Custom Mouthguards
At Macquarie Dental Care, we understand the importance of protecting your teeth and mouth during sports activities. Our custom-made mouthguards offer the best protection and comfort for athletes of all ages and skill levels. Here’s why you should choose our custom mouthguards for sports:
Why Custom Mouthguards?
Generic mouthguards from sporting goods stores can be uncomfortable and offer limited protection. Our custom mouthguards are designed to fit your unique dental structure, ensuring optimal safety and comfort.
Benefits of Custom Mouthguards
Superior Protection: Our custom mouthguards are designed to absorb impact and protect your teeth, gums, and jaw from injuries during sports.
Comfortable Fit: Since they are made to fit your mouth, you can speak and breathe easily while wearing them.
Durable Material: Our mouthguards are crafted from high-quality materials that withstand the rigors of sports activities.
Customisable Designs: We offer a range of colours and designs to suit your style and preferences.
Who Needs Custom Mouthguards?
Athletes: If you participate in contact sports like football, rugby, or hockey, a custom mouthguard is a must-have for safety.
Active Children and Teens: Young athletes are at higher risk of dental injuries, making custom mouthguards essential for sports activities.
Anyone at Risk of Dental Injury: If you engage in activities where there’s a risk of mouth injury, a custom mouthguard provides peace of mind.
How We Create Custom Mouthguards
Our process begins with an impression of your teeth, which we use to create a mouthguard tailored to your unique dental structure. This ensures a perfect fit and maximum protection.

Custom mouthguards are designed to fit your specific dental structure, providing a more comfortable and secure fit. This custom design ensures better protection by reducing movement within the mouth, which can lead to injury during sports. Unlike store-bought mouthguards, custom versions allow for better speech and breathing, enhancing safety and comfort.
The lifespan of a custom mouthguard can vary depending on how often it’s used and how well it’s maintained. Generally, it’s recommended to replace your custom mouthguard every 12-18 months. However, if you notice wear and tear, distortion, or reduced protection, it’s best to replace it sooner. Children and teenagers might need more frequent replacements due to growth and changes in their dental structure.
To ensure your custom mouthguard lasts and stays hygienic, follow these care tips:
Clean regularly: Rinse your mouthguard with cool water after each use and brush it with a toothbrush and mild soap regularly.
Store properly: Keep your mouthguard in a ventilated case when not in use to prevent bacteria build-up.
Avoid heat: Keep your mouthguard away from high temperatures, such as in a car on a hot day, as this can cause warping.
Regular check-ups: Bring your mouthguard to your dental appointments so your dentist can check its condition and fit.
By following these tips, you can extend the lifespan of your custom mouthguard and ensure it remains effective.
