Up to 39% of dental injuries are sports-related. Severe Dental Trauma is 60 times more likely without a mouthguard - and yet only 1 in 4 play contact sports with a custom mouthguard.
Your child’s smile is priceless. Whether they're playing football, basketball, soccer, or any high-impact sport, the risks of dental injuries are real. Protecting their teeth, gums, and jaw with a custom-fitted mouthguard can save you thousands in dental bills—and ensure your child’s smile remains healthy and confident. We believe it is strongly worth the $195 investment.
At Marius Street Family Dental, we make professional, custom-fitted sports mouthguards tailored to fit your teeth and jaw perfectly. They are dual or triple layer comprised of a hard layer and a soft layer. The hard layer distributes the impact across a greater surface area, and the soft layer is for shock absorption.
We make sure our mouthguards extend all the way to cover the bone above the teeth, which is where we want to spread the impact. Only trained people can take impressions of this quality.
If it doesn’t fit exactly to your teeth and jaws, there will be a bit of air between, which means the force doesn’t spread evenly. Studies have shown that over-the-counter mouthguards can be equal to wearing no mouthguard, or even worse.
By adjusting the mouthguard to the contours of your mouth and the snug fit balances your bite and allows speech and normal breathing. Studies show that a good mouthguard does not impede an athlete’s performance, however a poorly fitted one does. It also means that you’re much more likely to be wearing your mouthguard when you need it most.
It has been reported that in severe trauma, poorly fitted mouthguards can slip off and lodge in the back of the throat, which is life threatening.
Made from high-quality materials, our mouthguards are built to withstand intense physical activity and last years.
Knowing they’re protected lets your child focus on their game, not their safety.
Choose your own colours and get your name and/or your teams name on the inside.
Dental Trauma can cost $5,000 to $20,000 - a far cry from the $195 investment for a professionally-made mouthguard.

Read about Tash’s experience after playing sport with both types below.
I have been playing hockey since I could walk. Through my time playing I have mainly worn the chemist self mouldable mouth guards. These mouth guards where great for the first game but the more games I played,the more uncomfortable they became. I found that they would fall apart and no longer fit my mouth correctly. They always seemed to restrict my breathing and ability to communicate with fellow team mates and fall out from a simple bump or having my mouth open".
"I then had a professional mouth guard made and have never gone back. I love it, so comfortable! I also have a permanent bonded retainer (after braces) on my teeth and have no issue with it fitting. It fits my mouth perfectly and does not fall out even if my mouth is open. I found them easier to play in as they didn’t move from my teeth, they allowed me to clearly communicate with players and breath easily. I felt a lot safer playing in a professional mouth guard as I knew they were thicker and able to absorb a hit. I highly recommend a mouthguard made for your teeth by a professional. They also do pretty cool colour combos!"
