Mouthguards in Kensington

Protect your jaw and teeth

Custom mouthguards are a good option for those looking to protect their teeth, and can be used for sports or other applications such as for protection during sleep against teeth grinding.

A well-fitted, custom made mouthguard can protect your teeth and jaw by limiting the impact from contact and reducing the risk of damage to your teeth. Without one, sportspeople run the risk of damaging, chipping, breaking, or even knocking out their teeth, which can be a painful and costly problem to fix.

What is a custom mouthguard?

A custom mouth guard is a thick piece of plastic that sits snugly around your teeth, protecting them from damage.

There are mouthguards that you can buy ‘off the shelf’ at pharmacies and sports stores. However, these are not made specifically for your teeth and are, therefore, usually not a very good fit. While they will offer more protection than nothing, they are not the gold standard when it comes to mouthguards.

Similarly, boil-and-bite mouthguards are available to buy over the counter. For these, you would boil the pre-made mouthguard in water to soften the plastic, then bite into it. This is a step up from one-size-fits-all mouthguards, but is not as fitted or protective as custom mouthguards.

The gold standard in mouthguards are custom made by a dentist or dental professional.

The advantages of a custom-fitted mouthguard

Custom mouthguards are extremely useful for keeping your teeth and gums in good condition, even when playing contact sports.

Minimises and avoids damage: Custom-made mouthguards are the gold standard in minimising and avoiding damage from sports-related injuries, as their tight fit ensures teeth have a good layer of protection and that they can’t move during an impact.
Comfortable wear: When a mouthguard is made specifically for your mouth, it is more comfortable to wear, and makes it easier to breathe than a non-custom mouthguard.
Avoids costly, painful repairs: From chipped and broken teeth to knocked out teeth that require emergency dental treatment, a custom mouthguard can help to avoid the pain and trauma as well as the cost of getting these issues fixed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: How much do custom mouthguards cost?
Answer: Custom mouthguards usually cost between $200 and $350, and are typically tailored for a more comfortable fit and better protection. If you have dental extras, many health funds will cover the cost of a custom-fitted mouthguard. Check with your health fund provider to see what you are covered for.

Question: Can I sleep with a sports mouthguard?
Answer: No, it is not a good idea to sleep with your sports mouthguard in. If you need a mouthguard to help with bruxism (clenching or grinding in your sleep), you must use a mouthguard specifically made for this issue.

Question: Does a mouthguard help with clenching?
Answer: Technically speaking, a mouthguard will not stop you from clenching your teeth. However, it will protect your teeth from wearing down due to clenching or teeth grinding.
