What does a mouth guard do?
Mouth guards protect your teeth from damage caused by excessive pressure, grinding, or impact (during sport), reducing the intensity by absorbing some of the force and spreading it out across a greater area. It also helps in preventing snoring and sleep apnea and lets you have a better sleep at night.
Depending on why you have been prescribed a mouth guard, it can be worn anytime as per instructed by your dentist.
It is the one given to the athletes to protects against trauma (fractures and displacement) to the jaw joint and jaws by cushioning and reducing the amount of shock produced when the upper and lower jaws collide.
Athletes who participate in sports like hockey, football, rugby, etc. are at greater risk of chipping or even losing teeth. If you're wearing a mouth guard its least likely that you get any severe injury like that.
