Footy mouthguards for kids and teens in East Brisbane
Getting ready for the season? Book a dentist-fitted sports mouthguard for your child before the first game. We check their teeth, bite and stage of growth, then arrange a guard designed for their mouth and sport.
We confirm the process, likely timing and fee before fabrication.

Made for the player
Protection they are more likely to wear
Footy, rugby and other sports involving contact or falls can lead to chipped, displaced or knocked-out teeth. A fitted mouthguard may reduce the risk and severity of some injuries. No appliance can prevent every injury.
A fit that stays put
We take a scan or impression and check the finished guard for comfort and retention. A loose guard is easy to leave on the sideline.
Growing mouths
Teeth and jaws change through childhood and adolescence. We advise when the mouthguard should be reviewed and whether a replacement is needed as your child grows.
Braces and dental work
Orthodontic brackets, tooth movement and recent fillings can affect the design and fit. Tell us what has changed so we can assess the right approach.
What to expect
A straightforward fitting process
At the first visit, we ask about the sport, examine the teeth and bite, and take a digital scan or impression when appropriate. The guard is then made to the dentist's instructions. At the fitting visit, we check how it sits, answer your child's questions, and explain cleaning and storage.
If your child already has a guard that feels loose, worn or uncomfortable, bring it along. We can assess its fit rather than guessing whether it is still suitable.
Need a guard for an adult or a different activity? Our custom dental mouthguard service explains the wider options. A night guard for grinding serves a different purpose.
