In contact sports, even a single collision can transfer considerable forces to the front teeth, lips and jaw.
A sports mouthguard is designed to absorb and distribute these forces.
Custom-made instead of one-size-fits-all
Off-the-shelf mouthguards have to fit a wide range of different dentitions.
A custom-made sports mouthguard, by contrast, is crafted on the basis of your actual dental situation.
This allows fit, protection and wearing comfort to be matched to each other far more precisely.
Which sports is it suitable for?
A mouthguard can be particularly worthwhile in sports involving physical contact, a risk of falling or fast-moving objects – for example martial arts, hockey, rugby or other contact sports.
Additional protection for your teeth can also make sense for certain leisure activities.
For young athletes
In children and adolescents, the jaw and the position of the teeth are still changing.
The mouthguard should therefore be checked regularly to make sure it still fits correctly, or whether it needs to be adjusted or replaced.
