Protection
Custom sports mouthguards in Strathfield
Custom-fitted mouthguards made from an impression of your own teeth, for sport and for protection against grinding.
Overview
About custom sports mouthguards
Mouthguards cover the teeth to protect them from injury during sport and from the effects of grinding. Our custom-fitted mouthguards are made from an impression of your own teeth, so they fit closely, stay in place and are comfortable enough to wear for a whole game.
Custom guards offer far better protection and comfort than boil-and-bite products from the chemist, which are bulky and can dislodge on impact.

Questions
Common questions about custom sports mouthguards
Why is a custom mouthguard better than a boil-and-bite one?
A custom guard is made from an impression of your teeth, so it fits precisely, stays in place on impact and is thinner and more comfortable. Boil-and-bite guards are bulky, fit loosely and can dislodge when you need them most.
Do you make mouthguards for children?
Yes. Children who play contact sports benefit most from a well-fitting guard. Because their teeth are still changing, the fit should be checked each season.
Can a mouthguard help with teeth grinding?
A protective guard can help shield teeth from wear caused by grinding. We can discuss whether a night guard is suitable at your consultation.
How do I look after my mouthguard?
Rinse it after use, clean it with a soft brush and cool water, and store it in a ventilated case away from heat.
