What does Custom really mean?


CLICK N’ FIT Daily Bit


For PARENTS of those YOUTH athletes that are between the ages of 7-13 years old

can I still get a custom mouthguard if:
  • My child is still losing teeth ....
  • My child has some teeth missing ....
  • My child has a permanent retainer ....
  • My child has a some orthodontic wires in place for a period of time ....
  • My child has bonding on specific teeth, is that a problem ....
We hear many different concerns from parents of youth athletes regarding specific situations which are specific to their youth athlete.  Every situation, child, and circumstance is different so there may be different solutions or answers to similar concerns.  However, we hope that we can address and provide some education on the importance of the word CUSTOM and how it applies to Click N' Fit, our processes, and ultimately the impact on the custom mouthguards that our athletes wear.  There is no other company or mouthguard that is designed around as many specifications of the athlete than a Click N' Fit.

Click N' Fit has developed a proprietary modeling technique which provides for the most proactive anticipation and fabrication of a mouthguard to best fit and suit the specific athlete.  This technique allows for customization of the athletes impression and model prior to fabrication.

Losing Teeth
Once an impression is taken, the basic dental structure of the athlete is mirrored.  Therefore, if an athlete starts to lose teeth, the mouthguard itself is not minimally effected.  The teeth that were once there are still formed and fabricated in the mouthguard leaving the space for the secondary teeth to grow into.  Obviously every athlete is different so how and where the secondary teeth grow cannot be know.  Another mouthguard can be fabricated to account for the new teeth.

Missing Teeth
When teeth are missing, they can be seen and captured in the impression of the athlete.  Click N' Fit is able to customize the model of the impression to include or exclude teeth PRIOR to the fabrication of any mouthguard.  Therefore, mouthguards can be customized and modeled to factor in and anticipate secondary teeth BEFORE the mouthguard is made.  This allows for an additional 4-6 months of use for younger athletes to wear their Click N' Fit.  Most other mouthguards would only fit for the period of time until the secondary teeth started to grow in which could significantly reduce the lifespan of the mouthguard.

Orthodontic wires, spacers, etc.
As you can see from the sample on the right, the Click N' Fit mouthguard has captured all of the orthodontic wires as it pertains to this athlete's bridge expander.  The mouthguard clicks up onto the teeth perfectly without having ANY obstruction or interference from the orthodontic wires that are in place.  The notches and cutouts provide a secure fit with the utmost protection.





Bonding and Other Cosmetic Work
In the instances where bonding of single and multiple teeth are present, we are able to provide those teeth with ample spacing when sitting within the Click N' Fit Mouthguard.  Similar to the orthodontic and missing teeth concerns above, the Click N' Fit modeling techniques allow for custom modifications PRIOR to the fabrication of the mouthguard to provide the perfect fit and safest protection.  Bonded teeth are modeled so that the individual teeth have a 'looser' fit within their cavity of the mouthguard while all other teeth are perfectly and tightly fitted.

SO, BEFORE YOU DECIDE AGAINST A CLICK N' FIT MOUTHGUARD DUE TO ANY OF THESE REASONS, PLEASE THINK AGAIN.  THERE IS NO OTHER MOUTHGUARD THAT PROVIDES THE FIT AND CUSTOMIZATION LIKE THE CLICK N' FIT.
