Introduction
Balancing
braces with athletics demands more than resilience—it requires smart preparation and trusted guidance. At
Ortho South, we've supported hundreds of student athletes in
Pelham and
Calera, Alabama, through safe participation in sports without compromising their orthodontic treatment. Under the care of
Dr. Brandon Boggan and
Dr. Zehra Syed, athletes receive proactive strategies to protect their braces while staying active. As
Alabama's most experienced aligner provider, we understand the tools needed—braces,
aligners, mouthguards, hygiene kits—to keep your progress on track.
With over 705 five-star reviews, families know they can rely on us for both treatment excellence and everyday care. Whether you're playing lacrosse under braces or tennis with
Invisalign®, this guide covers everything you need: protective equipment, daily care, and tips for preventing sports injuries. Read on to safeguard your smile while staying in the game, because safety and orthodontic success should always go hand in hand.
Why Sports Safety Matters with Braces
When wires and brackets are in your mouth, ordinary contact can become a dental risk. A stray elbow, face fall, or ball to the teeth may dislodge brackets, bend wires, or cause cuts to lips and cheeks. Such damage leads to discomfort, added appointments, and delays in treatment completion.
At Ortho South, we emphasize that protective gear isn't optional—it's critical. Student athletes with braces are especially vulnerable during rapidly changing games or high-energy drills. We walk families through real scenarios we've seen: broken wires during practice, mouth injuries during gym class, or bracket breaks during weekend tournaments. Planning—like having backup wax, a clean toothbrush, and a spare guard—helps minimize setbacks and keeps smiling strong and treatment consistent.
Choosing the Right Mouthguard for Braces
Not every guard fits braces. Off-the-shelf stock guards often slip or misalign on bracket wires and risk dislodging brackets instead of protecting them.
We recommend:
- Boil-and-bite guards: These mold over your braces after heating, conforming to both wires and brackets. You can remold them after adjustments.
- Custom orthodontic guards: Made from digital scans of your braces, they offer the highest level of comfort, breathability, and protection—even with high-impact contact.
During consultation, we help you select the best option based on your sport, facial anatomy, and appliance type. For custom options, we coordinate with vetted vendors to order precise, comfortable guards for your season ahead. We've found that athletes wearing well-fitted guards report fewer injuries and bracket breaks while playing harder and more confidently.
Training Seasons and Orthodontic Timing: Planning Your Smile Around Sports
At Ortho South, one of the most strategic steps you can take as an athlete is to time your orthodontic treatment around your training and competition calendar. If you're planning to get braces or begin aligners, we recommend scheduling your start date during off-season periods, such as summer or winter breaks. This gives your mouth time to adjust to any initial soreness or tightness before the full demands of practice and competition resume.
Athletes participating in seasonal sports—such as football in the fall or baseball in the spring—can benefit from early discussions with our team. We may tailor your treatment timeline to avoid major adjustments or hardware changes right before playoffs or key tournaments. For example, if you're in braces, we'll avoid placing new archwires or applying power chains right before an intense game week.
We also offer flexible appointment hours to accommodate student athletes juggling games, travel, and homework. Because consistency is key to results, we help ensure your treatment stays on track without interfering with your athletic performance. Aligning your smile with your sports schedule can make all the difference in both comfort and confidence throughout your journey.
Sports-Specific Braces Protection Strategies
Each sport brings unique challenges when braces are involved:
- Football & Lacrosse: Require full coverage guards with added cheek and lip protection to handle high-impact contact.
- Basketball & Volleyball: Often involve hand-to-face collisions—protective guards help absorb finger strikes or accidental ball hits.
- Soccer, Hockey, Rugby: Use guards paired with full-face shields or contoured masks to guard both braces and facial bones.
- Gymnastics, Track, Wrestling, PE Class: Even lower-contact activities can result in falls or collisions—prepare with a guard and backup hygiene kit.
Before practices or matches, we recommend wearing your guard at home to get comfortable with breathing and talking. We also suggest involving coaches or trainers so they understand your braces care needs and know how to avoid unnecessary contact during drills.
Day-to-Day Care Tips for Student Athletes
Ortho South athletes need practical routines:
- Rinse Immediately After Practice: Use water or mouth rinse to eliminate sweat or energy drink buildup around brackets.
- Brush Immediately After Games: Use a soft-bristle or V-cut orthodontic brush, paying special attention above and below brackets.
- Floss Threaders or Proxabrushes: Use these between teeth and under wires to remove hidden debris.
- Always Carry Wax: Apply it over poking brackets during post-practice soreness or irritation.
- Store Your Mouthguard Properly: Use a labeled, ventilated case to keep your mask clean and intact—never wrap it in a napkin or pocket.
- Pack a Mini Care Kit: Include a mini toothbrush, toothpaste, floss picks, wax, and mirror in your locker or sports bag.
- Hydrate Wisely: Avoid sugary and acidic drinks, which can cling to braces; water is your best option before and after activity.
These steps ensure both braces health and athletic performance go hand in hand on game day and beyond.
