Sports Guards

A better-fitting guard can be part of protecting your smile during contact sports.

A good place to begin

Care explained, without the pressure.

A mouthguard provides a layer of protection for teeth during activities with a risk of impact. A dentist can discuss fit and whether a custom option makes sense.

The current production site lists sports guards. Ask the office to confirm current custom guard availability.

Questions, answered

Good to know before you go.

We would rather give you clear answers than leave you guessing. Call us if your question is more specific.

Is a custom sports guard different from a store-bought one?

Fit and material can differ. The right choice depends on your sport, dental work, and comfort.

Can I wear a sports guard with braces or aligners?

Protection needs change with orthodontic appliances. Ask your dentist or orthodontic provider for a recommendation.

When should a guard be replaced?

Replace it if it is damaged, no longer fits, or your teeth have changed. Bring it to a visit for a fit check.
