Sports Mouth Guard

There is nothing worse than worrying about an uncomfortable or ill-fitting mouth guard when you are supposed to be focused on the game. And if you wear braces, you will know that the search for the perfect mouth guard can become more like a quest! Whether you are playing serious football on the weekend or playing your first rugby season at school, our team is committed to making the process of getting a sports mouth guard seamless and smooth.

For the sportsman or woman in Geelong, custom sports mouth guards are on the list of ‘must-haves’. Just like there is nothing worse than wearing in a cheap pair of shoes, wearing an ill-fitting mouth guard can be an uncomfortable, even painful, experience.

What does a mouth guard do?

There is nothing worse than worrying about an uncomfortable or ill-fitting mouth guard when you are supposed to be focused on the game. You need to perform well, and so does your mouth guard.

Of all the safety equipment you need to buy to make sure your sport is safe and fun, the humble mouth guard is probably the most important. But what does it do exactly? Simply put, it guards your mouth from knocks and bumps; it protects your teeth to stop them from cracking, breaking or being knocked out and it protects your jaw from impact injuries caused by knocking against teeth. There is simply no other protective item that works quite like the mouth guard.

A sports mouth guard: 

• absorbs impact and disperses it around the jawline, preventing collisions from badly impacting any one part of the face; 
• keeps your teeth in position, preventing them from clanging against one another and being pushed out of alignment when hard contact occurs; and
• prevents internal damage to your teeth, jaw, and mouth when the pressure of play intensifies.

Fulfilling all your sports mouth guard needs

No mouth guard, no play. That is the rule…but what referees and umpires often miss is that a badly fitting sports mouth guard – too big, too small, or just a wonky shape – can be worse than no mouth guard at all. Neither you nor your child should be entering the game unless they have a professionally designed and fitted mouth guard for sport. Golden Plains Dental Services specialises in custom mouth guards to suit any Geelong sporting endeavor.

Whether it is a football mouth guard, an MMA mouth guard, or whatever other sport you play in Geelong, our team can create a mouth guard that will give you the right protection to pursue what you love.

The best kids mouth guard in Geelong 

Every face is different, especially when we are young and still growing. That is why a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach does not work for kids. Using generic gel guards for you or your child can actually undo years of meticulous dental work. Our 3D scan technology professionally measures, designs, and personally fits all kinds of custom mouth guards to kids of all ages.

Custom mouth guard for braces 

It is a sad fact, but a generic mouth guard bought at a sports store won’t fit orthodontically fitted braces. Although braces might be ‘short-term’ on your or your child’s teeth, they are really a ‘long-term’ investment that must be protected by a custom mouth guard, made by a qualified and experienced dental prosthetist, with exceptional attention to detail. You may be preventing eventual damage or further costs later by paying a little bit more attention to the protection of your mouth now.

Without a properly fitting mouth guard, kids or adults with braces face the prospect of not playing the sport they love until those braces come off! Our face is the part of our bodies that people look at the most and our teeth are front and centre. It is no wonder then, that so many people are already anxious about how their braces look without then having to manage the frustration of a mouth guard that does not fit properly and simply does not work for them.

That is why a custom mouth guard made by Golden Plains Dental Services, is just so important. And with our ‘perfect fit’ guarantee, you can bring your new mouth guard back to get adjusted or replaced at no extra cost, until your happy with the fit and feel of your new mouth guard.

For optimal teeth protection and comfort whilst playing contact sports, have your custom mouth guard made by a 
dental prosthetist.
