Tailored Protection
Maitland Custom Mouthguards
Custom mouthguards are designed to protect the teeth, gums, and jaw from impact during physical activity. At ProCare Dental Australia in Maitland, mouthguards are individually moulded to the patient’s dental structure using precision impressions. This provides a secure fit, better comfort, and greater shock absorption than over-the-counter alternatives. They are commonly used in contact sports and by individuals with a history of clenching or bruxism.
Unlike generic store-bought options, custom mouthguards stay in place during use and do not interfere with breathing or speaking. ProCare Dental Australia manufactures all mouthguards on-site, allowing for detailed personalisation, including colour and team branding if required. The clinic also supports local sporting clubs by providing fitted mouthguards for adult and junior teams.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a custom mouthguard better than a store-bought one?
Custom mouthguards are made from precise dental impressions, offering a snug fit and better retention. They are less bulky, more comfortable, and provide greater shock absorption than store-bought options. This reduces the risk of dental injury and improves wearability during sports. Generic mouthguards often shift during use, limit airflow, and may interfere with speech or concentration.
How often should I replace my mouthguard?
Mouthguards should generally be replaced every 12 months or sooner if there is visible wear, damage, or changes in the fit. For children and teens, replacements may be needed more frequently due to growth and changes in dentition. Regular assessments help determine if the mouthguard still offers adequate protection and hygiene.
Can mouthguards help with teeth grinding?
Yes, specialised nightguards (also called occlusal splints) are designed to protect teeth from grinding during sleep. They differ from sports mouthguards in material and design. Nightguards are made from more rigid materials and are fitted to keep the jaw aligned while preventing tooth wear. They may also help reduce jaw pain caused by bruxism or TMJ disorders.
Preventive Solutions
Sports & Night Protection
Mouthguards are recommended for both recreational and competitive sports, especially those involving contact, high speed, or risk of falls. They help reduce the risk of dental trauma, including chipped teeth, soft tissue injury, and jaw damage. Custom options are also suitable for individuals with sleep-related grinding (bruxism) or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) concerns, with different thicknesses and materials available to meet varying needs.

The fitting process begins with a consultation and impression-taking, followed by fabrication using high-impact materials suited to the intended use. Sport mouthguards differ from nightguards in structure and flexibility, and a dental prosthetist can recommend the best type for each case. Regular maintenance and periodic assessment help ensure continued protection and comfort. Mouthguards should be replaced if damaged, outgrown, or showing signs of wear.
