Mouthguards 

What is a mouthguard?

The most important piece of sporting equipment you can get!

A mouthguard is a removable device that is worn to protect your teeth whilst playing sports. Both professional and amateur athletes are advised to wear a mouthguard when playing and practicing sport to reduce the risk of breaking teeth on impact and to help avoid concussions.

Is a chemist mouthguard OK?

Our mouthguards are custom made from a mold of your teeth and offer far more protection than mouthguards from the chemist, as the fit is precise & personalised. This custom fit is what provides the ultimate protection for you / your children’s teeth. 

What if my child’s teeth are still developing? 

If your child is losing baby teeth and developing adult teeth, we sometimes recommend using a re-moldable chemist mouthguard to compensate for the constantly changing dentition. A custom mouthguard will lose its precise fit with the loss/gain of teeth and becomes too costly to replace every few months. 

When would I need a mouthguard?

Mouthguards are highly recommended for contact or physical sports such as:

  • Basketball
