Can I wear a mouthguard with braces?Updated 5 hours ago
Yes. What you need depends on the type of braces you have.
Fixed braces
We have a range of mouthguards designed specifically for fixed braces. They fit around your braces while still giving you a secure fit and dependable protection. Our braces mouthguards come in Snap-Fit, Gold and Instant Custom-Fit, and are available in Adult size only.
Braces on your lower teeth
If you have fixed braces on your lower teeth, we also offer a Lower Braces mouthguard.
Removable braces, aligners or retainers
Unless your orthodontist has told you otherwise, remove your brace, aligner or retainer before playing sport and put it back in afterwards. You can then wear any of our standard mouthguards. Our mouthguards shouldn’t be worn over a removable appliance, because heat-fitting could damage it.
Fixed retainers
In most cases you can wear any of our standard mouthguards with a fixed retainer.
Any concerns?
If you have any questions or concerns about wearing a mouthguard with your specific orthodontic treatment, please check with your dentist or orthodontist before proceeding.
