Sports Mouthguards | Signature Smiles
Accidents on the pitch or court can happen in seconds, and dental injuries are among the most common sports-related problems. At Signature Smiles in Brackley, we create custom-fitted sports mouthguards designed to protect your teeth, gums, and jaw while giving you the comfort and security you need to perform at your best.
Your care will be provided by Dr Bhavin Patel and Dr Chirali Patel, who ensure every mouthguard is crafted for precision, safety, and comfort.
What Is a Sports Mouthguard?
A sports mouthguard is a protective dental device worn over your teeth during physical activity. It cushions impact, reducing the risk of chipped or broken teeth, soft tissue injuries, and even jaw fractures. Unlike shop-bought versions, our custom mouthguards are tailored to your bite, ensuring a snug fit that allows easy breathing and speaking.

FAQs - Sports Mouthguards
How long does a sports mouthguard last?
Most mouthguards last 1-2 years. For children and teenagers, they may need replacement more often as their teeth and jaws grow.
Can I wear a mouthguard if I have braces?
Yes. We can design a guard that fits comfortably over orthodontic appliances.
How do I clean my sports mouthguard?
Rinse after every use, brush gently with a toothbrush (no toothpaste), and store it in a ventilated case.
Are custom mouthguards better than shop-bought ones?
Absolutely. Custom mouthguards fit securely, offer superior protection, and last longer compared to generic boil-and-bite versions.
Do children really need sports mouthguards?
Yes. Children are especially vulnerable to dental trauma during contact sports, and a well-fitting mouthguard can prevent costly and painful injuries.
