What advice should you give to children who play contact sports?

In this specific context, the use of quality devices such as mouthguards, available on the market, is highly recommended. Before purchasing one, however, it's best to ask your orthodontist for advice. There are mouthguards specially adapted to certain appliances; choosing the wrong equipment can lead to technical damage. Mouthguards for rugby or American soccer players, for example, include small elements that can be fitted around the helmet and are perfectly adapted to the appliances.
