TREATMENTS

Custom-fitted mouthguards to shield teeth from grinding and sports injuries.

About the treatment

Mouth guards are protective devices designed to shield your teeth, gums, and jaw from damage. Whether for sports, teeth grinding, or sleep disorders, a custom-fitted mouth guard ensures maximum protection, comfort, and durability.

What Are Mouth Guards?

Mouth guards are flexible oral appliances worn over the teeth to protect against:

Sports-related injuries.

Teeth grinding (bruxism).

Jaw clenching and TMJ disorders.

Sleep apnea and snoring.

Custom-fitted mouth guards provide better protection and comfort than over-the-counter options.

Custom Made Mouth Gaurds

These provide the best possible protection for your smile. Our dentist will create your custom-fitted mouth guard from moulds (impressions) of your mouth, so you know it will fit comfortably and effectively

Types of Mouth-guards

Stock mouth guards: These come pre-formed and ready to wear and are available for purchase at sports shops and pharmacies. They are convenient and inexpensive, but you cannot adjust the fit well and for this reason they offer minimal protection.
Boil-and-bite mouth guards: This kind of mouth guard is made from thermoplastic material. You can place it in hot water to soften it, then put it in the mouth to shape it around the teeth for a more customised fit. These can be a challenge to get the plastic hot enough to mould without burning the mouth.
Custom-made mouth guards: These provide the best possible protection for your smile. Our dentist will create your custom-fitted mouth guard from moulds (impressions) of your mouth, so you know it will fit comfortably and effectively.
