Custom Fit Sports Mouthguards

A mouthguard is an essential piece of protective equipment for many sports, particularly contact and collision sports. A properly fitted mouthguard helps protect your teeth, gums, lips, and jaw, reducing the risk of dental injuries during play.

At Queenstown Denture Centre, our custom-fit mouthguards are individually made from an impression of your teeth, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. Unlike over-the-counter “boil and bite” mouthguards, a custom-made mouthguard is designed specifically for your mouth, providing superior comfort, retention, and protection.

We provide mouthguards for primary and high school students and adults, for rugby, hockey, martial arts, boxing, basketball, mountain biking, and a wide range of other sports where impact to the teeth may be a possibility.

Research suggests that a well-designed mouthguard may also help absorb and distribute impact forces more effectively. By cushioning the space between the upper and lower jaws during an impact, custom mouthguards can help reduce the forces transmitted through the jaw and surrounding structures.

Because they fit so precisely, custom mouthguards stay securely in place without needing to be constantly repositioned. They are more comfortable to wear, make breathing and speaking easier during sport, and are less likely to be chewed or distorted over time.

We offer mouthguards in a range of thicknesses to suit different sports and levels of impact. All of our mouthguards are manufactured with a dual-layer design as standard. For high-impact sports such as boxing, we can also provide enhanced protection using multiple layers of material and specialised shock-absorbing inserts.

Colours & Personalisation

Custom mouthguards are available in a wide range of colours and patterns, allowing you to create a design that reflects your personality, team colours, or club branding.

For added peace of mind, we can also incorporate your name and phone number directly into the mouthguard to make it easier to identify and return if lost.

Braces & Growing Smiles

Custom mouthguards can be made to fit around braces and other fixed dental restorations, including crowns and bridges.

For children and teenagers, mouthguards often need to be replaced each year, as their teeth and jaws continue to develop. We generally recommend checking the fit before each sporting season to ensure the mouthguard continues to provide the best possible protection.

What to Expect

The process is simple. We begin by taking an impression of your teeth, which is then used to create your custom mouthguard. In most cases, your mouthguard will be ready for collection within approximately one week.
