Mouthguards
Protect Your Teeth and Smile with Custom Mouthguards
Mouthguards are protective dental devices designed to cover and cushion the teeth and gums, helping to reduce the risk of dental injuries during sports and other activities where there is a risk of impact to the mouth.
At Brite Dental, we provide custom-made mouthguards that are professionally designed and individually fitted to your mouth. A precise fit helps ensure the mouthguard remains comfortable and secure while providing effective protection for your teeth and surrounding oral tissues.
Types of Mouthguards: Night Guards vs Sports Mouthguards
Night Guards (for Bruxism) – Night guards are designed to protect your teeth from the effects of teeth grinding and clenching while you sleep. They help reduce excessive tooth wear, protect your teeth from damage, and they may also help reduce discomfort associated with jaw clenching and grinding.
Sports Mouthguards – Sports mouthguards are designed to protect your teeth, gums and other oral structures from injury during contact sports and other activities where there is a higher risk of dental trauma. A properly fitted mouthguard helps to cushion impact and reduce the risk of chipped, fractured or knocked-out teeth.
The right type of mouthguard will depend on your individual needs and how you intend to use it. Our dentist can assess your oral health and recommend the most suitable mouthguard for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to your most common questions about mouthguards and their benefits.
Custom mouthguards provide two key forms of protection. They help protect your teeth, gums and jaw from impact during contact and high-impact sports, while night guards can help protect your teeth from excessive wear caused by grinding or clenching (bruxism) while you sleep.
Anyone who participates in contact or high-impact sports can benefit from a professionally fitted sports mouthguard. A custom night guard may also be recommended for people who grind or clench their teeth, particularly if they experience morning jaw soreness, frequent headaches or noticeable tooth wear.
After each use, rinse your mouthguard thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water. You can also gently clean it with a soft toothbrush and mild soap, as recommended by your dentist. Once clean, allow it to air dry before storing it in a clean, ventilated protective case. Avoid hot or boiling water, as heat can distort the mouthguard and affect its fit.
Yes. Custom night guards are specifically designed for comfortable overnight use. They are made from durable, lightweight materials and are individually fitted to your teeth, allowing you to wear them comfortably while you sleep. If you experience discomfort or notice any changes in your bite, speak with our dentist at Brite Dental so the fit can be assessed.
With proper care, regular cleaning and appropriate storage, a quality custom mouthguard can last for several years. However, its lifespan depends on factors such as how frequently you wear it and the extent of any grinding or clenching.
