Custom Sports Mouthguards East Brisbane
Custom fitted sports mouthguards designed to help protect teeth, gums and surrounding oral structures during contact or high-impact sport for children, teens and adults.
Compared with generic chemist mouthguards, custom dental mouthguards generally provide improved comfort, retention, breathing support and fit during physical activity.
What Is A Custom Sports Mouthguard?
A custom sports mouthguard is a professionally fitted appliance designed to help reduce the risk of dental injuries during sport and recreational activity. It is individually made to fit the teeth and gums more precisely than standard over-the-counter options.
Sports mouthguards may help reduce the risk of chipped teeth, fractured teeth, soft tissue injuries and impact-related trauma during contact or high-speed activities.
Who May Benefit From A Sports Mouthguard?
Children and teens
School sport and recreational activity commonly involve accidental falls, collisions and impact.
Football and rugby players
Contact sports may increase the risk of dental injury and facial trauma.
Basketball and martial arts
Elbow contact, falls and sudden impact can affect the teeth and soft tissues.
Patients with braces
Custom mouthguards may help provide additional protection around orthodontic brackets and wires.
Adults involved in sport
Protective mouthguards are suitable for both competitive and recreational athletes.
High-impact activity
Cycling, scooters and skating may also involve risk of dental injury after falls.
Why Custom Mouthguards Matter
Custom fitted sports mouthguards are designed around the shape of your teeth and bite, helping improve comfort and stability during sport.
