Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between custom and store-bought mouthguards?
Custom mouthguards offer superior fit, protection, and comfort. They are moulded specifically to your teeth and bite, whereas store-bought ones are generic and may be bulky or loose.
Can I wear a mouthguard with braces?
Yes. We create specialised guards that accommodate brackets and wires while still offering excellent protection.
How long do custom mouthguards last?
With proper care, they last 1–2 years. Children may require more frequent replacements due to growth.
Are mouthguards only for contact sports?
While essential for contact sports, they’re also beneficial in non-contact sports with risk of falls, and for managing night-time grinding.
Can mouthguards help with snoring or sleep apnea?
Only specially designed oral appliances can help with snoring or mild sleep apnea. Nightguards for grinding do not treat these conditions, but we can refer you for proper evaluation.
