What Are Sport Guards?

Sport guards (also called athletic mouthguards) are custom-made appliances worn over the teeth during sports to prevent dental injuries. Whether you’re on the field, court, or rink, a properly fitted sports guard cushions blows to the face and mouth, helping to avoid chipped or broken teeth, jaw injuries, and even concussions.

Benefits of Custom Sport Guards

Custom-fitted sport guards provide significantly better protection and comfort than store-bought versions. Benefits include:

Protects Teeth & Gums: Shields teeth from trauma caused by collisions or falls.
Reduces Risk of Concussion: Helps absorb impact to the jaw, which may lower the risk of concussion.
Custom Fit for Comfort: Designed to fit your mouth perfectly for easy breathing, speaking, and long-term wear.
Durable & Long-Lasting: Made with high-quality materials that can withstand repeated use and intense play.

Who Should Wear a Sport Guard?

Sport guards are recommended for anyone participating in:

Contact sports like football, hockey, boxing, and wrestling
High-impact activities like basketball, soccer, or martial arts
Recreational activities with fall risk, like skateboarding, skiing, or mountain biking

Both children and adults benefit from wearing a custom sport guard to avoid costly dental injuries.

FAQs About Sports Guards

How long will my sport guard last?

With proper care, sport guards typically last one sports season or longer. Growth changes in children may require more frequent replacements.

Can I wear a sport guard if I have braces?

Yes! We can customize a guard that fits comfortably over braces and still provides full protection.

How do I care for my sportsguard?

Rinse it with cool water after each use, brush it gently with a toothbrush and mild soap, and store it in its protective case. Avoid hot water or leaving it in the sun.

Are custom sport guards better than store-bought ones?

Absolutely. Store-bought guards are often bulky and ill-fitting. Custom guards are more protective, comfortable, and allow for easier breathing and speaking.

Can I choose the color or style of my guard?

Yes! Many custom guards come in various colors or can be personalized to match your team colors or preferences.
