Custom Mouth Guards for Bruxism
Clenching and grinding teeth can often be due to stress, and may cause headaches and jaw stiffness or jaw pain, as well as tooth wear. Once the outer hard tooth enamel surface is worn away, the underlying softer dentine is exposed. Dentine will wear away faster than enamel and can lead to tooth sensitivity. Custom made mouthguards can be used to limit damage to teeth caused by tooth wear due to clenching or grinding and help relax tension in facial muscles thus providing relief.

Sports Mouth Guards
Whether you’re a schoolchild or adult, custom made sports mouth guards should always be worn for sports that involve physical contact or moving objects, so as to prevent traumatic damage to teeth and jaws while playing. We offer custom made sports mouth guards in a variety of colours. These are suitable as a boxing mouth guard as well as for a variety of other sports including hockey and rugby. Some people call these mouth guards a shock guard.
