At First Impressions Dental, custom mouthguards may be recommended for patients who want better protection for their teeth, gums and jaw during sport or other high impact activities. A well fitted mouthguard is designed to sit more securely, feel more comfortable and provide more reliable protection than a generic over the counter option.
What is a custom mouthguard?
A custom mouthguard is a protective dental appliance made from an impression or scan of your teeth. Because it is shaped specifically to your bite, it is designed to fit closely and stay more secure during activity. Custom mouthguards are commonly worn for contact sports, school sport, martial arts and other activities where there is a risk of collision or falls.
For many patients, the biggest difference is fit. A mouthguard that fits properly is generally easier to wear consistently, which is important when the goal is reducing the risk of dental injury.
Why patients choose custom mouthguards?
Store bought mouthguards are often tried first, but many people stop using them because they feel bulky, slip during play or make it harder to breathe and speak comfortably. A custom mouthguard is designed to address those issues by being made specifically for your teeth and your bite.
Patients often choose a custom mouthguard because it may offer:
- a better fit matched to your teeth and bite
- more comfort during play
- less bulk and less gagging
- easier breathing and speaking
- more reliable protection against impact
- greater confidence that the mouthguard will stay in place

Who may benefit from a custom mouthguard?
Custom mouthguards may be especially helpful for:
- children and teenagers playing school or weekend sport
- adults involved in contact sports or regular training
- anyone who has had previous dental trauma
- patients who want to protect crowns, veneers or other dental work
- people who find store bought mouthguards uncomfortable or unreliable
A properly fitted mouthguard can be a worthwhile option for anyone who wants stronger protection and a guard they are more likely to wear consistently.
Why a good fit matters?
A mouthguard only helps if it is worn properly. If it feels loose, bulky or uncomfortable, patients are far less likely to keep it in during training or competition. That is why fit matters so much.
A custom mouthguard is designed around your teeth, your bite and your sport. This allows the fit, comfort and thickness to be considered more carefully, helping balance protection with wearability.
What to expect from the process?
Getting a custom mouthguard is usually a simple appointment process.
- Assessment and suitability
Your teeth and bite are checked, and your sport or activity is discussed, including comfort and durability needs. - Impression or digital scan
A precise record of your teeth is taken so the mouthguard can be made to fit snugly and securely. - Fabrication and finishing
The mouthguard is made using materials designed for sport protection. - Fitting and guidance
The fit and comfort are checked, and you are shown how to wear, clean and store the mouthguard properly.
Care, storage and replacement
To help keep your mouthguard hygienic and in good condition, it should be rinsed after use, cleaned gently with a soft brush and stored in a ventilated case away from heat. It is also a good idea to bring it to your check ups so the fit and wear can be reviewed.
Children and teenagers may need replacement mouthguards more often as their teeth and bite continue to change. Adults may also need a new mouthguard after orthodontic changes, significant dental work or visible wear.
