Don't risk it on impact, protect it with a custom-made mouthguard!
Accidents happen, especially when it comes to contact or high impact sports. At Batemans Bay Orthodontics we want to ensure your teeth and orthodontic appliances are protected from any unexpected accidents on the sporting field. We offer a range of custom-made mouthguard that is effective, more comfortable and can be re-moulded by our specialist orthodontist as your treatment journey progresses.
What are Custom-Made Mouthguards?
Our mouthguards are appliances that are made to fit your mouth and provide protection to your teeth and jaw joints against injuries that occur while playing sports.
At Batemans Bay Orthodontics, we recommend mouthguards for active children and adults, especially for boxing, soccer, hockey and football, as sport is one of the most common causes of dental injury.
