Play Hard. Stay Protected.
Sport MouthGuards
While over-the-counter “boil and bite” mouthguards may seem convenient, they can’t match the protection, comfort, or durability of a professionally made guard. Here’s why going custom is worth it:
- Perfect Fit: Made using a precise digital scan of your mouth — no bulky or loose areas.
- Better Performance: Easier to talk, breathe, and hydrate during play.
- Lasts Longer: High-grade materials resist wear and tear from heavy use.
- More Protection: Designed specifically for the intensity and contact level of your sport.
- Less Risk: Studies show that athletes with custom guards experience fewer dental injuries.
Custom sports mouthguards help protect much more than just your teeth. They’re designed to cushion impact and reduce the risk of:
- Chipped, fractured, or knocked-out teeth
- Cut lips, cheeks, and gums
- Jaw fractures or dislocations
- Concussions (by absorbing some impact forces)
- Braces damage or soft tissue injuries in orthodontic patients
For athletes looking for extra performance tracking, we also offer the ORB Sport™ Smart Mouthguard, a tech-forward option that monitors movement, impact, and other vital performance data — while still protecting your smile.
Protect Your Teeth While You Sleep
Night Guards for Teeth Grinding
There’s no single cause, but teeth grinding is often linked to:
- Stress or anxiety
- Sleep disorders like sleep apnea
- Misaligned teeth or bite
- Lifestyle factors like caffeine or alcohol intake
Whether the cause is stress or structural, grinding wears away enamel and can lead to serious dental problems if left untreated.
A night guard (also called an occlusal guard or bite splint) creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth. It absorbs pressure and minimizes friction while you sleep.
Benefits of a Custom Night Guard:
- Cushions your bite to prevent damage to teeth and dental restorations
- Reduces jaw tension and TMJ pain
- Helps prevent cracked or sensitive teeth
- Built from durable, medical-grade material that outlasts store-bought guards
Unlike over-the-counter night guards, our custom-fitted option is crafted using digital scans for a perfect fit — no boil-and-bite discomfort, no slipping, and no interference with sleep.
- Consultation & Digital Scan: We assess your symptoms and take a quick, mess-free scan of your bite.
- Custom Fabrication: Your guard is created from high-quality materials to fit precisely and comfortably.
