Custom-Made Mouthguards in Southport
Types of Mouthguards
Custom-made mouthguards
Custom-made mouthguards are designed by dental professionals using impressions of your teeth. They fit well, provide optimal protection, and allow you to breathe, speak, and swallow comfortably.
Boil-and-bite mouthguards
These mouthguards are self-fitted and loosely fitted, affecting breathing and speaking. They may not conform to your bite and are not recommended by dentists.
Stock
These mouthguards are pre-formed and ready-to-wear. Like boil-and-bite mouthguards, they offer the least protection for your teeth.
Three Custom Mouthguard Options
Single layer mouthguard
Single layer mouthguards protect during low to medium impact sports. Recommended for children up to 12, they suit crowded or misaligned teeth.
Dual layer mouthguard
Dual layer mouthguards are recommended for medium to high impact sports. They ensure unrestricted speech and breathing and are suitable for ages 13 and up.
Professional mouthguard
Professional mouthguards have three layers for tooth protection. Recommended for high-impact sports, they suit ages 13 and up.
How to Look After Your Mouthguard
Some suggestions to look after your mouthguard include:
Rinse with soap and cool (not hot) water after each use and allow it to air-dry.
Do not leave it in direct sunlight or inside the car. Heat can damage the mouthguard.
Have your dentist check your mouthguard at your regular check-ups.
If the mouthguard starts to feel uncomfortable and not fit well, follow-up with your dentist.
