At Fletcher Dental Care, we understand the importance of protecting your teeth, whether you’re engaging in physical activities or dealing with nighttime grinding. A custom-fit mouthguard offers the best defence against injury and dental damage. Unlike over-the-counter options, our mouthguards are tailor-made to fit your teeth perfectly, providing superior comfort and protection. We offer both sports mouthguards and night guards to suit your needs.

Why Choose a Custom-Fit Mouthguard?

  • Comfort and Fit: Unlike store-bought mouthguards, our custom-made options are crafted to the exact contours of your teeth, ensuring maximum comfort and stability during wear.
  • Enhanced Protection: Custom mouthguards provide a higher level of protection for your teeth, gums, and jaw by reducing the risk of damage from impact or grinding.
  • Long-Lasting: Made from high-quality materials, our mouthguards are durable and offer long-lasting protection.

The Mouthguard Process

Consultation and Impressions

During your appointment, we will take a detailed impression of your teeth to create a perfectly fitting mouthguard.

Customisation

Based on your needs (sports or nighttime grinding), your mouthguard will be customised for optimal performance and comfort.

Fit and Adjustments

Once your mouthguard is ready, we will ensure it fits comfortably and securely, making any necessary adjustments.

Care and Maintenance:

We’ll provide instructions on how to care for your mouthguard to prolong its life and maintain its protective benefits.

Types of Mouthguards We Offer

Sports Mouthguards

If you participate in contact sports such as rugby, football, hockey, or martial arts, a custom sports mouthguard is essential. These mouthguards are designed to absorb impacts and prevent damage to your teeth, lips, gums, and jaw. Our custom-fitted sports mouthguards:

  • Are specifically designed for your teeth for maximum comfort and protection.
  • Help reduce the risk of concussions by cushioning blows to the face.
  • Are durable and long-lasting compared to store-bought versions.

 

Night Guards (For Teeth Grinding/Bruxism)

Teeth grinding or clenching, also known as bruxism, can lead to significant damage to your teeth over time. Our custom night guards:

  • Prevent the wearing down of tooth enamel and alleviate pressure on your jaw.
  • Help reduce symptoms such as headaches, jaw pain, and damaged teeth.
  • Are made from high-quality materials to ensure comfort and durability throughout the night.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why should I choose a custom-made mouthguard over a store-bought one?
Custom-made mouthguards provide a superior fit, greater comfort, and more effective protection. Store-bought options are often bulky and can shift during wear, providing less protection.
It usually takes about a week from your initial appointment to receiving your custom mouthguard. We take an impression of your teeth and ensure a perfect fit.
While mouthguards for sports or grinding aren’t designed to treat sleep apnoea, there are specialised devices called mandibular advancement splints that can help manage snoring and sleep apnoea. Please consult with us to determine the best solution for your needs.
With proper care, custom mouthguards can last several years. However, it’s important to replace them if they become worn, damaged, or if your teeth or bite change.
Sports mouthguards are thicker and designed to absorb impacts, protecting teeth during physical activity. Night guards, on the other hand, are designed to prevent damage from teeth grinding and are generally thinner for comfort during sleep.
Clean your mouthguard after each use with cold water and a mild, non-abrasive soap. Store it in a ventilated case and avoid exposing it to heat to prevent warping. Regular check-ups with us can help ensure it remains in good condition.
