Protect Your Smile with a Mouthguard That Actually Fits
What Are Custom Mouthguards?
Unlike bulky store-bought options, our custom mouthguards are made using precise dental impressions for a secure, comfortable fit that stays in place when it matters most.
- Secure Fit – Designed to match your bite for better protection and comfort.
- Durable Material – Built to withstand pressure and repeated use.
- Easy to Speak & Breathe – Custom design allows you to stay focused on your game, not your mouthguard.
Protecting your teeth now can help you avoid costly and painful dental injuries later.
Why Store-Bought Mouthguards Fall Short
While convenient, off-the-shelf mouthguards often offer limited protection and can be uncomfortable or distracting during activity.
- Imprecise Fit – May shift during use and fail to protect vulnerable areas.
- Harder to Breathe or Talk – Generic shapes can obstruct airflow or make communication difficult.
- Less Effective Protection – Poor fit can reduce shock absorption and leave areas exposed.
- Low Durability – Materials may wear out quickly, especially for athletes who play regularly.
A custom mouthguard offers better safety, better comfort, and better value over time.
Benefits of a Custom Mouthguard
A properly fitted mouthguard doesn’t just protect your teeth—it can also reduce the risk of jaw injuries and soft tissue damage.
- Helps Prevent Tooth Fractures – Reduces impact from falls, collisions, and contact.
- Protects Dental Work – Shields crowns, braces, and other restorations from damage.
- Reduces Jaw Trauma – Helps absorb shock to minimize risk of TMJ issues or dislocations.
- Can Reduce Concussion Risk – Some evidence suggests better protection of the jaw may reduce concussion severity.
If you or your child plays sports, a custom mouthguard is one of the best pieces of equipment you can own.
Who Should Wear a Mouthguard?
Mouthguards are beneficial for people of all ages and activity levels—especially those involved in sports or high-impact activities.
- Student athletes and children in school sports
- Adults in recreational or competitive leagues
- People wearing braces or other dental appliances
- Anyone participating in martial arts, biking, or skating
We also offer nightguards to prevent teeth grinding—ask our team if this might apply to you.
