Who should wear a sports mouthguard?

A custom mouthguard may be appropriate for children, teenagers and adults participating at any skill level in sports where contact, collision or falls can occur.

You may wish to discuss

  • Rugby league, rugby union, AFL and football
  • Basketball, soccer and hockey
  • Martial arts and combat sports
  • Training and competition where accidental contact may occur
  • Children and teenagers whose teeth and jaws are still developing
  • Patients with braces or other orthodontic appliances who need specific planning

Custom or store-bought?

A custom mouthguard is made from a scan or impression of the wearer’s teeth and bite. The material and design are selected around age, sport, dental development and expected contact.

  • Protection — helps reduce the risk and severity of broken or displaced teeth, lip and cheek lacerations and other oral injuries
  • Secure fit — designed to stay in place during vigorous activity
  • Comfort — individually fitted to support breathing and speaking
  • Improved performance — a comfortable, stable fit can help the athlete focus on training and play
  • Durability — professionally fabricated from sport-appropriate material
  • Confidence — reassurance that the teeth, gums, jaw and soft tissues are better protected

Personalised care

Protection made for the individual athlete.

A custom mouthguard is designed from the wearer’s teeth and bite. Generic guards are not individually planned for fit, dental development, braces or the demands of a particular sport.

Your fitting and collection appointments

We assess the wearer’s sport, age, teeth, bite and any orthodontic appliances before taking a scan or impression. The mouthguard is then professionally fabricated and checked at a fitting appointment.

  • Assessment — discuss the sport, contact level, dental development and appliance needs
  • Scan or impression — record the teeth and bite for an accurate custom fit
  • Fabrication — create the mouthguard using appropriate protective material
  • Fitting — check retention, comfort, edge position, speech and breathing
  • Care advice — explain cleaning, storage and when replacement may be required

Trusted professional fabrication

Our mouthguards are crafted by a highly skilled and qualified Dental Prosthetist and Registered Dental Technician. Some of his valued clients include the Canterbury Bulldogs, Wests Tigers, Melbourne Storm and Parramatta Eels.

Children, teenagers and orthodontic patients may need more frequent fit reviews or replacement as teeth move, adult teeth erupt or the mouth grows.

Common questions

Questions about custom sports mouthguards.

Clear information is part of good care. These answers are a starting point for your conversation.

Who should wear a sports mouthguard?

Children, teenagers and adults participating in contact, collision or fall-risk sports may benefit from a properly fitted mouthguard during both training and competition.

Why choose a custom mouthguard instead of a store-bought one?

A custom mouthguard is made from a scan or impression of your teeth and adjusted for secure retention, comfort, breathing and speech. Generic guards are not individually planned for your teeth, bite or sport.

Can a custom mouthguard be made for someone with braces?

Yes, braces-compatible mouthguards can be planned around orthodontic appliances and expected tooth movement. Fit should be reviewed regularly while treatment continues.

What happens at the fitting appointments?

We first assess the sport, teeth, bite and any orthodontic appliances and take a scan or impression. At collection, we check retention, comfort, edges, breathing and speech and explain care.

When should a sports mouthguard be replaced?

Replacement may be required when the guard becomes damaged, worn, loose or uncomfortable, or when teeth move or the mouth grows. Children and orthodontic patients often need more frequent reviews.

How much does a custom sports mouthguard cost?

Fees depend on the mouthguard and individual requirements. Our team can explain the current cost and expected fabrication time before booking.
