Sports Mouthguards in Brunswick
Brunswick is an active community. From footy and netball to martial arts, cycling, and weekend sport, local families spend plenty of time on the move. While bumps and bruises are often part of the game, dental injuries can be much more difficult to recover from.
At Brunswick Road Dental, we’ve spent 30 years helping protect the smiles of area families. A custom sports mouthguard is one of the simplest ways to help reduce the risk of dental injuries while staying active and enjoying the sports you love.
Custom vs Store-Bought: Why It Matters
Not all mouthguards are made the same.
Store-bought boil-and-bite mouthguards are designed to fit a wide range of people, which can make them feel bulky or uncomfortable. Because they aren’t customised to your teeth, they may be less likely to stay securely in place during sport.
A custom mouthguard is created from a model of your teeth and bite. It’s designed for a closer fit, improved comfort, and easier wear during training and competition. When a mouthguard feels comfortable, players are generally more likely to wear it consistently.
Protecting Active Smiles
Contact and collision sports can place teeth, jaws, and soft tissues at risk of injury. A custom sports mouthguard is designed to help protect against:
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Knocked-out teeth
- Lip and soft tissue injuries
- Jaw injuries
Sports mouthguards are suitable for both children and adults and can be worn across a wide range of activities. For younger athletes, custom mouthguards can also be made in team colours, making them easier to identify and a little more fun to wear!
What Does Getting a Mouthguard Involve?
The process is simple. We take impressions or digital records of your teeth, which are used to create a custom-fitted mouthguard designed specifically for your bite.
Once fabrication is complete, your mouthguard is ready to collect and wear during training and competition. Our team will also provide advice on caring for your mouthguard throughout the season.
