Why Custom Beats Shop-Bought Every Time

There's no comparison between a professionally fitted mouthguard and a generic boil-and-bite.

200x Better Protection

Custom mouthguards are up to 200 times more effective than boil-and-bite alternatives. Laboratory studies show custom guards absorb and distribute impact force far more effectively.

Excellent Fit, Consistently

Made from precise impressions of your teeth, your guard fits securely. No gagging, no slipping, no need to clench to keep it in place.

Breathe & Speak Normally

Unlike bulky shop-bought guards, custom guards allow unrestricted airflow. Communicate with teammates and maintain peak performance.

Protects Teeth, Jaw & Brain

A properly fitted mouthguard doesn't just protect teeth — it cushions the jaw joint and reduces concussion risk by absorbing shock.

Lasts 2-3 Seasons

Premium materials and precise fit mean your custom guard lasts years, not weeks. Far better value than replacing cheap guards repeatedly.

Comfortable Enough to Wear

The best protection is the one you actually use. Custom guards are so comfortable, athletes forget they're wearing them.

Sports Mouthguard FAQs

Everything you need to know about custom sports guards

Shop-bought 'boil and bite' guards offer minimal protection. Studies show custom-fitted guards are significantly more effective at preventing dental injuries. They're also far more comfortable — most athletes find shop guards so uncomfortable they stop wearing them. A custom guard costs less than a single filling, and far less than replacing a knocked-out tooth (£5,000+).

Protect Your Smile Before Your Next Game

Don't risk a lifetime of dental problems for the sake of a 10-minute appointment. Custom mouthguards are quick, affordable, and infinitely more effective than shop-bought alternatives.
