Sports Mouthguards

What Sort of Sports Mouthguard Should I Wear?

There are many types of mouthguards available in Australia, ranging from cheap, over-the-counter products to professionally custom fitted mouthguards.

Over-the-counter mouthguards provide inadequate protection and the significant cost associated with a dental injury means investing in a custom fitted mouthguard is worthwhile.

Custom-fitted Mouthguards

Custom-fitted mouthguards are made by a dental prosthetist, who takes an impression and creates a plaster model of your teeth. Custom fitting allows the dental prosthetist to accurately assess your mouth and provide the best fitting mouthguard that is most appropriate for your sport.

The benefits of a custom-fitted mouthguard are:

• Comfortable to wear
• Tight-fitting for maximum protection
• Allows you to speak clearly
• Provides maximum resistance against being dislodged
• Won't restrict breathing.
