Why Custom Mouthguards

Protection that
fits perfectly

Store-bought mouthguards are generic and often uncomfortable, leading athletes to leave them out when they need protection most. Custom mouthguards are made from impressions of your teeth, ensuring a secure, comfortable fit.

A properly fitted mouthguard protects against chipped or broken teeth, tooth loss, soft tissue injuries, and even jaw fractures. It can also help reduce the risk of concussions.

Whether you play football, basketball, hockey, soccer, or any contact sport, a custom mouthguard is an investment in your safety and your smile.

Types of Mouthguards

Custom vs. store-bought

Understanding the differences helps you make the best choice.

Stock Mouthguards

Pre-formed and ready to wear. Inexpensive but bulky, uncomfortable, and offer minimal protection. Often interfere with breathing and speaking.

Boil-and-Bite

Softened in hot water and molded to teeth. Better fit than stock but still not ideal. Can be bulky and lose shape over time.

Recommended

Custom-Fitted

Made from precise impressions of your teeth by a dental professional. Superior fit, comfort, and protection. Allows easy breathing and speaking.
