Different approaches to
Sport Mouthguards
There are several approaches for provision of sports mouthguards that your dentist will discuss with you:
Over-the-counter
Over-the-counter, also known as ‘boil and bite’ mouthguards, can be purchased at pharmacies. They are very affordable and can be remoulded when teeth are moving (such as when baby teeth are being lost, or during orthodontic treatment). They do not offer a high level of protection as custom-made guards, and tend to be less comfortable to wear as they have a less precise fit.
Custom Mouthguards
Custom mouthguards are the best form of protection for your teeth and jaws during sports activities. Custom mouthguards are made of one or more layers of EVA vinyl material to ensure a precise and comfortable fit around your teeth and jaws, as well as providing a cushion to absorb and distribute any forces in an impact to the face.
