Mouthgurds – Custom Dentist Made Sports Mouthguards Newbury
Sports Mouthguards
Protect your teeth with a custom-made sports mouthguard in Newbury.
At The Rectory Dental Clinic, we provide professionally fitted mouthguards for adults and children. They suit people who play rugby, hockey, football, boxing, martial arts and other contact sports.
A secure and comfortable mouthguard can reduce the risk of broken or displaced teeth. It can also help protect the lips, gums and cheeks from injury.
Dentists strongly recommend mouthguards for anyone taking part in contact sports. They can reduce the risk of broken teeth, jaw fractures and other oral injuries. They may also absorb shock from impacts and reduce the severity of head injuries.
At The Rectory Dental Clinic in Newbury, we only provide custom-made mouthguards.
There are Three Main Types of Mouthguards
When participating in contact sports, protecting your teeth is essential. At The Rectory Dental Clinic, Dr Alfie Chan a Newbury dentist , recommends wearing a high-quality mouthguard to help prevent dental injuries, chipped teeth, and damage to the jaw.
Stock Mouthguards
There are three main types of mouthguards available. The first is the stock mouthguard, which is pre-made and ready to wear. These are inexpensive and widely available in sports shops. However, they often fit poorly, can feel bulky, and may not provide the level of protection required during high-impact activities.
Boil And Bite Mouthguard.
The second option is the boil-and-bite mouthguard. Made from thermoplastic material, it softens in hot water and can then be moulded around the teeth using finger and tongue pressure. While this type offers a better fit than stock mouthguards, it can still be uncomfortable and may not provide optimal protection.
Custom Made Mouthguard.
The third and most effective option is a custom-made mouthguard.
At The Rectory Dental Clinic in Newbury, we create each mouthguard from precise impressions of your teeth. This provides a secure fit, greater comfort and excellent protection.
Custom mouthguards cost more than over-the-counter alternatives. However, dentists strongly recommend them for children, teenagers and adults involved in contact or high-impact sports.
Manufacturers usually make mouthguards from flexible materials. These include ethylene vinyl acetate, silicone, polyurethane and laminated plastic.
Ethylene vinyl acetate, commonly known as EVA, is the most widely used material. It is durable, comfortable and effective at absorbing impact.
Our custom mouthguards are available in many colours. Options include clear, blue, red, green, pink, black and fluorescent shades.
Many patients choose clear mouthguards for a discreet appearance. Athletes often select colours that match their team kit.
We can also add names, logos and personalised designs to create a unique finish.
