Mouth Guard Calgary

Custom vs. Store-Bought Mouth Guards

Custom Mouth Guards

• • Personalized dental device, molded to the unique shape of your mouth, teeth, and jaw
• • Secure fit stays in place during intense activity
• • Accommodates braces, implants, and other orthodontic appliances without interference
• • Ideal for night-time bruxism: prevents jaw pain and protects dental work

Store-Bought Options

• • Boil-and-bite or standard sizes offer a quick solution
• • Often lack the precise fit and comfort of custom guards
• • Less durable and may shift during use

Types of Mouth Guards & Fitting Process

We offer a range of appliances tailored to your needs:

• • Custom Sports Mouth Guards (for ice sports, field sports, martial arts)
• • Night Guards (for teeth grinding and clenching)
• • Retainers (to maintain orthodontic alignment)

Fitting requires two appointments:

1. Take an impression of your teeth and bite
2. Insert the mouth guard, adjust for a comfortable fit

To ensure the best protection and comfort, schedule your personalized fitting with one of our dentists.

Caring for Your Mouth Guard

Proper care extends the life and hygiene of your custom guard:

1. Rinse with cold water after each use
2. Gently clean with a soft toothbrush and mild soap
3. Store in a ventilated protective case—avoid heat and direct sunlight
4. Bring your guard to dental appointments for wear inspection
5. Replace every 1–2 years, or sooner if it shows wear or no longer fits comfortably
