Mouthguards During and After Orthodontic Treatment
Protecting your teeth during sports is important — especially during orthodontic treatment. At Smiles for Life, we provide custom-fit mouthguards to help keep your smile safe.
If you play contact sports while wearing braces or aligners, we can provide a custom mouthguard at the start of your treatment. This protects your teeth and orthodontic appliances from impact, keeping your treatment on track and your smile safe.
Mouthguards After Treatment
Even after your orthodontic treatment is complete and your new smile is revealed, protecting it during sports is essential.
Custom-fit mouthguards are strongly recommended for:
Contact sports
AFL, rugby, hockey, and martial arts
Sports considered non-contact
Basketball, netball, soccer, and cricket
Why Choose a Custom -Fit Mouthguard?
The Australian Dental Association recommends custom-fit mouthguards because:
They provide a personalised fit for maximum protection
Easier to speak and breathe with compared to boil-and-bite options
They absorb and distribute impact forces, reducing the risk of dental trauma
For us, orthodontics isn’t just about straightening teeth, it’s about creating real, lasting confidence. Many of our patients are referred by family and friends, and some families have trusted us for two or three generations. At Smiles for Life, you’ll be greeted with a warm smile every visit and leave with one too.
