It’s easy to remember knee pads, helmets, and the right shoes, but don’t forget to protect your teeth! Custom sports mouth guards are an important piece of equipment intended to protect your teeth while playing hands-on sports like football, lacrosse, and MMA.
There’s grave risk of dental injuries when playing heavy contact sports. In fact, according to the American Dental Association, athletes who wear a mouth guard while playing sports are 60% less likely to experience teeth injuries compared to players who go without a mouth guard.

Contact UsA custom sports mouth guard is a mouth guard that has been custom made to fit your unique bite — perfectly! A well-made mouth guard offers protection to your upper teeth, as well as the surrounding gums and tissues. It’s a valuable investment that could prevent an emergency dental visit due to a broken tooth, gum injury, or other oral damages.
Standard mouthguards are a one-size-fits-all option. Since everyone’s mouth is a different shape and size, these guards are often uncomfortable and don’t provide the greatest protection.
Boil & bite mouth guards can be purchased online or in-store and are DIY, allowing you to make your own mouth guard at home by boiling the plastic guard and then molding it to fit your mouth. While this is typically a better option than a standard mouthguard, it still fails to offer the same level of comfort or protection as a custom sports mouthguard.
A custom sports mouth guard is the most recommended option for sports players at all levels. They are custom made by a dentist to provide the most seamless and comfortable fit, along with the greatest level of protection. They usually come at a higher cost, but you truly get what you pay for. Custom mouth guards offer the most effective option for preventing injuries while keeping you comfortable, so you can focus on playing your favourite sport.

A custom sports mouth guard will protect not only your mouth from your braces, but will also protect your braces and teeth from any external impact.
