in the way of adjusting the fit. Such devices can be uncomfortable and even interfere with breathing and speaking, thus discouraging an athlete from wearing the device at all.
On the playing field, not being able to speak clearly can lose a game! Given the importance of protecting your teeth and winning games, you might want to order a custom-made athletic guard that you will actually wear.
Custom-Made Mouth Guards
Dr. Meysam can provide you with a custom-made night guard or athletic guard, consisting of a thin layer of molded plastic that fits snugly over your teeth, prevents the top teeth and bottom teeth from making contact, and (in the case of an athletic guard) protects you from blows to the mouth.
During your first appointment, we will make impressions of your upper and lower teeth. These will be sent to a dental laboratory, where trained technicians will model and form the guard appliance. Dual-laminate mouth guards consist of two layers, an inner layer for comfort and an outer layer for durability. Proform athletic guards, which we recommend, are made of three laminated plastic layers and incorporate a shock transmitter behind the four most vulnerable teeth – the incisors.
During your second visit, we will make sure the guard fits properly and give you instructions regarding its use and care. That part is simple! Brush your guard when you brush your teeth! Depending on the type, the use, and the degree of care, a guard generally lasts from three to ten years.

Financial options that suit your lifestyle
- Insurance Plans
To make your dental visits as easy as possible, we accept all dental insurance plans. Our office follows the Ontario Dental Association Suggested Fee Guide. Claims are submitted electronically (where applicable) and payment from the insurance is accepted directly, provided your insurance will pay the office directly.
When your insurance does not cover the services at 100%, our office collects the co-payment, which is the portion, not covered by the dental plan, as required by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario Regulations.
- Orthodontic Treatments
For orthodontic treatments, which require months or years of ongoing treatment, we can design a convenient, affordable, and interest-free, monthly payment plan depending on the complexity of the case, the duration of treatment and your budget.
- Other Financing Options
We do understand that at times, dental treatment can be costly. If you need some extra help in being able to pay for your treatment plan, we offer a financing option through a specialized dental financing firm. Once your treatment plan has been decided upon, there is a simple application process, and in some cases, approval within 48 hours!
