A custom sports mouthguard is the single most effective way to prevent dental injuries during athletic activities. Whether you play cricket at the local ground in Memnagar, football at your school, or practice martial arts, your teeth are at risk from impacts, falls, and collisions. At RJ Luxe Dental, Dr. Jayti Shah creates custom-fitted mouthguards that provide superior protection compared to store-bought alternatives.
Store-Bought vs. Custom Mouthguards
Stock mouthguards (ready-made) are the cheapest option but offer the least protection. They come in fixed sizes, fit poorly, make breathing and speaking difficult, and provide uneven cushioning. Boil-and-bite mouthguards are slightly better as they mold somewhat to your teeth, but they thin out during the fitting process, reducing protection in critical areas. Custom mouthguards are made from precise dental impressions of your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit, even thickness, proper bite alignment, and maximum comfort so you actually wear them consistently.
Which Sports Require Mouthguards?
Mouthguards are essential for: cricket (especially batsmen and wicketkeepers facing fast bowling), football, hockey, kabaddi, boxing, martial arts, basketball, and rugby. They are also recommended for any recreational activity with fall risk such as cycling, skateboarding, and gymnastics. At RJ Luxe Dental, we also create mouthguards for patients who grind their teeth at night (bruxism guards).
