Sports-related dental injuries are far more common than many people realize. Thousands of athletes each year experience preventable dental trauma. Consequences of failing to wear proper protective gear can be severe and long-lasting, ranging from chipped and fractured teeth to jaw fractures and soft tissue injuries.
 

A sports mouthguard acts as a vital barrier. It shields teeth from impact, absorbs and distributes force, thereby lowering injury risk. A sports mouthguard protects not only teeth, but also the lips, tongue and jaw. It helps avoid costly dental emergencies and preserves your natural smile.
 

The importance of sports mouthguards is not limited to contact sports such as boxing, martial arts and rugby. Facial injury risks also exist in activities including cycling, skateboarding and basketball. Mouth protection for children during sports is especially critical, as young athletes are more prone to accidents and their developing teeth require extra protection. Athletes undergoing orthodontic treatment with brackets should specifically consult for custom-fabricated sports mouthguards, since generic off-the-shelf mouthguards may not fit properly over orthodontic brackets.

Custom Mouthguards vs. Stock Mouthguards

Although over-the-counter stock mouthguards may seem convenient and affordable, they often fail to deliver adequate protection and comfort. Stock mouthguards generally have poor fit, are bulky and uncomfortable to wear. They may easily come loose during sports activities, which can instead raise the risk of injury.

Our custom sports mouthguards offer remarkable advantages. These professionally made mouthguards are fabricated from impressions of your unique dental anatomy to ensure perfect adaptation and secure retention. Custom mouthguards provide superior protection while allowing clear speech and unobstructed breathing, helping athletes perform at their best.

FAQ

How long does a Reborn custom sports mouthguard last? 
With proper care and regular use, a custom sports mouthguard typically lasts 1–3 years. Its service life depends on usage intensity and the athlete’s age. Children may need more frequent replacements as their oral structures develop.
 

Can I wear a custom sports mouthguard if I have orthodontic brackets?
 Yes. Sports mouthguards can be specially designed to fit over orthodontic brackets and other dental appliances. Mouthguards are especially critical for athletes undergoing orthodontic treatment, since metal brackets may cause additional injury under impact during sports.
 

How to clean a sports mouthguard? 
After each use, clean the mouthguard with cold water and antibacterial soap or dedicated mouthguard cleaner. Dry it and store it in its case. Do not wash it with hot water, as heat may deform the mouthguard.
 

Which sports require a mouthguard? 
Mouthguards are usually mandatory in contact sports such as boxing, martial arts, karate, taekwondo and rugby. However, we recommend wearing a sports mouthguard for any activity with risk of facial impact or falls, including basketball, skateboarding and cycling.
 

Will a sports mouthguard affect breathing or speech?
A well-fitted custom sports mouthguard should not significantly affect breathing or speech. Unlike bulky off-the-shelf mouthguards, professionally fabricated mouthguards maintain normal oral function while delivering protection.