Common Emergencies and How to Handle Them
Accidents happen—but with preparation, you can minimize disruption:
- Bracket Breaks or Loose Wire: Stop play immediately, apply wax for safety, and call Ortho South for an emergency repair within 24 hours.
- Guard Break or Misfit: Use a backup guard if available or a boil-and-bite to remold at home until your next visit.
- Soft Tissue Injury: Rinse with warm salt water, and use wax to cushion the area until irritation subsides.
- Lost Guard or Trays: Contact us immediately—we can reorder a replacement using your digital records without delays.
- Pain or Discomfort After Practice: Start with wax, gentle rinsing, and call us early, preventing delays and ensuring smooth progression.
Being prepared for orthodontic emergencies—both at home and at school—helps prevent delays in treatment and keeps your braces progress on track.
Aligners vs. Braces: What's Best for Sports
Braces and clear aligners are both excellent options for student athletes, and each comes with its own unique set of benefits. Braces work well with mouthguards, especially in contact sports, since they stay in place and allow for a custom-fit guard to be worn throughout practices and games. Clear aligners, like Shift Aligners or Invisalign®, are removable, which can be a big advantage for athletes who prefer more flexibility and an appliance that’s less noticeable.
Because aligners need to be taken out during play, it’s important to keep track of them to avoid misplacement or delays in treatment. Meanwhile, braces provide continuous treatment during all athletic activities without needing to be removed. At Ortho South, we take into account your sport, treatment goals, and schedule to help you decide what’s right for you. Whether you wear aligners or braces, we’ll make sure your orthodontic care supports your performance on and off the field.
The Psychology of Protection: Why Confidence Impacts Performance
For student athletes, protection is more than physical—it's also psychological. Feeling safe while wearing braces gives athletes the freedom to play without fear, which significantly impacts performance. When you're constantly worried about injury or discomfort, it's hard to stay focused on your game. This is why a well-fitted orthodontic mouthguard isn't just a safety measure—it's a mental game-changer.
At Ortho South, we've seen athletes transform simply by removing the anxiety around their braces. They play harder, speak with more confidence on the field, and stop flinching during contact plays. This confidence carries over into life outside of sports as well, whether it's giving a class presentation or going to a school dance with a confident smile.
Our goal is to equip every athlete with the tools—mental and physical—to succeed. We provide reassurance through education, support through emergencies, and cheer you on through every goal scored, lap finished, and basket made. Because when you feel protected, you play with purpose—and that's where true athletic excellence begins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I play any sport with braces?
Yes—with a properly fitted orthodontic mouthguard, most contact and non-contact sports are safe for athletes.
Are aligners safer than braces during sports?
Both aligners and braces are safe for athletes—they just offer different benefits. Aligners are removable and discreet, while braces work seamlessly with mouthguards for consistent protection during contact sports.
What type of mouthguard should I use?
We recommend either boil-and-bite or custom orthodontic mouthguards, which are molded to fit braces securely.
What if my bracket breaks during a game?
Stop playing, use wax if needed, and call Ortho South for prompt, same-day repairs.
Should I brush more often if I play sports?
Yes—rinsing after practice and brushing thoroughly at bedtime helps prevent debris and decay during treatment.

The Power of Positive Reinforcement in Orthodontics Why Making Visits Fun Matters Here's a little secret we've learned over the years—when kids (and even adults) enjoy their orthodontic visits, they tend to take better care of their teeth. That's why we've gone beyond just straightening teeth. We've created a reward-based experience that's both encouraging and exciting. By making checkups feel like visits to a fun clubhouse rather than a clinical appointment, we've seen patients become more engaged in their treatment. They brush more, floss better, and follow instructions carefully—all because they know a reward might be waiting. It's not just about the fun; it's about building habits that last long after the braces come off. Positive reinforcement is powerful. It taps into motivation in a way lectures and reminders just can't. With our Prize Wheel , we're not just creating smiles—we're creating responsibility, excitement, and self-confidence in every patient. Smile Motivation Through Gamification Let's be real—everyone loves a good game. That's why gamification is such a hit in everything from learning apps to fitness trackers. And now? Orthodontics. At Ortho South, we've gamified the process with our "Spin to Win" system. Here's how it works: show up on time, keep your braces clean, wear your aligners as instructed, or even celebrate a birthday—each action earns you a chance to spin. And the prizes? Think gift cards, gadgets, snacks, toys, and even exclusive Ortho South swag. It's orthodontic care meets game show excitement! Gamification doesn't just create engagement—it transforms routine into reward. It's a strategy backed by psychology that is now bringing smiles and success to every visit. Who knew orthodontics could be this much fun? Introducing the Prize Wheel: A Smile Reward Game Changer What Is the Prize Wheel and How Does It Work? It's big, colorful, and spins like a dream. And it's the star of the show at every Ortho South office. The Prize Wheel is our signature way to say "thank you" to our awesome patients. Standing tall in our office, this vibrant wheel is divided into sections featuring