At Arthur Street Dental in Coffs Harbour, we believe in protecting your smile with the highest standard of care. Whether you're an athlete safeguarding against sports injuries, or seeking relief from nightly teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw pain, a high-quality mouthguard is essential. Not all mouthguards are created equal, however. Let's explore the options:
Understanding Mouthguard Types
Stock Mouthguards
Stock mouthguards are pre-made and ready to wear. They are inexpensive and available at most sporting goods stores but often provide a poor fit and limited protection.
Boil-and-Bite Mouthguards
Boil-and-bite mouthguards can be customised to some extent. You soften them in hot water and then bite into them to create an impression. They offer a better fit than stock mouthguards but are still not as effective as custom-fitted options.
Custom-Fitted Mouthguards
Custom-fitted mouthguards are made specifically for your mouth by a dental professional. They offer the best fit, comfort, and protection. At Arthur Street Dental, we create custom mouthguards tailored to your individual needs, ensuring maximum protection.
The good news is that many Australian private health funds provide coverage for custom-fitted mouthguards!
