Providing Enhanced Impact Protection
A single moment on the field can result in a chipped, cracked, or even lost tooth. From footy to basketball, contact sports bring a genuine risk of dental injury. At Trower Dental, we provide custom-fitted mouthguards in Darwin to help reduce the impact of these incidents while ensuring comfort during play.
Each mouthguard is shaped to your bite, offering a more secure and wearable fit than standard store-bought options. With consistent thickness and tailored coverage, they are suitable for children and adults alike, whether for school competitions or weekend sport.
Investing in a good mouthguard now can help you avoid more complex dental care later. Call us on (08) 8945 4022 to make your appointment.
Helping To Protect Your Smile
Mouthguards are a simple way to safeguard your smile during contact sports and physical activities. Whether you're on the field or in the ring, our custom-fitted mouthguards are designed to offer effective protection and reduce injury risk in several key ways:
- Absorb and Disperse Impact: A well-fitted mouthguard cushions your teeth against direct hits, helping to reduce the risk of chipped, cracked or knocked-out teeth.
- Support the Jaw and Neck: By stabilising your jaw, mouthguards can help reduce strain on the neck and lower jaw during sudden impact.
- Protect Soft Tissues and Joints: They form a barrier that reduces injury to the cheeks, lips, and jaw joints in the event of a collision.
- Reduce Concussion Risk: Custom mouthguards may help minimise concussion by absorbing shock that would otherwise be transferred to the head.
- Fit Matters: Custom-fitted mouthguards provide better comfort and coverage than over-the-counter options, offering consistent protection.
Wearing a custom mouthguard is one of the most effective ways to protect your teeth, jaw and overall oral health during sports. Ask us about our custom mouthguards today.
Why Opt For Custom Mouthguards?
Custom mouthguards provide a level of fit and protection that over-the-counter options often lack. Because they’re made to suit the unique shape of your teeth and gums, they offer a secure fit that stays in place during high-impact activities. This helps reduce the risk of dental injuries and makes them more comfortable to wear.
Over-the-counter mouthguards, such as boil-and-bite types, are a one-size-fits-all solution that may not provide adequate coverage or cushioning. They can feel bulky, shift easily, and lack the thickness needed in key areas to absorb force effectively. Poor fit can also affect breathing and speech during sport.
Our custom mouthguards are made with durable materials and tailored to suit a wide range of sports. They’re designed to help cushion your teeth against impact, protect soft tissues, and reduce the risk of jaw and joint injuries. Choosing a custom fit means better protection and improved comfort.
Who should wear a mouthguard?
Anyone who plays contact or high-impact sports, including rugby, hockey, football, basketball, and boxing, should wear a mouthguard to reduce the risk of dental injuries. They're also advisable for activities with fall risks, like skateboarding or gymnastics. Children, teenagers, and adults can all benefit from wearing one. Even recreational athletes are at risk of mouth trauma, so protection should be a priority regardless of age or skill level.
Are mouthguards necessary for non-contact sports?
While mouthguards are essential for contact sports, they can also be beneficial in non-contact sports where accidental impact or falls may occur. Activities such as cycling, skateboarding, gymnastics, or horse riding carry a risk of dental injury. A fall or a stray elbow can cause serious damage to teeth or gums. Wearing a mouthguard in these situations adds an extra layer of protection and peace of mind during physical activity.
Can you wear a mouthguard with braces?
Yes, you can wear a mouthguard with braces. In fact, it’s highly recommended for anyone with orthodontic appliances who participates in sports. A mouthguard helps protect both the teeth and braces from injury or impact. Specially designed orthodontic mouthguards are available to accommodate brackets and wires, offering comfort and protection without interfering with your treatment. Proper fit and regular checks are important as teeth move throughout the orthodontic process.
