HOW WILL BRACES AFFECT MY SPORTS & EXERCISE?

Bachmann Orthodontics

Your braces won’t stop you from playing sports, but you’ll need to take some extra precautions during these activities.

Always wear a mouth guard. It is a rule you should follow even if you don’t have braces because it will protect your teeth and prevent you from biting yourself during strenuous sports like rugby, football, basketball, hockey or boxing. Mouth guards can also help minimise concussions by stabilising your mouth during contact sports.

Braces are made to fit comfortably in your mouth, but if you get hit with a ball or the shoulder of a teammate, they can do some serious damage, so the mouth guard is vital whenever you head out to play.
If you or a loved one need help with your smile, do not hesitate and make an appointment today 09448 1128. What can we do to make you smile?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
