A mouthguard custom fitted by your Mullumbimby Dentist and worn during sporting events can significantly reduce the risk of a dental injury and is a lot less expensive to treat.

Don't forget, some private health funds may cover a portion of your mouthguard - so check with them if you have extra's cover!

What are custom-made mouthguards?

Our mouthguards are appliances that are made to fit your mouth and provide protection to your teeth and jaw joints against injuries that can occur while playing high impact sports.

At Maven Dental, we recommend mouthguards for active children and adults, especially for boxing, soccer, hockey and football, as sport is one of the most common causes of dental injury.

What is the cost of a custom-made mouthguard?

The cost of a custom-made mouthguard can vary depending on your mouth and the specification for the sport you play. The best way to get an indication of pricing is to book a consultation with your dentist.

Are custom-made mouthguards uncomfortable to wear?

Custom-made mouthguards are painless and are specifically designed to protect your mouth from damage when you play sport. You may feel some discomfort when you first start wearing your mouthguard, however this won’t last long and should resolve once you get use to wearing it.

How to custom made-mouthguards work?

Wearing an appropriately designed, well fitted mouthguard provides protection to your mouth and teeth and will lessen the impact from anything making contact with your teeth or jaw while while participating in high impact sport.

A protective mouthguard should:

Be comfortable yet tight fitting
Allow regular speech
Allow regular breathing

These differ from mouth-formed and ready-made over the counter products.

How effective are custom made mouthguards?

Custom-made mouthguards are proven to be very effective at protecting your mouth and minimising injury while playing sports, especially contact sports. Providing a snug fit to your mouth, the material helps to reduce the force that may be caused by direct impact. Off-the-shelf, ready-made commercial mouthguards don’t offer the same amount of protection and are not as comfortable or retentive.
