Stay active and safeguard your smile comfortably with custom mouthguards.
Who Should Use a Custom Mouthguard?
Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or simply enjoy playing sports for fun, protecting your smile is essential. At The Smile Centre, we recommend custom-made mouthguards for anyone participating in high-impact or contact sports. Unlike generic store-bought options, a professionally fitted mouthguard is designed to comfortably fit your mouth while offering superior protection for your teeth, lips, tongue, and jaw.
A custom mouthguard can significantly reduce the risk of serious dental injuries, helping you stay safe while doing what you love. It’s a small investment that can make a big difference — especially for growing kids and teens who are active in school sports or recreational activities. Our team is here to create a mouthguard tailored to your needs, ensuring comfort, durability, and peace of mind on and off the field.
How Do Custom Mouthguards Work?
Custom mouthguards offer the highest level of safety and comfort for anyone involved in sports. Made using dental-grade, BPA-free materials, these mouthguards are created at a dental clinic under professional care.
To ensure the perfect fit, your dentist will take a precise mould of your teeth and craft a mouthguard tailored specifically to your mouth. This custom fit means it stays securely in place during activity and feels comfortable the entire time you’re wearing it.
Simply wear your mouthguard as part of your regular sports gear before the game or training begins, then take it out afterwards and clean it using mild soap and water. It’s an easy and effective way to protect your smile while staying active.
