Custom-fitted sports mouthguards


Custom-fitted mouth protectors are designed and made individually — moulded over a model of your own teeth rather than boiled into rough shape at home. That is what makes the difference in both comfort and protection.

Who needs one

Anyone in a contact sport: football, boxing, soccer, ice hockey, basketball, lacrosse and field hockey.

And plenty of people outside them. Gymnastics, skateboarding and mountain biking all carry a real risk of a knock to the mouth, and a guard is cheap next to repairing a front tooth.

How it is made

We take an impression of your teeth, and the guard is moulded over that model using a special material. It is the fit that gives you the comfort and the protection — a guard that does not sit properly tends not to get worn.

Not the same as a night guard

A sports guard absorbs a single hard impact. A night guard takes hours of steady grinding pressure, so it is built differently. If you grind or clench in your sleep, that is the appliance you want.

Call the front desk during office hours and we will find you a time for sports mouthguards.
