Winning Safety on the Field: Custom Mouthguards for Student Athletes at Bee Cave Orthodontics

As spring sports approach, students are participating in soccer, lacrosse, basketball, baseball, flag football, track and softball. At Bee Cave Orthodontics, we understand the importance of not only enhancing smiles but also prioritizing the safety of young athletes. That’s why we make custom mouthguards to ensure optimal protection for students engaged in sports activities.

The Importance of Mouthguards
Participating in sports involves inherent risks, and protecting the oral cavity is crucial. Custom athletic mouthguards serve as a vital piece of protective gear, safeguarding the teeth, gums, braces and jaw from potential injuries during intense physical activities. Our custom mouthguards fit snugly around the teeth and mouth to allow athletes to breathe and talk freely while allowing them to compete at their best!

Customization Process
Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment of the individual athlete’s dental structure and specific requirements. We will first take a scan of the athlete’s mouth with an iTero 3D Scanner, and then print the models in our 3D printer. They are precise, high-tech, no goop or gooey impressions. The mouthguard is then created for ultimate comfort and maximum absorption of potential impact! Unlike generic over-the-counter mouth guards, our custom-fitted guards offer superior protection and durability.

Materials and Technology
Our state-of-the-art materials and technology crafted mouthguards meet the highest standards of safety and performance. The guards are made from high-quality, resilient materials that absorb and disperse impact forces, reducing the risk of dental injuries. Our commitment to using the latest technology ensures that the mouth guards are not only effective but also comfortable for prolonged use. Plus, we can add styling that capture the athlete’s look.

Tailored for Different Sports
Different sports pose different risks and require specific types of protection. Whether it’s the need for increased shock absorption in contact sports or enhanced breathability in endurance sports, we tailor our mouthguards accordingly.

Customizing Comfort
Uncomfortable or ill-fitting mouth guards are often neglected by athletes. Our custom-fitted guards are designed with comfort in mind, encouraging consistent use. The snug fit ensures that the guards stay in place during rigorous physical activities, providing uninterrupted protection.

Contact Us
At Bee Cave Orthodontics, we prioritize the overall well-being of our patients, especially when it comes to their athletic pursuits.. By combining advanced technology, materials, and a commitment to individualized care, we aim to keep our young athletes safe on the field and beautiful smiles intact.

Touch-Up’s With Invisalign – A Simple Solution for Your Teeth Shifting

Shift Happens! We understand that life can get busy and you may have noticed that your teeth have shifted after you lost your retainers or slow shift has occurred over the years. If it’s been several years since you’ve had braces or Invisalign, shifting is normal and inevitable. That’s where Invisalign Touch-Up’s become extremely effective. Dr. Adriana Da Silveira uses Invisalign to address minor alignment problems, including shifting, often in just a matter of months. If you’ve noticed some shifting in your previously straight smile, you may be wondering what’s causing it and how you can fix it. We can help! Let’s take a closer look at what can cause an orthodontic relapse and how Dr. Adriana Da Silveira can use touch-up treatment to correct it.

What are some reason’s you may benefit from a Invisalign Touch-Up?

– Not wearing a retainer

– Teeth shifting

– Aging

– Teeth Loss

– Genetics

– Teeth grinding

What are the benefits of touching up your smile?

Unlike a comprehensive treatment with Invisalign and braces, Invisalign Smile Touch-Ups can boost your smile in just three to six months, correcting issues like minor crowding, shifting, or spacing problems!

Who benefits from Touch-Up’s?

Adults and teenagers who have had braces/retainers in the past or those who have mild shifting of previously straight teeth.

Our Touch-Up aligners are easily removable for eating, drinking, and flossing, so they won’t add hassle to your daily life. Fortunately, you won’t have to worry about emergency visits for broken wires or brackets. The aligners are comfortable to wear and easy to clean, just like standard Invisalign. Although the treatment process is quick, you won’t have to attend more in-office visits with Smile Touch-Up, which leaves your schedule open for other activities.

Price?

Invisalign Touch-Ups are more affordable than you think! The cost will depend on how many aligners and the amount of movement needed to re-align your teeth.

What can I expect from treatment?
The first step of the Smile Touch-Up is receiving a consultation from our very own experienced orthodontist, Dr. Adriana Da Silveira and our team of assistants. We will take a 3D scan of your teeth and design your custom treatment plan. You’ll see a digitized model of your teeth before and after treatment, so you’ll be able to envision your new smile from day one!

Once our experts finalize your treatment plan, you’ll pick up your first round of aligners and start on your smile journey. You’ll change your trays every one to two weeks until you reach your smile goal, visiting us periodically to ensure that your treatment is on track. Your new smile may be ready in just a few months, depending on your unique case.

Ready to start your Smile Touch-Up?
At Bee Cave Orthodontics, our top priorities are high-quality care and patient satisfaction. As one of the leading Invisalign providers in the country, we know how to give you a beautiful smile in a way that works for you.

If you’ve been considering improving your smile, we are happy to help! Schedule your free consultation here.

AFTER YOUR TOUCH-UP, MAINTAIN YOUR SMILE USING OUR VIVERA RETAINER PROGRAM

As a leading preferred provider with Invisalign, Dr. Da Silveira and her team are excited to introduce the Vivera Retainer Program through Invisalign’s Vivera Retainer Subscription Program! Wearing a retainer regularly stabilizes your bite in its ideal position, and will make sure that your teeth do not shift. After your Touch-Up (or now if you don’t need a Touch-Up), setup an appointment to receive four sets of Vivera retainers. Each set includes a clear retainer for the top and bottom.
