What are mouthguards and why are they important?
Mouthguards are protective devices worn over the teeth to help protect teeth, gums, lips and the jaw from injury. They are commonly used for sports protection and also for managing teeth grinding and clenching during sleep. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
At EasyCare Family Dental in East Brisbane, we provide custom mouthguards designed for comfort, fit, and reliable protection. Patients from East Brisbane, Kangaroo Point and nearby suburbs often choose dentist-made mouthguards for better fit, improved breathing, and long-term durability compared to over-the-counter options.
A properly fitted mouthguard helps reduce the risk of chipped teeth, soft tissue injuries, and jaw injuries during sport, while also protecting against enamel wear and jaw tension caused by grinding.
Custom mouthguards designed around your teeth, bite and lifestyle
A custom mouthguard is not just about comfort. Custom mouth guards are made by taking precise impressions of your teeth and are fabricated in a dental lab, resulting in a well fitted and properly fitted mouthguard that offers optimal protection. The process for a custom made mouthguard typically involves two appointments: the first appointment is for taking impressions using a digital scanner or traditional moulding material, and the second is for fitting the finished mouthguard.
Lab fabrication usually takes about 5 to 7 business days, during which the mouthguard is constructed in layers to provide varying levels of protection. At EasyCare Family Dental, we provide custom fitted appliances for sport and sleep so patients can reduce injury risk, minimise enamel wear, and feel more confident in daily life.
We see patients across East Brisbane, Kangaroo Point, Woolloongabba and Norman Park who want better protection than generic boil-and-bite or stock mouthguards. A professionally made mouthguard offers a more precise fit, better retention, improved speech and breathing comfort, and more reliable long-term value. At the fitting appointment, the mouthguard is checked for fit and comfort so you can breathe and speak comfortably while wearing it.

Who may benefit from a custom mouthguard

Sports mouthguards and night guards - what is the difference?
Sports mouthguards
A custom sports mouthguard is designed to absorb external impact and help protect the teeth, gums, lips, and jaw - including both the upper and lower teeth and the lower jaw - during sport. Custom sports mouthguards are carefully crafted to fit around the upper and lower teeth, providing comprehensive protection and stability for the lower jaw as well.
Impressions are taken to help ensure the mouthguard fits properly and offers a snug, comfortable fit. Ethylene vinyl acetate is commonly used in the fabrication of fitted mouthguards because of its durability, flexibility, and impact absorption. A fitted mouthguard must fit properly to support comfort and effective protection during sports.
- Custom fabricated for comfort and secure retention
- Available in suitable thicknesses based on activity level
- Better protection than stock and boil-and-bite options
- Suitable for kids, teens and adults
Night guards for teeth grinding
A custom night guard, also called an occlusal splint or bite guard, is designed to reduce the effects of grinding and clenching during sleep. It helps protect enamel, reduce strain on muscles and jaw joints, and support a more comfortable morning.
- Helps reduce wear, chipping and pressure on teeth
- May ease symptoms linked to bruxism and clenching
- Can help protect crowns, fillings and veneers from excess force
- Made for a slim, personalised fit
Why choose a custom mouthguard over store-bought options
Generic mouthguards can feel loose, bulky or difficult to wear. A custom fitted mouthguard is made from a digital scan or impression of your teeth, allowing for a more accurate fit and more dependable performance.
- Precise fit based on your actual mouth and bite
- Improved comfort for breathing, speaking and sleeping
- Superior protection with better impact absorption and more reliable protection
- Made from high-quality materials that provide the same level of durability and impact absorption as industry-leading options
- Durable materials designed for long-term use
- More cost-effective over time than frequent replacements
Signs you may need a mouthguard
- You play contact sport or high-impact sport regularly
- You have had a chipped tooth, broken tooth, fractured teeth, or soft tissue injury before
- You want to prevent broken teeth or fractured teeth from sports injuries
- You wake with tension headaches, jaw pain or facial tightness
- Your partner hears grinding or clenching at night
- You notice worn enamel, flattened edges or tooth sensitivity
- You have clicking, popping or tension around the jaw joints
- You want to protect existing dental work from excessive force
- You want a more secure alternative to a chemist mouthguard
- Regularly inspect your mouthguard for cracks or a loose fit, and replace it if necessary to help maintain protection
What to expect when getting a custom mouthguard
When you visit EasyCare Family Dental for a custom mouthguard, you can expect a straightforward and comfortable process. First, precise impressions or digital scans are taken to help ensure your mouthguard fits properly and provides optimal protection. This step supports both comfort and effectiveness, as a well-fitted mouthguard stays securely in place during sports or nighttime use.
Once the impressions or scans are complete, your mouthguard is fabricated from high-quality, durable materials tailored to your dental structure. At your next visit, the fit is checked and any necessary adjustments are made to support comfort and safety.
To maintain the effectiveness and hygiene of your custom mouthguard, clean it regularly, store it in a ventilated case, and bring it to your dental check-ups for inspection.

