Protect Your Smile – Why a Custom Mouthguard Matters
Whether you play rugby, hockey, martial arts or mountain biking, a well-fitted mouthguard is essential for protecting your teeth. Off-the-shelf mouthguards often don’t fit properly, offering limited protection. A custom-made mouthguard spreads the force of impacts, reducing the risk of dental injuries, jaw fractures and even concussion.

Why is a mouthguard important for sport?
A custom-made mouthguard protects your teeth, gums and jaw from impacts during sport. It also reduces the risk of serious injuries like jaw fractures and even helps lower the risk of concussion by absorbing and spreading impact forces.
Are shop-bought mouthguards good enough?
No. The British Dental Association advises against shop-bought mouthguards because they often don’t fit properly. Poor fit means less protection – and a higher risk of injury. Custom mouthguards offer superior fit, comfort and protection.
How common are sports-related dental injuries?
Dental injuries are surprisingly common. 30% of 16-year-olds have suffered dental injuries causing permanent damage – and 20% of those injuries happened during organised sport.
