Youβll never guess what π€
England Rugby Teamβs 33 to 19 win over New Zealand came with a little surprise for us in the lab. George Ford picked up man of the match wearing a custom sports mouth guard we made. I only saw the photos afterwards, but I will happily take the quiet win for dental tech.
Huge thank you to .anniseaborne for trusting me with this case. When clinician and technician work together, the results speak for themselves, especially in a sport where the tackles are basically controlled car crashes.
Quick reminder for anyone making sports guards. Five millimetres thick, extend to the second molars and locked into occlusion. It all starts with accurate upper and lower scans or impressions.
Love seeing dentistry doing its job quietly in the background while the lads take the hits up front.
