What is a Sports Mouthguard?

A sports mouthguard is a custom-fitted dental appliance worn over the upper teeth during physical activity to help absorb shock and prevent injury. Unlike generic "boil-and-bite" options, a professionally made mouthguard is designed specifically for your mouth, offering superior comfort, fit, and protection.

Why Mouthguards matter

Every year, thousands of dental injuries occur during sport — most of which could be prevented with a properly fitted mouthguard.

Without a mouthguard, athletes are at risk of:

Chipped or broken teeth.
Knocked-out teeth.
Cut lips, cheeks, or tongue.
Jaw fractures or dislocations.
Concussions or head trauma (in some cases)

Benefits of a Custom Mouthguard

Tailored fit: Comfortable, secure, and allows for easy breathing and speaking.
Better protection: Designed to absorb and distribute force evenly across teeth and jaw.
Durable: Made with high-quality materials that last longer than store-bought versions.
Increased compliance: Because they’re comfortable, athletes are more likely to wear them consistently.
Customised look: Choose colours to match your team or personal style.

Who should wear a Sports Mouthguard?

Mouthguards are essential for:

Children and teens in school sports.
Adults in recreational or competitive sports.
Anyone playing contact sports like rugby, AFL, basketball, hockey,
martial arts, boxing, or BMX.
Anyone wearing braces or with dental work that needs extra protection

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What sports require a mouthguard?

Any sport that involves physical contact or risk of falls should include a mouthguard. This includes rugby, AFL, soccer, hockey, basketball, netball, boxing, martial arts, skateboarding, BMX, and more.

2. What’s the difference between a custom mouthguard and one from the chemist?

Store-bought options are often bulky, poorly fitting, and less protective. A custom mouthguard is made specifically for your teeth, offering far better comfort, stability, and protection.

3. Can my child wear a mouthguard with braces?

Yes. In fact, it’s especially important to protect braces during sport. We can create a specially designed mouthguard that fits comfortably over braces and adapts as teeth move.

4. How long does a sports mouthguard last?

For adults, a custom mouthguard can last 1–2 years or more with proper care. For children and teens, more frequent replacement may be needed as their teeth and jaws grow.
