Custom Mouth Guards

Protect your smile during sports with a custom-fitted mouth guard designed for maximum comfort and protection. Perfect for athletes of all ages, including those with braces.

Why Choose a Custom Mouth Guard?

If you or your child plays sports, a mouth guard is essential protection against dental injuries. While store-bought options are available, a custom mouth guard made by our office offers the best combination of comfort, fit, and protection.

Many sports leagues require mouth guards for participation, and for good reason. A properly fitted mouth guard can prevent chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth, as well as injuries to the lips, tongue, and jaw.

The Difference Custom Makes

Pre-formed, ready-to-wear mouth guards from sporting goods stores are inexpensive, but they often don't fit well. They can be uncomfortable, interfere with talking, and even make breathing difficult during play.

Semi-custom options that you heat and bite into offer some improvement, but they still can't match the precision of a professionally made guard.

Our custom mouth guards are created from an impression of your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit that stays securely in place during activity. You'll find it much easier to breathe, speak, and focus on your game.

Especially Important for Braces

If you wear braces, a custom mouth guard is particularly important. A generic guard won't accommodate your orthodontic appliances properly and could even cause injury if you take a hit. Our custom guards are designed to fit comfortably over braces while providing superior protection for both your teeth and your orthodontic work.

Keep Your Guard in Top Shape

Bring your mouth guard to your regular dental appointments so we can check that it still fits properly. As your mouth changes—especially for growing children and teens—your guard may need adjustment or replacement to maintain the best protection.

Common questions

How is a custom mouth guard different from one I can buy at a store?+

Custom mouth guards are made from an impression of your teeth, so they fit precisely and stay in place during activity. Store-bought guards often fit poorly, can be uncomfortable, and may interfere with breathing and talking. Custom guards offer superior protection and comfort.

Absolutely. In fact, a custom mouth guard is especially important if you wear braces. We design your guard to fit comfortably over your orthodontic appliances while protecting both your teeth and your braces from impact.

How often should I replace my mouth guard?+

Bring your mouth guard to your regular dental appointments so we can check the fit. Growing children and teens may need replacements as their mouths change. We will let you know when it is time for a new one.
