Mouthguards for Sports

Mouthguards help protect teeth, lips, and jaws during contact sports. This collection includes youth and adult models for football, hockey, lacrosse, and more - strapped and strapless designs are available.

A good mouthguard fits snugly, stays in place, and doesn’t get in the way of breathing or talking. Some sports, like football, require a strapped mouthguard that attaches to the helmet. Others allow strapless designs. Many options here are boil-and-bite, which mold to your teeth for a custom fit. Double-layer mouthguards offer extra protection for players with braces or those in heavy-contact roles. Always check league rules before buying - some require specific features. This collection includes single and double mouthguards in both youth and adult sizes, built for real-game use across multiple sports.

Mouthguards FAQs

Are mouthguards sport-specific, or can I use the same kind for any sport?

Some are designed with specific sports in mind, like football mouthguards that usually come with a helmet strap, or models shaped for braces used in combat sports. But many mouthguards are general-purpose and work across contact sports like hockey, lacrosse, and basketball. What matters most is fit, comfort, and whether it meets the safety or rule requirements for your sport. Always check if your league requires certain features, like a strap or double layer, especially for youth teams.

What’s the difference between single and double mouthguards?

Single mouthguards protect just the upper teeth and are easier to breathe and talk with. Double mouthguards cover both the upper and lower teeth, offering extra protection but often feeling bulkier. Double models are popular for high-contact positions or athletes with braces.

How do I fit a boil-and-bite mouthguard?

Most follow the same steps: submerge it in hot (not boiling) water, wait a few seconds, then bite down firmly to mold it to your teeth. Use your fingers and tongue to press it into place. Let it cool in cold water to harden the shape. Always read the brand’s specific instructions - overheating can ruin the shape or material.

How often should I replace a mouthguard?

Replace it at least once per season, or sooner if it shows signs of wear, like tears, loose fit, or bite-through spots. Youth players may need replacements more often due to growing teeth. A damaged mouthguard won’t provide proper protection and may even cause discomfort or distraction.
