Wouldn’t you believe it, it’s almost springtime! The spring and summer months, however, bring an increase in outdoor activities and a greater chance of kids damaging their precious mouths and pearly whites. If you play sports, it's important that you consult Dr. Hughes for special precautions. A protective mouth guard is advised for playing spring sports such as baseball and soccer. Be sure to avoid mouth guards that custom form to your teeth as these will resist any tooth movements we are trying to achieve. In case of any accident involving the face, check your mouth and the appliances immediately. If teeth are loosened or the appliances damaged, please schedule an appointment with Hughes Orthodontics. And don’t forget to ask us—Dr. Hughes will provide a mouth guard for any patient in active treatment at no additional charge.
Only by using a mouth guard and other forms of facial protection can kids with and without braces avoid serious sports injuries. Please give us a call if you have any questions about mouth guards or your treatment at Hughes Orthodontics.

I am little bit confused and want to know that mouthguards fit exactly onto the teeth, do not move and allow to breathe freely and after a short time of adaptation to speak normally.
