Custom-Fit Sports Mouthguards
Protect your teeth and reduce the risk of injury with custom-fitted mouthguards, tailored for athletes of all ages and designed for maximum comfort and performance.
What Is a Mouthguard?
A mouthguard is a protective device worn over the teeth to cushion impact and minimize the risk of injury during sports or physical activities. Custom-fitted mouthguards offer superior protection compared to store-bought options by ensuring a snug, secure fit and even distribution of forces during collisions.
Designed for comfort and durability, dentist-grade mouthguards allow clear speech and easy breathing, making them an essential tool for athletes of all ages.
Who Requires a Mouthguard & How Does It Work?
Mouthguards are essential for anyone participating in:
- Contact sports like rugby, boxing, or hockey, where injuries to the face are common.
- Non-contact sports with a risk of falls or impact, such as cycling or skateboarding.
How It Works:
- Custom Fitting: A digital scan is taken of your upper and lower teeth to ensure a precise fit.
- Design & Fabrication: The mouthguard is crafted to cushion impact and distribute force evenly through the jaw.
- Final Adjustments: Once made, the mouthguard is fine-tuned for comfort and functionality, ensuring it stays in place during play.
For growing children, new mouthguards are needed each season to accommodate changes in their teeth.

Let's answer some frequently asked questions.
Mouthguards are simple dental instruments used to protect one’s teeth from severe injuries while they play sports. A sports mouthguard typically covers an individual’s teeth, tongue, gums, and cheeks to shield them from trauma caused by intensive injuries and protects against broken teeth and cut lips.
Wearing a mouthguard while partaking in sporting activities can help an individual prevent extensive damage to their teeth, and/or soft tissue damage to their lips, gums, and inner cheeks.
In addition to this, studies show that a select variant of mouthguard also helps reduce snoring and improve breathing disorders that affect one’s sleep.
Further, reports of mouthguard use by individuals affected by bruxism (a condition in which you unconsciously grind, gnash or clench your teeth) also show improvements in their overall oral health.
Any sport with a risk of impact, including rugby, AFL, hockey, and basketball, requires a mouthguard. Even non-contact sports like cycling or skating can benefit from this added layer of protection.
Yes! Custom-fitted mouthguards provide the best protection for children’s teeth and jaws. While they’ll need replacements as they grow, the enhanced comfort and safety are worth it.
Store-bought mouthguards often fit poorly and fail to distribute impact evenly, leading to discomfort and reduced protection. Dentist-fitted mouthguards ensure a snug fit, proper alignment, and superior force absorption.
Yes, but if you participate in high-contact sports, a thicker mouthguard may be recommended for added protection.
For adults, every 1–2 years is ideal, depending on wear and tear. Children will need replacements each season as their teeth grow and change.
Not at all! Custom-fitted mouthguards are designed for maximum comfort, allowing you to speak and breathe easily during activity.
Yes, custom mouthguards can be made to fit comfortably over braces, providing essential protection during sports.
Absolutely! Choose colours, patterns, and even include your name and phone number for personalisation.
Sports mouthguards are not designed for nighttime use. If you need protection while sleeping, ask about a custom night guard instead.
Rinse it with cool water after each use and store it in a ventilated case. Occasionally clean it with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or specialised cleaning products.
No prescription is required. Simply book an appointment at Smile Studio Newstead for a custom-fitting.
