Will braces interfere with playing sports?

No, they will not. You may think that a child with braces on their teeth must avoid doing any of the more active sports, due to the notion that any kind of serious impact may be detrimental to the mouth and teeth. This is simply not true. At Haug Orthodontics, we treat wrestlers, hockey players, soccer players, cheerleaders, volleyball players, football, and players in all other types of sports. We do, however, always advise our patients to wear a mouthpiece or a mouth guard if they can.
