Custom Mouth Guards & Night Splints In Charlestown

It’s important to protect your teeth, especially if you play contact sport or grind your teeth. At Your Smile, we specialise in creating custom mouth guards and night splints to make sure your pearly whites are protected.

Mouth Guard Options

Living an active lifestyle is important for your overall health and wellbeing. If you play contact sport, such as football, basketball, or soccer, consider protecting your teeth from a knock with a mouth guard.

Types of Mouth Guards

Sports Mouth Guards

Don’t settle for a cheap and bulky chemist mouth guard – your teeth are worth more than $12. Your Smile custom-fit sports mouth guards are made from durable and slimline materials, and act as a great barrier between the upper and lower teeth, absorbing and redistributing impact forces that may occur during sports activities.

Night Guards

Around 5% of people grind their teeth – often at night, without realising it. ‘Bruxism’ (teeth griding) can wear down and even crack teeth. Protect your smile day and night with a custom-fit night guard.

Bite Guards

Similar to night guards, bite guards aim to specifically address jaw problems, such as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). If you suffer from TMJ, help reposition your jaw and relieve the pain with a custom-made bite guard.

Night Splints

Ever woken up with a sore jaw, aching teeth, or a throbbing headache? You might be grinding your teeth in your sleep. This is called bruxism. Bruxism can be triggered by stress, anxiety, certain medications, or even sleep disorders. It affects millions of people worldwide – around 5%. Thankfully Your Smile can help with a custom-fit night splint.

How Do Night Splints Work?

Custom-made night splints work like a shield, fitting snugly over your teeth to create a barrier between your upper and lower jaw.

So You Cracked Your Tooth, Now What Do You Do?
