1. What's the difference between a mouthguard and a night mouthguard?

A sports mouthguard protects teeth from impact during activities, while a night mouthguard protects teeth from grinding and clenching during sleep. Both are custom made mouthguard solutions, but differ in thickness and design based on their protective purpose.

2. Why choose a custom made mouthguard over a store-bought one?

Custom mouthguards from our Toowoomba dental practice offer superior fit, comfort, and protection. Our custom fit mouth guard is created from precise dental impressions, ensuring it stays secure and provides optimal protection. Store-bought guards are often bulky, ill-fitting, and less effective.

3. How long does a custom mouthguard last?

With proper care, a custom made mouthguard for sports lasts 1-3 years. A night mouthguard may last 1-5 years. Bring your mouthguard to regular check-ups for condition assessment.

4. Can a night mouthguard help with TMJ pain and headaches?

Yes! A properly fitted night mouthguard significantly reduces symptoms from teeth grinding and TMJ disorders. Our custom mouthguards relieve jaw tension, reduce headaches, and protect tooth enamel.

5. How do I care for my custom mouthguards?

Rinse your mouthguard for grinding teeth or sports with cool water after use, brush gently with mild soap, and store in a ventilated case. Avoid hot water. Bring your custom fit mouth guard to dental appointments for professional cleaning and inspection.
