What Are Mouthguards?
Mouthguards are protective devices worn over the teeth to prevent injury to the teeth, gums, and jaw. They act as a cushion, absorbing impact during sports, physical activities, or other situations where dental trauma might occur.
While you can buy generic guards at a chemist, they often fall short when it matters most. A custom mouthguard from our Brisbane clinic is the gold standard because it is made by a dentist and is tailored to fit your teeth perfectly. They help reduce the risk of chipped or broken teeth, jaw injuries, and soft tissue damage while allowing you to speak and breathe comfortably.
Who Needs a Custom Mouthguard?
Mouthguards are recommended for various situations, including:
Sports Protection: Ideal for athletes who play contact sports like football, rugby, boxing, or basketball.
Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Custom nightguards protect your teeth from the harmful effects of teeth grinding while you sleep.
Jaw Protection: For those who experience jaw discomfort or have a history of jaw injuries.
Whether you need a mouthguard for sports, teeth grinding, or jaw protection, Springfield Dental is here to help. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and get your custom mouthguard made for the best fit and protection. Call (07) 3818 9100 or book your appointment online now!
Types of Mouthguards
Finding the Right Fit at Springfield Dental
Selecting the right protection is essential for keeping your teeth, jaw, and gums safe during physical activity. Not all mouthguards are created equal. At Springfield Dental, we help you understand the differences so you can make an informed choice for your dental safety.
Custom Mouthguards
At Springfield Dental, our experienced dentists create custom mouthguards specifically for your mouth, providing the highest level of protection, comfort, and durability. These mouthguards are ideal for athletes or anyone needing reliable, professional dental protection.
Using high-precision impressions, we ensure the guard fits snugly over every contour of your teeth. Because it fits perfectly, it won’t fall out during impact, allowing you to breathe and speak without restriction.
Boil-and-Bite Mouthguards
Available at most sporting goods stores, these are softened in hot water and then shaped around your teeth by biting down. They offer moderate protection but may not fit as precisely as custom options.
Stock Mouthguards
Pre-formed and ready to wear, these are the least expensive option. They provide basic protection but are often bulky, less comfortable, and may not fit well, which can make breathing or speaking more difficult.
How to Choose the Right Mouthguard
Choosing the right mouthguard is essential to protect your teeth, gums, and jaw during sports or other activities. Consider the following factors:
Level of Protection Needed
High-contact sports like football, hockey, or boxing require the strongest protection. For lower-contact activities, a simpler mouthguard may suffice.
Fit and Comfort
A well-fitting mouthguard stays securely in place and feels comfortable in your mouth, allowing you to breathe and speak easily. Custom mouthguards made by a dentist offer the best fit.
Material Quality
Look for durable, impact-resistant materials that can withstand repeated use and provide reliable protection.
Age and Size
Mouthguards come in sizes for children, teens, and adults. Ensuring the right size helps maximise protection and comfort.

How to Keep Your Custom Mouthguard Clean
Proper care is key to keeping your custom mouthguard effective and hygienic. After every use, rinse it with cool water and gently brush it with a soft toothbrush. Always store your mouthguard in a ventilated case to prevent damage and bacterial growth, and avoid chewing on it, as this can reduce its protective ability. Bring your mouthguard to your regular dental check-ups so your dentist can inspect it for wear and ensure it still fits properly. Over time, even the best mouthguards can wear down, so replace it if you notice cracks, holes, or a loose fit. Following these steps helps keep your mouthguard in top condition, ready to protect your smile during every activity.
