 The Custom-Made Protector. Provides all the qualities found in an ideal mouth protector. It is best constructed over a cast (model) made from a dental impression of the athlete's teeth. This mouthguard is then made by fabricating a resilient material over the model. The custom-made protector is easily retained in the mouth and does not interfere with speech or breathing.
