It is advisable to wear a professionally made mouthguard if you play sports such as rugby, hockey and football.  

Mouthguards will be custom made to wear at night if you are susceptible to clenching or grinding your teeth (bruxism). A mouthguard will not cure your bruxism, but if you have such a condition, we will offer guidance and advice on teeth grinding, and may offer a mouthguard as a method to provide relief from the pressure and the sound while you explore the causes. The application of a mouthguard will even out the pressure across your jaw as well as provide a barrier between your bottom and top teeth. The soft material means that it reduces wear on your teeth and helps to diminish the grinding sound.
