Sports Mouthguards

Custom-made protection for active people of all ages

When you play contact sports, your teeth deserve the same protection as the rest of your body.
At Smile Dental Laboratory in Brighouse, we design and produce custom-fitted sports mouthguards that provide excellent impact protection without compromising comfort, breathing, or communication.

Unlike over-the-counter “boil and bite” guards, our custom mouthguards are made from precise dental impressions or digital scans. They fit securely, stay comfortable throughout play, and give players the confidence to perform at their best.

We’ve been making high-quality protective mouthguards for more than 30 years, serving local athletes, schools, and sports clubs across Yorkshire and beyond.

Why Choose a Custom Mouthguard?

A properly fitted mouthguard helps to:

  • Absorb and distribute impact forces

  • Protect against chipped or broken teeth

  • Prevent lip, gum, and jaw injuries

  • Reduce the risk of concussion and joint strain

  • Allow clear speech and easy breathing during use

Every mouthguard is individually moulded and finished to suit your sport, age, and level of play – from school rugby to professional boxing.

Our Mouthguard Options

We offer a range of designs to meet your needs:

  • Single-Layer Guards – ideal for children and light-contact sports.

  • Dual or Multi-Layer Guards – enhanced protection for rugby, hockey, martial arts, and other high-impact sports.

  • Colour & Design Choices – single colour, multi-colour, or team patterns.

  • Personalisation – optional name or initials for easy identification.

All guards are made from durable, high-quality EVA material, free from BPA and phthalates.

What We Need to Begin

To create your perfect mouthguard, we’ll need:

  • An upper impression or digital scan (lower only if required)

  • Details of the sport played

  • Your preferred colour or team pattern

  • Name label details (if required)

If you’re local, we can take impressions at the lab by appointment.
For dental practices, we also provide free local collection and postal service nationwide.

Turnaround Times

Standard turnaround is 5–7 working days, depending on design complexity.
Priority service may be available for tournament deadlines — please call us to confirm before sending impressions.

Care & Maintenance
  • Rinse after each use and allow to dry in a ventilated case.

  • Clean gently with mild soap and cool water – avoid boiling or hot water.

  • Store away from direct heat or sunlight.

  • Check the fit regularly, especially for children and teenagers whose teeth and jaws are still developing.
