Why Custom Beats Shop-Bought Every Time

There's no comparison between a professionally fitted mouthguard and a generic boil-and-bite.

Far Greater Protection

Laboratory studies indicate custom mouthguards can absorb and distribute impact force dramatically better than boil-and-bite alternatives, by some measures up to 200 times more effectively.

A Secure, Precise Fit

Made from exact impressions of your teeth, your guard stays put. No gagging, no slipping, no clenching required to hold it in place.

Breathe & Speak Normally

Unlike bulky shop-bought guards, custom guards allow unrestricted airflow. Communicate with teammates and maintain peak performance.

Protects Teeth, Jaw & Brain

A properly fitted mouthguard doesn't just protect teeth. It cushions the jaw joint and reduces concussion risk by absorbing shock.

Lasts 2-3 Seasons

Premium materials and precise fit mean your custom guard lasts years, not weeks. Far better value than replacing cheap guards repeatedly.

Comfortable Enough to Wear

Protection only works if you actually wear it. Custom guards are so comfortable that many athletes forget they have them in.

How It Works

Just two short visits and you're protected. Here's the process.

1

Quick Impressions

We take precise moulds of your teeth in just 10 minutes

2

Custom Fabrication

3

Precise Fit Check

You return for fitting and any final adjustments

4

Game Ready

Sports Mouthguard FAQs

Everything you need to know about custom sports guards

Boil-and-bite guards from sports shops provide only limited protection, research shows custom-fitted guards prevent dental injuries far more effectively. They're also much more comfortable; poorly fitting shop guards are so awkward that many athletes simply stop wearing them. A custom guard costs less than one filling and a fraction of what a knocked-out tooth costs to replace (£5,000+).

Protect Your Smile Before Your Next Game

Don't risk a lifetime of dental problems for the sake of a 10-minute appointment. Custom mouthguards are quick, affordable, and infinitely more effective than shop-bought alternatives.
