Types of Mouthguards We Provide
We offer a range of custom mouthguards to protect your teeth, reduce discomfort, and support your oral health. Each is tailored to your needs for the best fit and protection.
Sports Mouthguards
Designed for contact sports like rugby, boxing, and hockey. These thick, shock-absorbing guards help prevent broken teeth, jaw injuries, and soft tissue damage. Made to fit comfortably and stay secure during intense activity.
Night Guards for Teeth Grinding
Also called bruxism guards, these are slim and comfortable to wear while sleeping. They prevent tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches caused by grinding or clenching during the night.
Mouthguards for Braces or Aligners
Specially shaped to fit over orthodontic appliances. These guards protect both your teeth and braces from impact and irritation, while ensuring a snug, safe fit for active patients.
The grinding and clenching of teeth — or bruxism — is a subtle, but potentially harmful, problem that often goes undetected for years. Patients are generally unaware that they grind their teeth in their sleep, but often wake with mouth sores, a tight jaw, or a constant, dull headache. Grinding and clenching during the night can cause excessive wear on the teeth, leading to tooth damage and, sometimes, other oral complications.
Wearing a mouthguard protects the surface of the teeth from damage due to grinding and can reduce the impact of clenching on the gums. Inserting a mouthguard at night can help patients learn not to grind their teeth, resulting in fewer headaches and mouth sores. The price of a night guard is approximately £169.
Sports guards are recommended for anyone who regularly participates in high-impact activities like rugby, football, or cricket, as these sports can lead to mouth injuries that may require emergency dental care. Typically, a sports guard covers the upper teeth to prevent breakages and protect the inside of your mouth. If you have braces or bridges on your lower teeth, you may need a guard that provides extra coverage for additional protection.
Customise Your Mouthguard
Both our night and sports guards are available in a range of colours and designs to suit all personal tastes — you could choose the colour of your favourite sports team or, for something different, opt for a glittered colour.
We offer mouthguards in almost 30 different colours, in a range of patterns and with a variety of graphics — including stripes, text, and popular cartoon characters — meaning you can choose a mouthguard that showcases your personality and that you’ll enjoy wearing.
Benefits of a Custom-Fitted Mouthguard
Optimal Protection: The snug fit absorbs and disperses impact effectively.
Enhanced Comfort: Fewer adjustments and no bulky feel compared to one-size-fits-all guards.
Longevity: High-quality materials resist wear, providing lasting value.
Better Performance: Athletes can breathe and speak more easily, maintaining focus during play.
Getting Started with Your Mouthguard
- Whatever your mouthguard needs, the first step is to get in touch with us to book a consultation and fitting appointment. We pride ourselves on the service that we offer our patients, aiming to deliver a service we’d want to receive ourselves. We understand that everyone’s needs are unique, so we’ll discuss what you want and talk you through the options available.
- Every mouthguard we produce is custom-made to fit a patient’s teeth. At your appointment, we’ll take impressions of your teeth using a putty that is quickly and easily inserted into the mouth. We will then send your teeth moulds to a lab to be manufactured and let you know when your new mouthguard is ready.
Receiving Your Guard
Your guard will be available to collect approximately two weeks after your initial appointment. Once you have your guard, we will give you instructions on how to use it.
Night guards should be worn every night until the symptoms of grinding and clenching subside, but can also be used regularly to prevent any future problems with grinding. Sports guards should be used throughout the duration of play for high-risk sports.
To prevent the spread of infections and gum disease, you should always keep your mouthguard clean. After each use, wash your guard with lukewarm water, and make sure to dry it thoroughly afterwards. Store your guard in its container in a cool, dry place.
Special Designs
Impress your teammates and opponents with one of our special designs. Colours can be substituted for an alternative colour within our standard range.
If you really want to stand out from the crowd, why not customise your guard with one of our decals, your club emblem, or even your own design? The decals can be applied to any of our clear, coloured, striped, or special mouthguards.
Once you have chosen your design from the extensive range, make an appointment with Dr Dhody to discuss your requirements further. Dr Dhody will take an impression of your mouth and recommend the type and thickness of mouthguard for the sports or activity you participate in. Your mouthguard will then be made by a qualified dental technician using the latest technology to ensure a perfect fit.

Anti- Snoring Appliance
An anti-snoring appliance is a device that fits over your teeth while you sleep to help reduce snoring and the risk of obstructive sleep apnea.
It works by that works by holding the lower jaw in a forward position, preventing it from dropping back during sleep and obstructing the airway.
