About Mouth Guard Services<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Mouth guards are a simple, effective way to protect your teeth and jaw from injury and wear. Whether you play contact sports or grind\/clench your teeth at night (bruxism), a custom-fitted mouth guard can help prevent chipped or broken teeth, reduce jaw strain, and minimise headaches and facial muscle tension. Our mouth guard service starts with an assessment and precise impressions or digital scans to create a comfortable, secure fit tailored to your bite. We\u2019ll also provide guidance on cleaning and care, so your mouth guard stays hygienic and lasts longer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
What\u2019s the difference between a custom mouth guard and a store-bought one?<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>

Custom mouth guards are made to fit your teeth and bite precisely, which usually makes them more comfortable, secure, and protective. Over-the-counter guards can be bulkier, less stable, and may not offer the same level of protection.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Do I need a mouth guard if I don\u2019t play contact sports?<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>

You may still benefit from one if you grind or clench your teeth at night, have jaw tension, or are prone to tooth wear or cracks. We can assess your teeth and discuss whether a sports guard or a night guard is more appropriate.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Can I wear a mouth guard with braces or aligners?<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>

Yes\u2014mouth guards can be made to accommodate braces and to help protect both your teeth and orthodontic appliances. If you\u2019re wearing clear aligners, we\u2019ll advise the best approach based on your treatment plan.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

How do I clean and store my mouth guard?4<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>

Rinse it with cool water after use, brush it gently with a soft toothbrush, and allow it to air dry. Store it in a ventilated case away from heat (hot water and sunlight can warp it). Bring it to your check-ups so we can inspect the fit and condition.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

How often should I replace my mouth guard?<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>

This depends on wear, fit, and growth (for children and teens). Adults typically replace their guard when it becomes worn, loose, cracked, or uncomfortable. For growing children, replacement may be needed more often as teeth and jaws change.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
