Mouthguards

A mouthguard is made out of flexible plastic and is worn to protect your teeth from sports injuries.
Correctly designed, custom made mouthguards are essential in the prevention of oral/ facial injuries.

A properly fitted mouthguard must be protective, comfortable, tear resistant, odourless, tasteless, and cause minimal interference to speaking and breathing. It needs to have excellent retention and sufficient thickness.

The Importance of Wearing a Mouthguard

Dental injuries are among the most common injuries in contact sport. Loss of teeth affects the way the individual feels, looks and speaks. Dental repairs can be painful, time consuming and costly.

While custom made mouthguards cannot totally prevent dental injury, studies show that a properly fitted mouthguard does help cushion blows to the face that otherwise could result in mouth damage. Mouthguards are an investment in minimising many painful and preventable dental injuries.

A custom fitted mouthguard will stay in place while you are wearing it, making it easy for you to talk and breathe while training and performing. For more information see Mouthguard Man's website, linked above, send an email, or call direct on: 0413193473
