Gum Shields

Gum shields or mouth guards are dental appliances worn to protect teeth and gums from injury. They are commonly used in sports and sometimes for people who grind their teeth or clench their jaws during sleep because of bruxism. At New Look Smile, we offer a selection of custom-made gum shields, including clear night guards, coloured sports guards, and even tailored boxing guards that can be personalised with the branding of your preference.

Kinds of Gum Shields We Provide

Transparent Night Guards

Night guards are referred to as clear guards because of their transparent nature. They are worn at night to prevent grinding or clenching of the teeth. They are made of strong materials that are transparent. They are molded to fit the teeth.

Colour Sports Guards 

These kinds of sports guards have been designed to protect people who engage in contact sports such as football, basketball, hockey, and martial arts. These sports guards are designed to be colored in accordance with the preferences of the consumer. 

Custom-Branded Boxing Guards

Boxing guards are specifically designed for combat sports and provide maximum protection. These guards are customized according to the shape of your mouth. They can also be printed with customized designs like your name, team color, or any such design that you want.

Making the custom gum shield may require the following steps:

Initial Consultation: Our dentist will assess your needs in order to recommend the best gum shield for the activities you are involved in.

Impressions:

Impressions are taken of your teeth in order to provide for a secure fit.

Fitting Appointment:

After the preparation of the guard, a fitting appointment is arranged for checking comfort, fit, and functioning.

Care Advice: Care instructions regarding the cleaning and storage of the gum shields will be given to prevent any sort of deterioration.
