Custom Sports Mouthguards Designed for Superior Protection
A beautiful smile makes us feel great about ourselves, offering an instant boost to our self-esteem and self-confidence.
Almost 70 percent of the youth in Canada participate in organized sports. In most cases, some type of protective gear is either recommended or provided to individual players. An essential piece of gear for players of all ages is the custom-fit mouthguard. This protective gear should be worn during practice as well as all playtime for contact sports of all kinds as well as activities like skiing, surfing, and more.
Currently, more than 90 percent of amateur athletes wear off-the-shelf mouthguards purchased at a sporting goods store. This means that only 10 percent of amateur athletes and student athletes are fully protected with a custom-fit mouthguard.
A custom mouthguard is one that has been designed by a professional such as a dentist or athletic trainer. This appliance will meet the requirements for full protection, comfort, resiliency, minimal bulk, and more. Throughout the playing season, the mouthguard should remain tasteless and odourless, which is facilitated with proper materials. It should feel comfortable in the mouth and should not get in the way of swallowing or breathing normally. At the same time, the thickness of the mouthguard should provide adequate shock absorption to prevent injury should the lower jaw be forced upward.
The problem with the most common type of mouthguard
Currently, the most common mouthguard used by student athletes is the “boil and bite” guard. This appliance can be easily purchased in a commercial outlet or may even be provided by a sports league or coach. The idea of the boil and bite mouthguard seems simple enough. Purchase the item, boil thermoplastic material in water for a short time and then place the mouthguard over teeth and press. This action will form the mouthguard to teeth.
Not only can the boil and bite product feel too bulky in the mouth, but this type of mouthguard also provides only limited protection. Studies have shown that, due to limited size availability, the boil and bite mouthguard tends to leave teeth at the back of the mouth unprotected from impact injury. In order to protect teeth, the jaw, and the face and head, it is necessary to reach optimal thickness and extension within the mouthguard, something only possible with custom care.
Many players also rely on ready-to-wear mouthguards, which offer virtually no protection at all.

Summary
Staying active should never mean risking your smile. At Sherway Dentistry, we create custom sports mouthguards that offer the highest level of protection for athletes of all ages. Unlike store-bought “boil and bite” guards—often bulky, poorly fitting, and limited in coverage—our professionally crafted mouthguards are designed for comfort, durability, and optimal shock absorption. They allow you to breathe, speak, and play with confidence while reducing the risk of serious injuries to the teeth, jaw, and head. Whether your child plays organized sports or you’re an adult athlete, a custom-fit mouthguard is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your smile season after season.
Questions & Answers
Choosing the right mouthguard can make all the difference in your safety and comfort on the field. To help you understand why custom protection matters — and what to expect — we’ve answered some of the most common questions our patients ask about sports mouthguards.
Custom mouthguards are professionally made to fit your exact bite, providing significantly better protection, comfort, and coverage—especially for back teeth and the jaw. Over-the-counter guards are often bulky, poorly fitted, and offer limited impact protection.
Any contact or high-impact activity can put your teeth and jaw at risk. This includes hockey, football, soccer, basketball, martial arts, skiing, skateboarding, mountain biking, and more. Mouthguards should be worn during both practice and games.
Yes. Our mouthguards are designed to be lightweight, tasteless, and odourless. They allow you to breathe and speak easily, without interfering with swallowing or performance.
With proper care, a custom mouthguard often lasts an entire season or longer. Young athletes may need more frequent replacements due to growth and changing dentition.
Absolutely. A single dental injury can cost more than 20 times the price of a high-quality mouthguard. Custom mouthguards provide the best protection against tooth loss, jaw injuries, and concussion-related impacts—making them a smart investment in long-term dental health.
