Custom Mouthguard Info

Visit our SHOP page to see mouthguard prices.

All our custom mouthguards are made from Dental Grade Soft EVA Mouthguard material. Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) is a very soft plastic/rubber that easily forms when heated. In addition, the energy absorption properties makes it tough and stress crack resistant. They are Latex and BPA free.

Our mouthguards range from 3mm-4mm approximate thickness, depending on the sport it's being used for. Visit our Length/Thickness page for more info.

As long as it's being properly taken care of and there has been no change to the athlete's teeth, the mouthpiece should last 2 years or more. We recommend replacing your mouthguard every year or two.  

Yes, we make mouthpieces for all sports. Simply tell us what sport you participate in when filling out your order info, and we'll make you a mouthpiece specifically designed for your sport. Visit our Protection Levels page for more info.

No. Mouthguard thickness is based on the sport it's being used for. So for example, a mouthguard for grappling or basketball won't be as thick as a mouthguard for professional mma or boxing. Visit our Protection Levels page for more info.

No, sorry. They are bulky, uncomfortable and restrict breathing. We don't think they offer enough protection benefits to justify the drawbacks.

A custom fit mouthguard is made to fit you and ONLY YOU by using a dental mold of your teeth. A boil & bite is one size fits all, and everybody's mouth is unique and different so there's no way the fit and comfort will compare to a custom fit mouthguard. Also, the protection you get from an official Mouthpiece Guy custom mouthguard is far superior to anything you can buy off the shelf. Check out our Benefits page for more info on this subject.

Yes. Because our mouthguards are custom made using a dental mold of your teeth, you will be able to talk perfectly while wearing the mouthguard.

Mouthguard cases are available for purchase as a separate product, or can be added to an order when you customize your mouthguard.

Customizing Your Mouthguard

Unfortunately we do not make mouthguards for athletes with any of the following on their upper arch: Braces, Expanders, Removable Dentures, Implant-supported Hybrid Dentures (All-On-4), Overdentures, Loose Teeth. If any of these apply to you, please do not place an order.

Yes, but the youngest age is 8 years old.

There's no way to predict how fast a kid's teeth are going to grow, but sometimes, the mouthguard can be remolded at home with boiling water, just like a boil & bite.

No, but our Full Wrap Mouthguard allows you to create your design in real time and preview before you buy.

PDF or PNG files with a transparent background or a solid white background are required. Poor quality JPEG images, screen shots, and hand drawings will not work.

There are some limitations on what can be put on a custom designed mouthguard, but for the most part, we can put almost any design on a mouthguard! But keep in mind that we have a very small amount of space to work with, unlike a banner or t-shirt.

Fitting & Dental Impression Kit

Once you place your order, your kit should ship out the following business day. Standard shipping via USPS First Class mail usually takes 3-7 business days. If you need your kit sooner, we do offer faster shipping options at checkout. International shipping is done via DHL Express.

Unfortunately we no longer offer in-person fittings.

If you mess up taking your impression, don't panic! Just go online and order replacement putty and give it another shot.

Shipping & Turnaround

Current lead time is roughly 2 weeks and does not begin until we receive the mold/impression of the athletes teeth. Due to the complexity of the custom mouthguard process, we are unable to guarantee a specific "delivery date" of the completed mouthguard.

Unfortunately there are too many unpredictable factors that are out of our control to give an estimate.

We will email you when your kit arrives at the our lab, and again once your mouthguard is finished and ships out. The second email notification will have tracking info as well.