different prizes. Every spin is a moment of suspense, and every stop is a celebration. Patients earn spins through a variety of achievements: Good oral hygiene reports Wearing aligners correctly Being on time for appointments Celebrating birthdays Getting their braces off And so much more! Every time you spin, you have the chance to win something cool. And let's be honest—who doesn't love a bit of anticipation and excitement? Exclusive Prizes, Giveaways, and Smile Surprises At Ortho South, spinning the prize wheel isn't just about fun—it's about winning . And when we say "winning," we mean it. Our prize selections are handpicked to thrill, delight, and reward patients of all ages. From gift cards to local favorites , Bluetooth speakers , branded water bottles , school supplies , and even limited-edition toys , the prizes are just as exciting as the smiles they inspire. We regularly refresh our prize inventory to keep things interesting and ensure returning patients always have something new to look forward to. You never know what you'll find—a Chick-fil-A gift card, a trendy fidget toy, or maybe some Ortho South merch. That mystery is part of the magic. And it's not just kids who get excited. Teens and even adults light up at the chance to spin and win. The excitement is contagious—it fills our office with laughter and energy. We've even had patients post their spins on social media, showing off their winnings and tagging #OrthoSouth for bonus prizes. It's a win-win all around! Patient Reactions: Smiles and Cheers All Around The joy that lights up a patient's face when the wheel lands on a prize they love? It's priceless. We've seen it time and time again—kids jumping with excitement, teens high-fiving each other, and parents smiling from ear to ear. It's not just about the item they win; it's the feeling of being recognized and appreciated. Parents often tell us that their kids ask, "When's our next appointment?" not because they're eager for braces adjustments but because they can't wait to see what they'll win. This kind of enthusiasm transforms the orthodontic experience from clinical into positive and proactive. One mom told us, "The prize wheel changed how my son feels about dental visits. He used to be nervous. Now he looks forward to it like a game show!" That's exactly what we aim for— making orthodontics fun, not fearful . Celebrate the Milestones: Big Moments Deserve Big Rewards Birthdays, Braces Off, and Monthly Achievements Life is made of little moments, and they're worth celebrating. At Ortho South, we don't just treat teeth—we celebrate the people behind the smiles. Every birthday, every "braces off" milestone, and every monthly achievement becomes an opportunity to cheer, snap a photo, and let our patients shine. Braces Off Days are some of the most exciting. That first glimpse of a straight, shining smile after months (or years) of effort deserves applause—and maybe even a few prizes. Patients who complete their treatment get extra spins, small gifts, and sometimes even surprise treats to mark the occasion. And birthdays? Oh yes, we celebrate those, too! Come in on your birthday and you're guaranteed a spin—no questions asked. Some lucky birthday spinners walk away with extra-special surprises, just because it's their day. We also run monthly contests and challenges to keep motivation high. Wear your aligners every day and log your hours? You might win "Patient of the Month" and get a supercharged spin with exclusive rewards. Creating Memorable Patient Experiences What makes an orthodontic practice unforgettable? It's not just the dental work—it's the experience. From the first hello to the final smile, every step of your journey at Ortho South is designed to be memorable. And that includes our fun-loving approach to celebrating you. Our prize wheel is part of a broader commitment to make orthodontic treatment feel like a celebration of progress. We mark your first day with photos, your progress appointments with praise, and your completion day with cheers, smiles, and, of course, prizes. Many of our patients fondly look back on their time with Ortho South. They remember the laughs, the wheel spins, the birthday songs, and the sense of belonging. That's exactly what we want—to create straighter smiles and happier hearts . More Than Just Prizes: Building Confidence and Community How Ortho South Fosters Patient Confidence There's more to orthodontics than wires and aligners. At Ortho South, we're in the business of building confidence . Each prize wheel spin isn't just a moment of fun—it's a small victory. A recognition. A confidence boost. For kids and teens, the journey to straight teeth can feel long and sometimes intimidating. But when their efforts are noticed and rewarded, they feel proud. That confidence carries into school, friendships, and beyond. Our staff makes it a point to celebrate even the smallest wins. Missed fewer brackets this month? Brushed more consistently? Made it through a tough adjustment? Those are victories, and we honor them. Confidence grows with every step, every smile, and every spin. And we don't stop at patients. We make families feel part of the journey, too. Parents are included in celebrations, progress updates, and even the occasional prize wheel cheerleading! The Role of Rewards in Encouraging Oral Health Habits Let's face it—getting kids to brush, floss, and wear their aligners consistently can be a challenge. That's where the prize wheel shines. It turns responsibility into reward. We reinforce good habits through a clear system of incentives. Consistent oral hygiene, appointment punctuality, and following care instructions are all tied to chances to spin and win. And it works. When kids know their next cool gadget or gift card is just one good checkup away, they take ownership of their habits. It's the kind of motivation that doesn't just help while they're in braces—it sets the stage for a lifetime of healthier habits. We're not just giving out prizes—we're shaping routines that stick.
