Wearing a mouthguard is crucial for protecting your teeth and mouth during physical activities, particularly in sports with a high risk of dental injury. If you have a permanent dental wire behind your teeth, you may wonder if wearing a mouthguard comfortably and effectively is still possible.
A permanent dental wire, also known as a lingual wire, or a fixed retainer is a thin wire bonded to the back of your teeth to maintain alignment after an orthodontic intervention. It is designed to be discreet and usually doesn’t interfere with normal mouth functions.
If you have a permanent dental wire attached to your teeth after orthodontic treatment, you can still wear a custom-made mouthguard to protect your teeth and gums due to physical activities.
In this article, let’s explore mouthguards and how they can protect your teeth even when you have an orthodontic appliance like a permanent dental wire.
