Choosing a suitable mouthguard

Custom mouthguards are designed around your teeth and may provide a more secure fit than generic options. Your dentist can advise according to the sport and your dental work.

Looking after it

Clean your mouthguard after use, keep it in a ventilated case and bring it to appointments if its fit changes. Children may need replacement as their teeth develop.

Practical steps to remember

  • Wear your mouthguard consistently
  • Replace it if fit changes or damage occurs
  • Ask about protection around braces or implants
