Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why should I choose a custom mouthguard over a store-bought one?

Custom mouthguards offer a superior fit, enhanced comfort, and better protection compared to over-the-counter options. They are specifically designed to fit the unique shape of your mouth, providing a more secure and comfortable fit, which in turn offers better protection against injuries.

How long does it take to get a custom mouthguard?

The process typically involves two visits. During the first visit, we take impressions of your teeth. The mouthguard is then custom-made in a dental lab, and you return for a final fitting. The entire process usually takes about 1-2 weeks.

How do I care for my custom mouthguard?

To maintain your mouthguard, rinse it with cool water before and after each use, and clean it with a toothbrush and mild soap regularly. Store it in a ventilated container when not in use, and avoid exposing it to high temperatures, which can cause it to warp.

Can my child use the same mouthguard as they grow?

Children’s mouths change as they grow, so it’s important to regularly assess the fit of their mouthguard. We recommend having it checked at least once a year, and it may need to be replaced more frequently if there are significant changes in their dental structure.

Is a custom mouthguard only necessary for contact sports?

While custom mouthguards are especially important for contact sports like football and hockey, they are also beneficial for non-contact sports or activities like gymnastics, skateboarding, or mountain biking, where there is still a risk of oral injury.

How often should I replace my custom mouthguard?

With proper care, a custom mouthguard can last several seasons. However, if it shows signs of wear or if your dental structure changes, it’s important to replace it to ensure continued protection.
