Custom-fitted Mouthguards in Eltham
Mouthguards
A properly fitted mouthguard should be worn during any contact sport or activity where there is a risk of an injury to the face e.g. Football, Hockey, Volleyball, Soccer etc. Without a mouthguard, sports injuries and accidents can result in damage and injury to the gum, lips or teeth including tooth fracture or knocked out teeth and jaw fractures.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our Custom Fitted, Pressure Laminated Mouthguards which come in a range of type and colours, including AFL colours, to suit everyone.
Is there a difference between a custom fitted mouthguard and a boil and bite or ready-made mouthguard?
Custom-fitted Mouthguards are constructed and fitted to the shape of your mouth by a dental professional. A Custom Fitted Mouthguard should fit snugly and be comfortable, allow normal breathing and swallowing and allow the wearer to speak. They need to be thick enough (4mm) to provide protection against impact and have been proven to reduce the number and severity of mouth injuries in sport and during training.
Whilst over the counter Boil-and-bite and Ready-Made Mouthguards are cheaper and may be more accessible, they are uncomfortable, difficult to keep in your mouth and provide measurably different protection. Your custom-fitted mouthguard will ensure maximal protection as comfortably as possible.

Caring for your Mouthguard
Rinse your Mouthguard in cold water before and after use.
After use, rinse in cold water, dry and store in a plastic container with air vents to allow the air to circulate and keep in a cool place to avoid distortion.
Over time, you may need to replace your mouthguard due to changes which may occur in your mouth, such as the eruption of permanent teeth or restorations.
