Custom-Fit Protection
Forster Mouthguards
Mouthguards are commonly used to help prevent dental injuries during sport or manage the effects of night-time teeth grinding. At Twin Towns Denture Clinic in Forster, we create custom mouthguards designed to fit each patient’s mouth accurately. A close fit improves comfort and helps the device stay securely in place during use—something that’s often harder to achieve with over-the-counter alternatives.
We support patients across Forster, Tuncurry, and Laurieton with professionally made mouthguards suitable for both sports protection and night-time wear. Each one is shaped using a detailed impression of the upper teeth to ensure a comfortable and personalised fit. Whether the mouthguard is for a child playing sport or an adult managing bruxism, we tailor the design to meet individual needs. To book a mouthguard fitting, call (02) 6554 8821 today.

Usage & Design
Practical, Comfortable Devices
Mouthguards are widely recommended in contact sports such as football, hockey, boxing and basketball to help reduce the risk of oral injuries. They’re also suitable for individuals who grind or clench their teeth while sleeping—a condition known as bruxism. In either case, a custom-fit device is made from a dental impression, which helps it stay in place more effectively than a boil-and-bite version from a store.
The materials used in custom mouthguards are selected for flexibility, durability, and comfort. Each device is trimmed and polished in our clinic to avoid rough edges and checked for fit before final handover. Mouthguards can be cleaned using mild soap or specific cleaning products and should be stored in a ventilated case between uses.

Regular reviews are recommended, especially for younger patients whose teeth or bite may change. A new mouthguard may be needed every 6–12 months depending on growth, wear, and activity level.
FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
What is the process for getting a custom mouthguard?
The process begins with an appointment to take a detailed impression of your upper teeth. This impression is used to create a mould, which is then used to fabricate a mouthguard that fits your individual mouth shape. Once the mouthguard is finished, a follow-up visit may be scheduled to check fit and make any necessary adjustments.
Can children use custom mouthguards?
Yes. Children involved in contact sports or activities where impacts to the mouth are possible may be fitted for a custom mouthguard. Because children’s teeth and jaws develop over time, a new fitting may be required periodically. Parents can speak with a dental professional to determine if a new device is needed as growth continues.
Are mouthguards only for sports?
No. While they are commonly used for physical sports, mouthguards are also suitable for people who clench or grind their teeth at night. In these cases, a night-time version of a mouthguard may be provided to fit over the upper teeth and help separate the upper and lower jaw during sleep.
How should a mouthguard be maintained?
Mouthguards should be rinsed with cool water after each use and allowed to dry fully before storing in a ventilated case. It is also important to keep the case clean and avoid exposing the mouthguard to high temperatures. Cleaning products designed for oral appliances may be used periodically for deeper cleaning.
