Mouthguards

There are many different types of mouthguards available. The Australian Dental Association (ADA) strongly recommends wearing a custom-fitted mouthguard to ensure maximum protection.

Why wear a mouthguard?
Mouthguards help to minimise the risk of injury to the face, teeth, jaw and head when involved in active or contact sports. Dental injuries can occur at any age. About one-third of these injuries occur during active recreation/leisure activities, such as cycling, skateboarding and riding a scooter, and during organised sports, including football, basketball, baseball, hockey and soccer. Mouthguards are recommended for anyone engaging in aggressive activities and when practising or competing in sports.

Custom-fitted mouthguards
Custom-fitted mouthguards provide a better fit than other varieties, as they are made to suit your individual needs and are custom to fit your mouth.

Made by our team and fitted by our dental prosthetist, who takes an impression and creates a plaster model of your teeth. Custom-fitting allows for our prosthetist to accurately assess your mouth and provide the best fitting mouthguard that is most appropriate for you.

Over-the-counter mouthguards do not provide enough protection against injuries to your teeth, mouth or jaw. Dental injuries can be very costly, so it is worthwhile investing in a custom-fitted mouthguard.

Teeth To You will ensure that your mouthguard fits well and is comfortable.

A custom mouthguard better protects your teeth, is more comfortable, and allows you to breathe properly regardless of which sport you play.
