How often should I replace my custom mouthguard?

The lifespan of a custom mouthguard varies depending on factors such as growth, frequency of use, the type of sport and general wear. Children and teenagers may require replacement more frequently as they grow. If your mouthguard becomes damaged, loose or no longer fits correctly, it should be assessed by your Dental Prosthetist. Regular reviews can help determine when replacement is appropriate.

Can I wear a custom mouthguard if I have braces or other orthodontic appliances?

Yes, custom mouthguards can be designed to accommodate braces and other orthodontic appliances. It's crucial to inform your dental prosthetist of your orthodontic treatment during the initial consultation so that a mouthguard can be fabricated to fit comfortably around your orthodontic appliance while providing appropriate protection during sport.

How do I clean and care for my custom mouthguard?

To maintain the durability and hygiene of your custom mouthguard, it's essential to clean it after each use. Rinse the mouthguard with cold water or a mouth rinse, and use a soft toothbrush with mild soap to gently clean it. Avoid using hot water, as it may cause the mouthguard to warp. Store your mouthguard in a clean, well-ventilated case to help reduce moisture and keep it clean between uses. Regularly inspect your mouthguard for signs of wear or damage and bring it with you to dental check-ups to ensure proper fit and function.
