Having one means you can spend more time doing what you enjoy without having to worry about injuries.

Sports Guards benefits

A perfect fit

Custom mouth guards are personalised to fit your teeth.

Prevents injury

They provide a snug fit for high protection. They’ll look after your teeth better compared to a generic mouth guard.

Comfortable to wear

A dentist mouth guard is comfortable, so you’ll hardly realise that you’re wearing it at all.

How it works

Creating your custom gumshield is a simple and non-invasive process.

Impressions

Your dentist will take a mould of your teeth, which is then used to make your custom fit mouth guard.

Collection

Once your gum shield is ready at the dentist practice to collect, you can try it on. You can then take it with you to wear out on the pitch for a great game.

FAQs

Why choose a custom sports guard?

They’re made using your dental impressions which create a precise fit for your mouth. This creates comfort and protects against injury. By using a custom gum guard, you can prevent tooth loss and damage to the jaw.

How long will my custom sports guard last?

If your child uses a sports guard, they’ll have to replace it regularly while their teeth and jaw are still growing. For adults, you’ll only need to replace your sports guard when it looks worn. We recommend that you bring it with you when you have a regular dentist check-up. During your appointment, your dentist can assess its condition and whether it’s time for a new one.

Benefits of an orthodontic mouth guard

During sports, mouth guards can prevent damage to your braces, avoid dental injuries and stop your braces from causing cuts to your mouth.

Can I wear a sports guard with braces?

Yes, they can be worn with braces. They fit snugly around any wires and brackets without causing the risk of discomfort or damage.
