Bite guards & Sports Gumshields are small plastic appliances, tailor-made for you to protect your teeth from impact or trauma.
A bite guard is a soft, transparent, and removable plastic appliance that you typically wear at night. It helps prevent further damage caused by grinding or clenching your teeth.
In contrast, we make sport gumshields from a harder plastic material. They come in various colours and patterns and protect your teeth and mouth from potential injuries during physical activity or contact sports.
Both Bite guards & Sports Gumshields are available to book for, please contact the practice for further information !
