How does a custom mouthguard compare to a boil-and-bite version?

Custom mouthguards offer superior protection and a precise fit compared to bulky over-the-counter versions. They provide better shock absorption and allow for easier breathing and speaking without the need to clench your teeth to keep the guard in place.

How do I take care of my mouthguard?

Rinse your mouthguard after every use and clean it gently with a toothbrush and mild toothpaste. Always allow it to air dry before storing it in its case, and keep it away from direct sunlight and high heat to prevent warping.

How often should I replace my mouthguard?

Adults should have their mouthguard inspected at regular check-ups for wear or thinning. For children and teenagers, we recommend a replacement every new sports season to accommodate their growing mouths and changing bites.

Why choose a custom-fit mouthguard?

Just a single impact in AFL or rugby can fracture or knock out your tooth, but this is entirely preventable with a custom-fit mouthguard.

Made from a precise impression of your mouth to ensure a secure and comfortable fit, a custom mouthguard offers a level of safety that generic, over-the-counter options cannot match.

By spreading the force of an impact across your entire dental arch, a custom mouthguard provides the effective shock absorption needed to prevent localised damage to your teeth.

Investing in a custom-fit mouthguard from our West End and Ascot dental clinics gives you the best protection on the field.

How we create your custom-fit mouthguard.

At le tooth, creating a custom-fit mouthguard is a straightforward, comfortable process.

Our Brisbane dentists start by taking a precise 3D digital scan of your teeth. This ensures your mouthguard will stay securely in place during sports without any manual adjustment.

You can personalise your custom mouthguard by choosing from a wide range of colours, in single, double or triple stripe designs. Many of our patients like to match their mouthguard with to their team colours, so they look as good as they protect.

Once your custom-fit mouthguards have been crafted, our dentists in West End and Ascot will perform a final fit check to make sure you are ready for your next game.
