Custom Mouth Guards in Miami
You protect plenty of things without a second thought. You buckle a seatbelt, you wear a helmet, you cover what matters. Your teeth deserve that same easy protection, and a custom mouth guard is one of the simplest ways to give it to them. Whether it’s a weekend game or the unconscious grinding that happens while you sleep, a small piece of well-made protection can save you a lot of trouble later.
A simple shield for your smile
A mouth guard is a custom-fitted cover that cushions and protects your teeth. There are a couple of common reasons people wear one. Athletes use a sports mouth guard to shield their teeth from impact during games and practice. Others wear a guard to protect against the wear and pressure of grinding or clenching, a habit many people don’t even realize they have until their teeth start paying for it.
The “custom” part is what makes the difference. A store-bought guard is one-size-fits-most, which often means bulky, uncomfortable, and easy to leave at home. A custom mouth guard made for your mouth is slim, comfortable, and stays put, which means you’ll actually wear it. And the one you wear is the only one that protects you.

How Dr. Gonzalez fits your guard
The comfort of a mouth guard lives entirely in the fit, and that’s where Dr. Gonzalez focuses her care. She takes accurate impressions so your guard hugs your teeth without feeling bulky, then checks that it sits right and feels natural before you take it home.
A guard that fits well is a guard you’ll keep using, and one you keep using is one that actually does its job. That simple logic guides the whole process. She’d rather get the fit exactly right than send you off with something you’ll abandon in a drawer.

Frequently asked questions
Custom Mouth Guards
What’s the difference between a mouth guard and a nightguard?
They’re close cousins. A sports mouth guard protects your teeth from impact during activity, while a nightguard is worn during sleep to protect against grinding and clenching. Both are custom-fitted here, and Dr. Gonzalez will help you figure out which one you need.
Why not just buy a mouth guard at the store?
Store-bought guards are made to fit everyone, which usually means they fit no one especially well. A custom guard is slimmer, more comfortable, and far more likely to stay in place and get worn, which is the whole point.
How do I know if I grind my teeth?
Common clues include a sore jaw in the morning, frequent headaches, worn or sensitive teeth, or a partner who hears the grinding at night. If any of that sounds familiar, mention it at your next visit and we’ll take a look.
How long does a custom mouth guard last?
With proper care, a quality guard lasts a good while. We’ll show you how to clean and store it so it stays in shape, and we’ll check its fit at your regular visits.
Can my teenager get one for sports?
Absolutely. We fit guards for young athletes regularly, and a comfortable custom fit makes a real difference in whether a teen actually keeps it in during a game. Call us at 305-262-0509 to set it up.
