Custom Mouthguards in Townsville

Why Wear a Mouthguard?

Dental injuries are among the most common injuries in sport in Townsville and across Australia. The Australian Dental Association (ADA) estimates that approximately one-third of all dental injuries are sports-related, with an unprotected athlete being 60 times more likely to suffer a dental injury than one wearing a properly fitted mouthguard. A dental injury can cost thousands of dollars to treat over a lifetime and may require ongoing maintenance. A custom mouthguard is a simple, affordable investment that provides superior protection.

Custom Sports Mouthguards

Our custom sports mouthguards are fabricated from precise impressions of your teeth using high-quality EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) material. The result is a mouthguard that:

• Fits precisely — stays in place without biting or clenching
• Protects effectively — even thickness and density where it matters most
• Allows normal breathing and speech — unlike bulky store-bought alternatives
• Comes in your team colours — customise with colours and patterns

How Are Custom Mouthguards Made?

1. We take precise impressions of your teeth (10 minutes)
2. A custom mouthguard is fabricated in our laboratory
3. You return for fitting and adjustment (usually within a week)
4. The finished mouthguard is ready to wear

Night Guards (Occlusal Splints)

What Is Bruxism?

Bruxism is the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, typically during sleep. The Australian Dental Association estimates that approximately 8 to 10 per cent of adults grind their teeth regularly. Over time, bruxism can cause:

• Worn, flattened, or cracked teeth
• Tooth sensitivity
• Jaw pain and TMJ disorders
• Morning headaches
• Disrupted sleep

How a Night Guard Helps

A custom occlusal splint provides a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing the damage caused by grinding. It also helps relax the jaw muscles, reducing pain and tension. Our night guards are fabricated from durable, comfortable materials and are designed for long-term nightly use.
