SPORT GUARDS
CUSTOM SPORT GUARDS
A custom sport guard (or mouthguard) is a high-quality, professional protective device made by a denturist to fit your mouth exactly.
Unlike the generic "boil-and-bite" guards you buy at sporting goods stores, a custom guard is fabricated using a precise mold of your teeth and gums.
Why It Is Superior
- Exact Fit: It does not rely on you biting down to hold it in place. It stays in by suction/friction, meaning you can open your mouth, speak, and breathe heavily without it falling out.
- Better Protection: The material (typically Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) is consistent in thickness. Store-bought guards often get bitten through or thinned out during the molding process, losing their protective value.
- Comfort: Because it is trimmed perfectly to your gum line, it does not trigger a gag reflex or rub against your soft tissues
