Tailor-made for your teeth, custom mouthguards offer superior protection, comfort, and fit. Not just for professional athletes, this type of dental appliance is affordable and accessible, providing the best defence for everyone playing contact sports.

Custom-fitted athletic appliances help protect you from:

What Does the Process Involve?

When you book an appointment for a custom athletic mouthguard at Bluewater Dental, we’ll begin by taking a precise impression of your teeth. This ensures the perfect fit and protection tailored to the type of sport you play. Plus, you can personalise it by choosing a colour that matches your team’s uniform!

In about a week, your appliance will be ready to pick up. We’ll check that it fits comfortably, walk you through proper care and storage, and answer any questions you might have to help you get the most out of your new gear.

Caring for Your Mouthguard

To make sure your sports mouthguard provides effective protection and lasts longer, here are some care tips to follow:

  • Clean Regularly: Rinse with cool water after each use, brush with a toothbrush and toothpaste, and occasionally soak it in mouthguard cleaner or mouthwash. Always air dry completely before storing it.
  • Store Properly: Keep it in a ventilated case and avoid extreme heat to prevent warping.
  • Replace Periodically: Over time, mouthguards wear down. Look for signs of damage and replace as necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a sports mouthguard for sleeping?

We don’t recommend it. Sports mouthguards are designed for impact protection and may not provide the comfort or durability needed for nighttime use.

How does a sports mouthguard differ from a night guard?

Sports mouthguards are thicker and sturdier to absorb impact, while night guards are thinner and designed to prevent teeth grinding.

Can I wear a sports mouthguard with braces?

Yes, but it’s important to consult with your dentist to ensure you get the right fit and protection.

Which type of sports mouthguard is the most effective?

We believe custom-made appliances are the most effective due to their precise fit and superior protection.
