Shield Mouthguards
Why get a custom Shield Mouthguard?
There are two main types of mouthguards available today. Generic mouthguards are bought in a chemist or sports supply store, whereas those constructed by a dental professional are made specifically for the athlete. The evidence is overwhelmingly showing the superiority of those provided by dental professionals.

3D Scanned impression
Using the latest in technology, we use a 3D scanner to take the moulds. That means no more messy goo in a try held in your mouth while it dries. It is almost touch free, so a great option for athletes who have braces.
This gives a more accurate fit with less chance of dislodgement.
Shield mouthguards are measured, constructed and fitted by a Dental Prosthetist. Meaning years of training and technology are put into each mouthguard. It also means we can do a fast turn around if there is an emergency.
They are also claimable under Private Health Insurance.
Digital copies of your scan are held in file, so replacements can be made without the need to visit the clinic.
We also offer a club, gym or school visit for groups of athletes in need.
All 3 types are 100% customisable.
**While providing the best type of protection available, there is no 100 % guarantee against possible injury.
