Specialty Mouth Guards: For Braces, Rugby, and Boxing

Safety is essential in contact sports, especially for your teeth. If you’re an athlete who has braces and plays rugby or boxes professionally, then your mouth guard must fit well.

Mouthguards for braces, rugby, and boxing are more than an option; they are a piece of equipment you must have. Regular mouthguards may cause discomfort or have compromised protection for players with braces. At Smilepath, we provide a custom-fit, comfortable, and high-quality orthodontic sports mouthguard.

In this blog, we will discuss the need for specialty mouthguards for braces wearers and for athletes in contact sports. It will explain how to choose the right mouth guard, why specialty protection is required with braces, and what makes Smilepath's products special in terms of safety, comfort, and fit.

Why Mouth Guards Are Essential in Sports

A mouth guard for sports works as a cushion between your teeth and the soft tissues inside your mouth. Sports such as rugby and boxing can put you in a position where your face has a high chance of being impacted. One minor hit to the face could chip, fracture, or displace your teeth, lacerate your lips or cheeks, or produce more serious injuries to your jaw if you don’t have a mouth guard.

For athletes with braces, the stakes are even higher. Orthodontic appliances can cause additional injury if not adequately protected. That’s why choosing a specially designed mouth guard for braces is crucial.

The Unique Challenges of Playing Sports with Braces

Braces straighten teeth, but braces also have a metal framework that could injure your lips, cheeks, and gums when playing sports. If you wear braces, a regular sports mouth guard is not good enough; you need an orthodontic sports mouth guard that provides more space and padding to protect your brackets and wires.

There are three reasons to choose an orthodontic sports mouth guard over a regular sports mouth guard:

• More padding: It will help prevent cuts to your mouth from braces upon impact.
• Orthodontic fit: It will provide space for the braces and room for your teeth to continue to move.
• Durability: It will withstand significant impact pressure.

Here at Smilepath, our custom mouth guards with braces are made from high-quality, medical-grade silicone that adapts to fit over your orthodontics, without sacrificing comfort.

Mouth Guards for Rugby: Built for the Toughest Tackles

Rugby is one of the most physical sports with tackles, scrums, and random collisions, meaning you have a higher likelihood of oral injuries than any other sport. This is why having a mouth guard for rugby is not only advisable but a requirement for many leagues.

What is Different about a Rugby Mouth Guard?

• Thicker design: Will absorb high impact.
• Snug fit: Remain securely in your mouth despite aggressive movements.
• Breathability: Will provide nice airflow while you are actively playing.

Smilepath offers custom mouthguards, perfect for active kids. They balance the protection you need while still being comfortable enough to play without distraction. Our mouth guards are used by people who will play match after match, trusting that their equipment gear will not fail at the worst time.

Mouth Guards for Boxing: Face the Fight with Confidence

Boxing targets your face, so using mouth protection as part of your safety equipment is important. A specifically designed boxing mouthguard protects your teeth, jaw, and tongue from severe collision injury during punches and accidental falls.

Important Features of Mouth Guards for Boxing

• Multi-layer protection: Cushioning for your upper and lower teeth.
• Shock absorption: The force of the impact is reduced.
• Secure fit: The mouth guard will not come loose while being hit.

Smilepath offers boxing mouth guards that are crafted to help you take the abuse of the ring. Whether you're a novice or a professional boxer, our guards are designed to help reduce the risk of injury, so train harder, fight smarter!

Smilepath’s Specialty Mouth Guards: Why We Stand Out

Smilepath is redefining oral protection with its comprehensive range of orthodontic sports mouthguards. Here's what sets us apart:

Custom Fit for Braces

Smilepath guards are designed to address the needs of orthodontic wearers. Regular mouth guards may be uncomfortable and may not accommodate the various components of braces, such as brackets and wires. Our custom mouth guards are designed to be thoroughly comfortable and secure, allowing for full application of movement in dental alignment without discomfort or impacting the brackets' work while using the braces.

Multi-Sport Versatility

You can find a mouthguard at Smilepath for any contact sport, including rugby, boxing, and hockey. Each of our products has been put through different testing paradigms to ensure you are getting a premium product that offers durability and flexibility. Take your mind off the fear of injury and focus on your performance with a mouthguard that has been engineered to withstand the rigors of the game.

Medical-Grade Materials

Quality and safety are paramount when it comes to oral protection. Smilepath guards are constructed from BPA-free , latex-free, hypoallergenic medical-grade silicone that guarantees safety and comfort during prolonged use. This attention to material composition not only enhances comfort but also minimizes the risk of allergic reactions or irritations, making our guards a reliable choice for all athletes.

Breathable and Speech-Friendly Design

Smilepath mouth guards are thoughtfully designed to allow the user to breathe and communicate comfortably, even in environments with heavy breathing and rigorous physical competition. For example, in rugby, just being able to communicate clearly and effectively influences safety as well as performance.

Affordability with Quality

At Smilepath, our mission is to allow access to high-quality oral protection. We firmly believe that premium mouth guards tailored for braces, rugby, and boxing should be accessible to everyone, not just elite athletes. Our competitive pricing strategy ensures that customers receive outstanding value without sacrificing quality. When you choose Smilepath, you’re investing in a product designed to enhance your performance while ensuring optimal protection and comfort, all at a price that won’t break the bank.

Smilepath provides a comprehensive range of mouth guards that combine custom fit, multi-sport applicability, safe materials, comfort-focused design, and affordability, making them the go-to choice for athletes and orthodontic wearers alike.

How to Choose the Right Mouth Guard

With so many options on the market, choosing the right mouth guard can feel overwhelming. Here’s a quick checklist to help you decide:

Pro Tip: If you have braces and play rugby or box, opt for a dual-purpose orthodontic sports mouthguard that caters to both needs in one guard.

How to Clean and Maintain Your Mouth Guard

A dirty mouth guard can harbor bacteria and lead to bad breath or oral infections. Follow these steps to keep your guard in great condition:

• Rinse after each use with cold water.
• Brush gently using a soft toothbrush and mild soap.
• Store in a ventilated case away from heat or direct sunlight.
• Avoid chewing on your mouth guard; it can affect its shape and durability.

Smilepath also offers cleaning tablets and ventilated cases as accessories to extend the life of your mouth guard.
