Get your own Custom Made Mouthguard in club colours

On 9th September we are offering players the opportunity to get a custom Mouthguard made at the club by a dentist.

A custom-made mouthguard will fit your mouth exactly and protect your teeth and gums properly. Custom-made mouthguards can prevent damage to the jaw, neck and even the brain - helping to prevent the concussion and damage caused by a heavy blow.

To save our players needing to take time out of work to visit a dentist and have a mouthguard made we have organised a night when you can have this done at the club.

Please post on this page to indicate that you are interested and we will contact you to confirm that you wish to make an order (note: this can only be done on 9 September - we are not able to offer a dental drop in service)

What Does it Cost?
£25 for a a single colour
£30 for club colour stripes

How Long will it take to arrive
On the 9 September you will have a dental impression made of your teeth that will then be sent off to the lab for your mouth guard to be moulded to this impression. The process usually takes two weeks.

I cant make it on 9 September can I still get a gumshield in club colours?
Yes, but not at the club - we will aim to offer this service at the start of each season but can't offer this year round. At all other times you can contact your local dentist who will be able to do this for you.

What about home kits?
Mouthguards are made by taking an accurate impression of your mouth and making the mouthguard fit your own teeth. The dentist will register the way your jaws bite together to make sure the mouthguard meets properly with your teeth.

There are cheaper kits available. They involve heating the product in hot water and then putting it in your mouth until it sets. Unfortunately, these mouthguards can fit badly and be uncomfortable to wear. They can fall out or even cause choking. Also the material is at its thinnest where it is needed most.