We assess your symptoms, dental history, bite, and goals to determine whether you need a sports mouthguard or a night guard for bruxism and clenching.
Digital scan or impression
We take a precise scan or impression to capture the shape of your teeth accurately. This helps create a comfortable fit without unnecessary bulk.

How long do mouthguards last?
Adult custom mouthguards often last between 1 and 5 years depending on wear, grinding severity and care. Children may need more frequent replacement as they grow.
Are night guards comfortable to sleep with?
Most patients adapt quickly because a custom night guard is made specifically to fit their teeth and bite more accurately than generic products.

Yes. Custom sports mouthguards are suitable for children and teenagers, including those involved in school and club sports. They can be remade as the mouth develops.

Fees can vary depending on the type of appliance, materials used and case complexity. Many private health funds may contribute under general or extras dental cover.

How to care for your custom mouthguard
Proper care helps your custom mouthguard remain effective, hygienic, and comfortable to wear. Whether you use a sports mouthguard for physical activity or a night guard for teeth grinding, regular maintenance helps preserve fit, comfort, and long-term protection for your teeth, gums, and jaw.
At EasyCare Family Dental in East Brisbane, we recommend checking your mouthguard regularly and bringing it to your dental appointments so we can review wear, fit, and ongoing performance. This is especially important for patients using their appliance often for contact sport, high-impact activity, bruxism, or jaw protection.
- Rinse your mouthguard with cool water after each use
- Gently brush it with a soft toothbrush to remove debris
- Allow it to air dry completely before storing
- Store it in a ventilated case to help reduce bacterial growth and damage
- Avoid hot water or direct sunlight, as heat can warp the material and affect fit
- Bring it to your dental check-ups so the fit and condition can be assessed over time
A well-maintained mouthguard plays an important role in helping reduce dental trauma, soft tissue injury, worn enamel, and jaw strain. For patients in East Brisbane and nearby suburbs, ongoing care is just as important as the initial fit.
When to replace your mouthguard
Signs it may need replacing
- Visible cracks, tears, thinning, or distortion
- A loose fit or reduced retention
- Changes in comfort during sport or sleep
- Wear that affects protection for teeth, gums, lips, or jaw
Typical replacement timing
- Children and teenagers may need more frequent replacement as their teeth and jaws develop
- Adults often replace a mouthguard every 1 to 5 years depending on wear and care
- Heavy grinders and frequent sports users may need earlier review or replacement
Football, rugby, basketball, boxing, martial arts, and other contact or high-impact activities can place teeth and jaw structures at greater risk.
A properly fitted sports mouthguard helps absorb impact and supports jaw protection during physical activity, while a night guard helps reduce force from clenching and grinding.
Patients in East Brisbane, Kangaroo Point, Woolloongabba, and Norman Park can have their mouthguard checked during routine visits to help maintain fit and function.
