Sports Mouthguards
Mouth injuries during contact sports are a huge problem for children today, but they don't need to be.
Why to Choose A Custom Mouthguard
The old-fashioned "boil and bite" mouthguards do not provide customised and uniform protection for the entire mouth. Additionally, boil and bite mouthguards may interfere with breathing and sports performance. Custom mouthguards are designed for a more effective fit and function, especially when it comes to winning the big game.
Your North Brisbane Dentist for Sports Mouthguards
Only your dentist or prosthetist can make custom-fit mouthguards, which are the gold standard in mouth protection. Making custom sports mouthguards at North Brisbane Dental Clinic is quick and easy.
Because we believe this protection is so essential for all children, our team has decided to offer significant discounts on our sports mouthguards. In fact, both kids and adults should use a proper mouthguard for all contact sports.
Express Yourself with Your Smile!
Your smile is part of your personal expression, and your mouthguard can do the same! So check out our available colours during your next visit. Why not have a little fun with colour combos? You can match them to your favourite sports team colours or just express your personal preferences.
How Long Does It Take to Get A Custom Sports Guard?
Thanks to our in-house laboratory, the process of getting a custom mouthguard is simple and easy. We start with a five-minute appointment and take a digital 3-D scan of your teeth – no more gross goo in your mouth. Then we'll have your mouthguard ready to pick up within one week. Finally, we test the fit and function before sending you off to win the next big match!
How Does A Sports Mouthguard Work?
A sports guard fits over your upper teeth with a design that absorbs much of the impact from a facial sports injury. Because we design your custom mouthguard just for you, the fit may change as your child loses their primary teeth or their permanent teeth emerge.
We can discuss how to use your sports guard best and when to wear it for the ideal results.
Can I Wear A Custom Sports Mouthguard with Braces?
Absolutely! Your mouthguard will protect your delicate mouth tissues from your brackets and wires in case you experience a sudden impact. Your mouthguard can also preserve your orthodontic treatment hardware, doubling your protection.
