Displaced teeth
Permanent jaw joint injury
Neck injuries
Concussions

Technical Notes:
Upper and lower models are needed, including a bite registration of 3 mm thickness at a rest position. To get the most accurate oral fit, an opposing model and bite is necessary. Without an opposing, the doctor may need to do adjustments and there will be no cuspid indentation.

Ensure an accurate impression of all soft and hard tissue areas, especially the vestibule and peripheral areas. Capturing the vestibule areas is critical as this helps with proper retention and protection.

If a mouthguard is made for a patient with orthodontic brackets, the arch wire must be removed to allow for accurate impression or the brackets and wire can be blocked out prior to fabrication.
