One Less Thing to Worry About
Waking up with a sore jaw, dull headaches, or sensitive teeth are the first sign that you might be suffering from chronic teeth grinding (Bruxism). Your teeth are designed to chew food, not each other, and when this happens subconsciously, both your night's rest and the day ahead start with you at a disadvantage you didn't ask for. One that is entirely preventable.
Similarly, going out on the field and competing at your best puts you at risk of sustaining an injury, damaging your smile or knocking out a tooth altogether. Our team at Aspenwood Dental create custom-fit mouth guards and sports guards to protect you from both. Designed specifically for your smile and needs, custom guards give you more comfort and defense with smile protection that fits in your pocket or sits on your nightstand, ready when you need it.
Finding The Right Fit for You
Occlusal Mouthguard (Night Guards)
Chronic teeth grinding usually happens while you sleep, and while the symptoms are there in the morning, it's easy to dismiss as something unrelated to your oral health until the damage is done. During your regular Checkups & Cleanings, our doctors can spot signs of bruxism early on and get you started on the path to relief.
Unlike store-bought boil-and-bite guards, a custom occlusal guard gives you precision-molded protection that:
- Prevents Damage: Creates a durable barrier that absorbs grinding forces evenly throughout your smile.
- Relieves Pain: Reducing tension in your jaw muscles (TMJ) to stop morning headaches.
- Improves Sleep: They're designed to be slim, comfortable, and fit securely into place. Less discomfort, more rest.
Sports Mouthguard
For athletes big or small, sports mouthguards are designed to give you or your little ones peace of mind, making your mouthguard the most important piece of equipment in the bag. Sports mouthguards are designed to be softer than a mouthguard you sleep with, prioritising protection during sessions while allowing you to communicate easier.
- They Stay Put: No more clenching just to keep the guard in your mouth. The bespoke fit keeps them in place and comfortable to wear.
- Breathe Easier: A custom fit allows for more natural breathing, improving your endurance when the going gets tough.
- Better Protection: Added protection where you need it most means thicker material in particularly sensitive areas, meaning less risk of broken teeth, lip lacerations, or jaw injuries while you focus on the goal.

What Are the Benefits of a Custom Mouthguard?
You wouldn't wear shoes that don't fit; you shouldn't wear a mouthguard that doesn't fit, either. Protecting your smile shouldn't come with the compromise of comfort, and that's where a custom mouthguard comes in. Compete, play, speak, breathe, and sleep with a solution that puts your mind at ease, not on the guard in your mouth. We believe great care doesn't stop in the dental chair, and with a solution that protects your smile everywhere else, you're free to focus on your smile goals ahead.
