Gumshields

A study in the Journal of the American Dental Association found that up to 39% of dental injuries are sports related. What’s more, the British Orthodontic Society reported that around a quarter of UK children will have problems with their front teeth as a result of a sporting incident.

So, if you plan to play sports during orthodontic treatment, it’s especially important to protect your teeth and appliance! That’s where a custom gumshield can help. Our gumshields can provide 4 mm of protection to reduce any impact on your teeth.

It’s important to use a custom mouthguard as opposed to a genetic over-the-counter one, because otherwise it won’t take your orthodontic appliance into account. Our team can ensure your gumshields fit perfectly over your appliance for optimal protection.
