Teeth are one of the most precious assets you will ever have. As such, the Australian Dental Association (ADA) strongly recommends custom made mouthguards for anyone, young or old, that plays any type of ball or contact sports. Without the protection of a mouthguard, the impact from a strike to the mouth can cause broken or lost teeth – resulting in pain, discomfort and costly dental treatment.
Although you can purchase mouthguards from many retail outlets, they are often not as protective as a custom made guard – which is made specifically to suit your mouth. For maximum protection, ideally mouthguards need to be at least 2mm thick for proper protection, a requirement that most products available from Pharmacies and other retailers do not meet. Mouthguards purchased direct from retailers also require you to create your own mouthguard mould, and without the professional knowledge of the mouth’s structure, you run the risk of not shaping the mouthguard correctly, therefore not sufficiently protecting your teeth.
We have a wide range of mouthguard colours available for you to choose from, and you can even select your sports team colours by combining up to three colours!
