Do soccer players wear mouthguards?
Some do, by choice: Football Australia and Football NSW don't require one.
Players who go without one usually say head contact is rare in soccer and a guard gets in the way of breathing and talking. Players who wear one tend to have a reason:
- braces or dental work they want to protect
- a tooth injury they are coming back from
- a position with more contact, such as goalkeeper
- a second sport, such as league, union or AFL, where they already wear a guard
Your club or school can set its own rule, so check with them before the season.
Ninety minutes with it in
Soccer players run and call for the ball all match. A stock guard carries spare material so it can fit many mouths; yours is made to one, with edges that follow the scan of your own teeth and gums.
A Medium guard also has your bite recorded in it, so it sits where your teeth meet. If a stock guard has felt bulky, tell us at the scan and we will talk you through the shape.
Your number and flag
Put your shirt number, your name or the flag you play for on your guard in our 3D designer. Names, numbers, flags and symbols are included in the price. A club logo or your own artwork is $20 extra.
Clubs can give every team one design, with each player's name and number on their own guard.
For junior players
Players 15 and under wear Light ($230). We recommend a new guard every year for players under 18, because growing teeth change shape.
Book the scan a couple of weeks before the season starts: each guard takes 7 to 10 working days to make.
At half-time
Rinse your guard in cold water and put it in its vented case at half-time and after the match, not in a sock or on the grass.
Wash it in soapy water now and then. Keep it away from hot water, toothpaste and a hot car.
Made in our Croydon lab
Every guard is scanned and made by Anthony Adaimy's team inside Dental Spot, 7 The Strand, Croydon. Anthony is a dental prosthetist, and he and his team have made mouthguards since 2009.

Questions
Which mouthguard should a soccer player get?
Medium ($320) for players 16 and over, and Light ($230) for juniors 15 and under. We confirm the tier with you at the scan.
Can I put my number on my guard?
Yes. Names, numbers, flags and symbols are included in the price. A club logo or your own artwork is $20 extra.
Can our soccer club order together?
Yes. We run scan days at your ground for 30 or more players in Sydney, or 50 interstate. Players pay before the visit. Give us 2 to 3 weeks to plan the day.
Can you wear a mouthguard with braces for soccer?
Yes, once the teeth are aligned. For children in braces we generally recommend a Light guard ($230) at that point. While teeth are still moving, we recommend waiting; plan the timing with our team and your orthodontist or dentist.
Do soccer goalkeepers wear mouthguards?
Some do, by choice: no rule requires one. Keepers who wear one usually do so because they dive at players' feet and contest crosses among bodies in the air.
Can I claim it on my health fund?
Yes. Health fund claimable under item 151. Claim 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.
How long does a soccer mouthguard take?
7 to 10 working days from your scan, once your design is ready. Tell us your first game date when you book.
