Do I need dental mouthguards?
You may benefit from a dental mouthguard if you play sports, clench or grind your teeth, or want to protect your smile from everyday wear and injury. We recommend custom nightguards and sportsguards to our patients because they offer reliable protection and a comfortable, secure fit.
Unlike over-the-counter boil-and-bite options, our mouthguards are custom-designed to fit your teeth precisely. This allows them to better protect your teeth, gums, lips, and cheeks while helping reduce the risk of dental injuries, enamel wear, and long-term damage.

Dental Mouthguards FAQ
Nightguards and sports mouthguards both protect your teeth, but they serve different purposes. A nightguard is designed to protect your teeth from grinding and clenching during sleep, helping to prevent enamel wear and jaw strain. A sports mouthguard, on the other hand, is made to absorb impact and prevent dental injuries during contact or high-risk physical activities.
Our Barrington custom mouthguards are made from a precise impression or digital scan of your teeth, so they fit securely and comfortably. This tailored fit improves protection and retention compared with generic or boil-and-bite mouthguards, which can shift, cause irritation, or offer less reliable defense against dental injury.
The lifespan of a mouthguard depends on how often it’s worn and how well it’s cared for. Custom guards typically last longer than store-bought versions, but should be checked regularly by your dentist. If you notice cracking, thinning, or discomfort, it may be time for a replacement.
Yes. A properly fitted mouthguard can alleviate TMJ discomfort by cushioning the teeth and helping reduce excessive pressure on the joint during clenching or grinding. This can lead to reduced jaw tension and fewer headaches associated with bruxism.
Absolutely. Our Barrington dental mouthguards are recommended for athletes of all ages who participate in contact or high-velocity sports to help protect developing teeth and reduce the risk of dental trauma. Custom fitting ensures the best protection and comfort.
