Custom Made Sports Mouth Guards

Protecting your teeth or your child’s teeth when playing sports should be one of your top priorities. Prevention is always the best strategy. That’s why it is ideal to act early, whether you’re looking to book a general dental procedure or get a sports mouth guard fitted adequately. It’s better to have a custom-made sports mouth guard moulded to your unique bite pattern than to risk injury and learn the hard way.

Losing a tooth is a preventable and altogether undesirable situation. Not only is it painful, but it can also be quite expensive to fix a broken or loose tooth — that’s why a properly fitted custom-made sports mouth guard is a cost-effective preventative measure.

At About Smiles, we offer dentist-made mouth guards that are individually moulded to fit your mouth. This is achieved by making a precise teeth model, ensuring a proper, protective fit. The result is a sports mouth guard that protects your smile and is also comfortable, and, most importantly, allows you to breathe unhindered.

The best sports mouth guards are designed to perfectly fit your mouth, ensuring that several preventable problems do not occur. About Smiles offers dentist-made mouth guards moulded by our experienced dentists. Here are several reasons why this is crucial:

• The best sports mouth guards provide a custom fit — They will give you a more comfortable result, designed to the shape and fit of your mouth.
• Custom mouth guards are created for comfort — They’re specifically designed not to restrict breathing during exercise.
• Designed for practical use — The snug fit means better retention, so it won’t fall out during physical activities.
• Made from quality materials — The materials used in our dentist mouth guards are odourless and tasteless.
• Designed for efficient performance — The result will be tear-resistant and impact-resistant without being too bulky.
• Made with comfort in mind — Soft material on the inside protects teeth and feels comfy to the user.

If you’ve invested in braces, teeth alignment, fillings, whitening or other cosmetic treatments for your or your child’s teeth, you will want to protect your investment.

Not only can knocks and hits during sports lead to lost or broken teeth, but they can damage re-alignment treatments you’ve received, affecting your bite and jaw position, which have been carefully corrected over time. With a dentist-made mouth guard, you can rest easy, knowing that your beautiful smile is protected in the best way possible.

Because children’s teeth and jaw posture are still developing, protecting them during contact sports or other physical activities is especially important. At About Smiles, we cater to the specific needs of every child by providing high-quality, custom-made sports mouth guards that provide consistent protection.

While you may think a store-bought off-the-shelf mouth guard is ‘good enough’ for kids, this simply isn’t the case. Without a snug, custom-moulded fit, a strong enough collision or fall can cause significant dental damage.

If your child is receiving orthodontic treatment like braces, a custom-made mouth guard will both cushion the metal and other elements from injuring the gums or mouth and ensure the effectiveness of the orthodontics isn’t compromised.

To properly protect your child’s teeth, we offer our dentist-made mouth guards for complete protection in various designs and colours that kids will love.

The best way to ensure your custom-made sports mouth guard’s hygiene is to take several preventative measures. You shouldn’t neglect the state of your mouth guard. To prevent having to purchase another one unnecessarily, ensure a few key things, including:

• Maintain consistent cleanliness — Rinse your sports mouth guard before and after use to avoid any food, water and porous materials from creating an unclean environment, damaging your sports mouth guard or affecting its effectiveness.
• Keep your mouth guard for sport in optimal condition — Clean it in cool, soapy water and rinse thoroughly after use.
• Always keep your storage solution with you — Store and transport it in a sturdy, vented container.
• Keep an eye on where you store your custom-made sports mouth guard — Never leave it in the sun or hot water, as this can cause the material to degrade.
• Routinely check on the state of your sports mouth guard — Always check it for wear or damage, and contact your dentist if you notice a problem.

If your existing sports mouth guard has failed to adequately protect you, remember that About Smiles specialises in emergency dental care. We’re dedicated to offering on-demand dental care whenever needed, so if you require emergency care, we can help you on a same-day basis. You can make after-hours appointments until 7 pm on Thursdays and 4 pm on Saturdays.

Even in the best conditions, your custom-made sports mouth guard can be overwhelmed — it may lessen the impact of a collision to a significant degree, but this may still require emergency care. If you are experiencing intense pain, don’t hesitate to call us and get the help you need.
