Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a custom sports mouthguard better than store-bought options?
A custom-fitted mouthguard is made by taking a precise mold of your teeth, ensuring it stays firmly in place without clenching. It offers superior force distribution, thicker coverage in critical areas, allows you to breathe and talk easily, and stays put during impacts, unlike loose store-bought guards.
How much does a custom mouthguard cost and is it covered by health funds?
A custom mouthguard ranges from $150 to $250. Most private health insurance companies cover a significant portion or even the full cost under preventative dental extras. We provide appropriate item codes for easy claiming.
How often should a sports mouthguard be replaced?
We recommend replacing sports mouthguards once a year. Over a season, biting down on the guard compresses the material, reducing its shock-absorbing capacity. For children and teenagers, regular replacement is crucial to accommodate growing jaws and shifting teeth.
Can I wear a custom mouthguard if I have braces?
Yes, absolutely. In fact, it is even more critical to protect your lips and gums from the brackets during impact. We design custom mouthguards to accommodate the orthodontic appliance, allowing teeth to align while keeping them fully protected.
What sports require a custom-fitted mouthguard?
Any contact or collision sport. This includes high-impact sports like AFL, rugby, hockey, boxing, and martial arts, but also non-collision sports like basketball, netball, soccer, and skateboarding where falls or elbow contact can cause dental trauma.
How should I clean and store my mouthguard?
Rinse your mouthguard with cool water after every use. Clean it occasionally with mild soap and a soft toothbrush. Never use hot water, expose it to direct sunlight, or leave it in a hot car, as heat will warp the custom shape. Always store it in the provided ventilated container.
Do custom mouthguards prevent concussions?
While no mouthguard can offer 100% protection against concussions, a custom mouthguard acts as a crucial shock absorber. It cushions the impact between the lower and upper jaw, reducing the force transmitted through the jaw joint to the base of the skull.
Can I choose my own colors?
Yes! We offer a full range of colors. You can choose a solid color, clear, dual-color stripes, or multi-color patterns to match your team or club colors.
How long does the process take from start to finish?
Because we have our own dental laboratory on-site in Oak Park, we can usually deliver your completed mouthguard within 3 to 5 business days after taking impressions.
What materials are your custom mouthguards made from?
We use high-grade, biocompatible, BPA-free thermoplastic materials. Our guards are pressure-laminated for maximum durability, tear resistance, and comfortable wear.
