Protect your child’s smile, and your own, in hockey, soccer, basketball, martial arts and other contact sports. Custom mouthguards, 3D-printed in our own clinic from a quick scan, often ready in a few days.
A hit, fall or stray ball can break a tooth in a second. Here’s how a custom sports mouthguard (sometimes called a mouth guard) protects children and adults in any contact sport.
They can chip, crack or be knocked out.
Across your teeth and the guard, cushioning your lips, cheeks and jaw too.
It’s better than nothing. But a mouthguard only protects when it’s in, and a bulky, loose guard often ends up chewed, taken out or left in the bag. A custom mouthguard fits snugly, so it stays in and gets worn.

If the fit isn’t right when we deliver it, we make you a new one at no cost.
Children’s mouths change quickly as new teeth come in and jaws grow. We check the fit of your child’s mouthguard at every checkup, and let you know when it’s time for a new one, so it keeps protecting them season after season.
If your child wears braces, ask us about the right mouthguard for them. Protecting braces during sport matters too.
