Real protection, made to actually fit

Store-bought, boil-and-bite mouthguards are often too big and difficult to wear, and most parents aren’t trained to adjust them properly. A custom mouthguard stays in place during activity, so you can speak and breathe comfortably without gagging.

Mouthguards can’t directly prevent concussions or spinal injuries, but they can help break the chain of events that leads to loss of consciousness by lessening the trauma inflicted to the head and jaw.

Why Amherstburg Dental

How It’s Made

Built around your smile

Custom-Fit Protection

Made from a dental impression using a pudding-like alginate material that captures the contours of your upper teeth, then a sheet of mouthguard plastic is vacuum-formed over the model, trimmed, and polished.

Built for Braces

Our TotalGard Athletic Mouthguards are designed specifically for braced patients, fitting over braces and orthodontic appliances like palatal expanders and retainers.

Custom Beats Store-Bought

Fit that actually stays put

Boil-and-bite mouthguards are often too big and difficult to wear, and many parents aren’t trained to adjust them properly. A custom mouthguard is built to your bite, so it stays in place through the whole game.
The Process

What to expect

01

Impression

We take a dental impression using a pudding-like alginate material that captures the contours of your upper teeth.

02

Vacuum-Forming

A sheet of mouthguard plastic is vacuum-formed over the model of your teeth.

03

Trim & Polish

The finished mouthguard is trimmed and polished for a comfortable, precise fit.

04

Annual Replacement

Because kids grow quickly and mouthguards wear down, we recommend having a new one made every year.

Hockey, baseball, football, and mixed martial arts all put teeth and jaws at real risk. A properly fitted mouthguard protects teeth, lips, cheeks, tongue, and jaw, and helps lessen the trauma of a hard hit.
