Custom Sports Mouthguards
The Australian Dental Association (ADA) strongly recommends wearing a custom-fitted mouthguard during any sport or activity that carries a risk of impact to the face. A collision with a ball, sports equipment, another player or even a fall can cause serious damage to the teeth & jaws — including chipped, cracked or knocked-out teeth, cuts to the lips or cheeks, or even a fractured jaw.
A professionally fitted mouthguard helps absorb the force of impact, reducing the severity of injuries & lowering the chance of needing an emergency dentist.
Night Splints for Teeth Grinding & TMJ Disorder
Teeth grinding is a common condition often linked to stress, sleep issues or lifestyle factors. If you find yourself grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw — whether during the day or at night, we recommend booking an appointment with your dentist. When left untreated, this can progress to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD), causing ongoing discomfort & functional issues.
A custom night splint provides a protective barrier between the teeth, helping prevent chipping, fracturing, loosening or excessive wear. It can also help reduce pressure on the jaw joints, offering relief from stiffness, discomfort & related TMJ symptoms.
Oral Appliances for OSA
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common chronic sleep disorder where the airway temporarily collapses or becomes blocked during sleep, causing interruptions to normal breathing. OSA can be linked to several factors, including:
- Nasal obstruction
- Enlarged tonsils
- Smoking
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Obesity
A custom oral appliance can help relieve symptoms in mild to moderate cases of OSA. The appliance gently moves the lower jaw forward to open the airway, reducing obstruction & minimising vibration — the main cause of snoring. Your dentist can provide a referral to a sleep study specialist for a diagnosis and combined care plan.

People Also Ask
-
Are all mouthguards the same?
If you’ve only used store-bought mouthguards before, you may associate them with discomfort or difficulty speaking or breathing. While any mouthguard offers some level of protection, a custom-fitted mouthguard provides a noticeably higher level of comfort & safety.
Because it’s moulded precisely to your teeth & bite, a custom mouthguard is:
- More comfortable & less bulky
- Less likely to affect your speech, breathing & athletic performance
- More effective at absorbing impact & protecting teeth, gums & the jaw. A custom mouthguard is also recommended if you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment or if you have protruding teeth, where extra protection is essential.
