Sports mouthguards

Our Croydon lab makes mouthguards for six NRL clubs and makes yours the same way: from a 3D scan of your teeth, in 7 to 10 working days. Find your sport below for its rules and the guard it takes.

Another sport?

We also make guards for water polo, netball, touch, Oztag, cricket and lacrosse. Most adults in these sports wear Medium and juniors wear Light. Ask your club whether a guard is compulsory, and call us on (02) 9715 6567 if you're unsure which tier fits.

Which mouthguard for my sport?

Your age and sport decide it.

  • Light is for juniors 15 and under, in every sport: dual-layer construction.

Bite registration records how your top and bottom teeth meet. Postage is extra, and so is each uploaded image or font not in our list ($20 each).

Names, numbers, flags and symbols are included; a club logo, your own artwork or a font not in our list is $20 each. We check the tier with you before we make it.

Which sports need a mouthguard?

Boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai and MMA make a mouthguard compulsory to fight. Rugby, AFL and hockey bodies recommend one, and the NSW Department of Education requires one in public school matches, as do some competitions and clubs. ACT law requires one at BJJ competitions, though IBJJF rules don't. Basketball NSW recommends one, and soccer and the gym have no rule.

Questions

Which sports require a mouthguard?

Boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai and MMA make one compulsory to compete. Rugby league, rugby union, AFL and hockey bodies recommend one, and the NSW Department of Education requires one in public school matches, as do some competitions and clubs. The table above gives each sport's rule.

Can I use one mouthguard for two sports?

Yes, if both sports take the same tier. A Medium covers rugby, AFL, soccer, basketball, boxing and BJJ, so one guard does for a league player who also boxes. If you also fight MMA, Muay Thai or kickboxing, or play hockey, that sport takes a Heavy. Pick a colour both sports allow: IBA-rules boxing bouts ban red, IFMA bans red and pink, and FIBA allows only clear.

Is a sports mouthguard the same as a night guard?

No. A night guard is thinner and made to be worn while you sleep. We make one for $400 when you order it with a sports mouthguard, so ask for it when you book your scan.

How much is a sports mouthguard?

Light is $230 for juniors 15 and under, Medium is $320 for ages 16 and over, and Heavy is $365 for MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing and hockey. You can claim it on your health fund under item 151, on the spot in our Croydon clinic. Your gap depends on your fund and cover. Club visits are prepaid, with an itemised receipt to claim from your fund.
