Designed for comfort, fit, and protection
At Jane Clair Dental, we create a custom sports guard near you for children, teens, and adults who play contact or high-impact sports. This may include hockey, football, basketball, soccer, baseball, martial arts, gymnastics, skateboarding, and other activities where the mouth or face could be injured.
A professionally made guard is designed from your teeth so it fits more securely and comfortably than many over-the-counter options. That better fit can help with protection, speech, and breathing during activity, which is why many athletes prefer a custom-made appliance.

Why a Custom Mouth Guard Matters
There are different types of guards available, including stock guards, boil-and-bite options, and professionally made custom guards. While basic options may provide some protection, a custom mouth guard is usually the best choice for comfort, fit, and reliable coverage.
Store-bought guards can feel bulky and may shift while speaking or breathing. A custom sports mouth guard is made to fit your smile more precisely, which can make it easier to wear consistently during practice and games.
- Better fit than store-bought guards
- More comfort during sports activity
When a Sports Guard Should Be Replaced
A sports guard should be checked regularly to make sure it still fits properly and continues to protect the teeth well. Children and teens may need replacements more often because their teeth and jaws are still developing.
Adults may also need a new guard if it becomes worn, loose, cracked, or if dental work changes the shape of the teeth. Regular dental visits are a good time to check whether your appliance still fits the way it should.
- Replace worn or damaged guards
- Update fit as the mouth changes
