Mouthguards

If you participate in any type of contacts sports, dentists recommend wearing a mouthguard as it plays a vital role in tooth injury prevention. A step up from a standard over the counter mouthguard is a custom mouthguard. A well fitted mouth guard helps in absorbing the shock experienced by a blow to the face, which might otherwise result in an injury to the mouth or jaw.

Bonus fact: you can actually breathe and talk without it feeling like you have a giant bulky thing in there!

Why are custom mouth guards important?

Research from a 2019 study showed that people are 60 times more likely to suffer harm to their teeth during sports when they don’t wear a mouth guard. Although wearing a standard mouthguard will help protect your teeth, not all mouthguards are made the same and the majority of mouthguards you can buy over the counter are not large enough to cover all teeth and allow for maximum protection. Custom mouthguards play a vital role in reducing the risk of jaw fractures and concussions, which can occur due to the force of impact in contact sports.

How are custom mouth guards made?

  • We will take an impression of your teeth and create a plaster model of their mouth.
  • You choose the colour and let us know any design you’d like
  • We’ll start by moulding your choice of colour laminate, cut and smooth it
  • Add any designs you chose
  • Mould a clear laminate layer to lock the deisgn in and adds extra durability. Cut and smooth again and make sure it’s looking bomb
  • Then of course we can’t forget your custom mouthguard case! If you want we add you name to the case – no charge!
  • We pack it up with some mouth guard cleaner and instructions on how to look after your new best friend and that’s that!

Can I choose the colour?

Of course! The material we use to create your mouthguard comes in an array of colours and even some patterned or multi-coloured designs.

We can also create a variety of designs to put on your mouthguards such as team names, personal names, pictures etc
If you have an idea in mind bring it in, we will mock up a couple of different options, choose your final design and we will make it!
