Mouth Guards
A custom-fitted mouthguard protects your teeth during contact sport, far better than an off-the-shelf one.
Why custom beats generic
A boil-and-bite mouthguard from a sports store is better than nothing, but it rarely fits well, which means it can slip during play — right when you need it most. A custom guard is moulded from an impression of your own teeth, so it stays put and doesn't interfere with breathing or talking.
How long does a custom mouthguard last?
Usually a season or two for growing kids, longer for adults — bring it in for a check if it starts feeling loose.
Which sports need one?
Any contact or collision sport — football codes, hockey, boxing and martial arts are the obvious ones, but it's worth it for basketball and netball too.
