Franklin Bright Smiles Custom Kids Mouth Guards

🎨 Pick Your Colors!

Why Ditch the "Boil and Bite"?
Safety Meets Ultimate Comfort.

Store-bought options are often bulky, gag-inducing, and easily fall out. Our custom mouth guards Canberra parents trust offer a secure fit—meaning your kids can focus on the game, not adjusting their guard.

🛡️

Maximum Impact Protection

Molded exactly to your child's teeth, absorbing and distributing force. Essential rugby dental protection to prevent broken teeth and jaw injuries.

🗣️

Breathe & Speak Easily

Because the guard securely grips the teeth, kids can breathe heavily and shout plays on the field without the guard slipping out of place.

Fun Custom Designs

Let them pick their team colors! We offer a massive range of styles to match their local AFL mouth guards or school sports uniform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting your child fitted for sports.

Why shouldn't I just buy a chemist mouth guard?

Store-bought "boil and bite" guards offer minimal shock absorption, are often uncomfortably bulky, and restrict airflow. A dentist-fitted custom guard is layered perfectly to your child's dental structure, offering superior protection against concussions and tooth loss.

Can my child wear a mouth guard with braces?

Absolutely. In fact, it's highly recommended. We specifically design custom mouth guards for children undergoing orthodontic treatment. We ensure the guard protects the lips from the brackets while leaving room for the teeth to shift safely.

How often should a child's mouth guard be replaced?

Because a child's jaw is constantly growing and they are losing/gaining teeth, we recommend replacing their custom mouth guard every 12 to 18 months, or immediately if the guard shows heavy signs of wear or no longer fits snugly.

How do I clean and maintain the guard?

Rinse it with cold water immediately after every use. Once home, clean it gently with mild soap and a soft toothbrush (do not use hot water or harsh toothpaste, as this can warp the shape). Always store it in the hard, ventilated case we provide.

Are mouth guards required in all sports leagues?

While it varies, many local Canberra leagues across AFL, Rugby Union, Rugby League, Hockey, and Martial Arts strictly enforce a "No Mouth Guard, No Play" policy for children. Even in non-contact sports like basketball, we highly recommend them.

Can I claim this on my private health fund?

Yes! Custom sports mouth guards are considered a preventative dental measure. Depending on your level of cover, most major health funds will provide a rebate. We have HICAPS available at our Franklin clinic so you can claim on the spot.
