Keeping Smiles Bright and Affordable

What are mouthguards?

Mouthguards are protective devices that are worn over the teeth to prevent injuries during high-impact activities or contact sports. Our custom mouthguards are designed to suit snugly, offering superior protection in comparison to store-bought alternatives.

Advantages of Custom Mouthguards:

Enhanced Protection: Engineered to absorb and disseminate impact, thereby minimising the likelihood of jaw injuries or fractured teeth.
Custom-molded to your teeth for optimal security and comfort.
Durability: Constructed from premium materials to withstand repeated use.
Enhanced Performance: The comfortable fit enables you to speak and breathe effortlessly while donning it.

What are night guards?

Night guards are specially designed devices that are worn during sleep to prevent damage caused by bruxism (teeth grinding) or clenching. Custom night guards are effective in reducing discomfort and preventing long-term dental issues by alleviating the pressure on your teeth and mandible.

Advantages of Custom Night Guards:

Prevents Tooth Damage: Guards against enamel loss, fractures, and attrition that are a result of grinding.
Alleviates jaw discomfort: Reduces the strain on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the muscles that surround it.
Enhances the Quality of Sleep: Minimises the disruptions that are the result of grinding or gripping.
Long-Lasting Comfort: Engineered to conform to your bite, guaranteeing that you will remain comfortable throughout the night.
