Understanding when to invest in a custom mouthguard can help you protect your teeth effectively. Here are some scenarios where a custom mouthguard can be highly beneficial:
Opting for a custom mouthguard over cheap, shelf-bought alternatives offers significant benefits:
A custom mouthguard is made by taking an impression of your teeth, which is then used to create a mouthguard that fits your mouth perfectly. This process ensures a snug fit that provides maximum protection. The mouthguard is crafted from durable, high-quality materials that can withstand impact and wear.
To avoid accumulation of bacteria, your mouthguard should be washed in warm soap water. Rinse well after use.
It is highly recommended that a mouthguard should be worn when playing any high-impact or contact sport. Typically, anyone who plays AFL, rugby, soccer, kickboxing, wrestling, cricket, basketball or hockey would wear a mouthguard.
If maintained correctly, a mouthguard will provide good protection for 3 to 5 years. However, as your teeth, mouth and jaws naturally change shape over time, it is recommended to change your mouthguard whenever you feel it doesn’t provide the maximum comfort or coverage.
