What is a Mouthguard?

A mouth guard is a rubber shield that fits snugly over the upper teeth and gums. It is designed to cushion the impact from a blow, offering the teeth protection.

Custom made Mouth Guards

Your Dentist will take an accurate impression of your mouth and teeth. The impression is then sent to a Dental Technician who will make the mouth guard to fit you exactly.

Preformed Mouth Guards

A preformed mouth guard is a plastic mould which when heated (by placing it in hot water) will set into the shape of your mouth and teeth.

 

Preformed mouth guards can be purchased from most sports retailers.

 

Preformed mouth guards tend to offer less protection than custom made mouth guards, however they are still better than no protection at all.
