Gum Shield From the Dentist

Yes, we offer bulk orders and quantity discounts for sports clubs and larger groups.

We will send the impression kits to one address (e.g. your gym) so you can all make the impressions together and send them back to us collectively.

Please write us a message in the chat (bottom right) with the number of people and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Yes, that's no problem at all.

Many dental practices have not updated their websites for years or do not provide prices. After years of inflation, it is therefore difficult to determine the exact costs. Our research in Germany has shown that high-quality gum shields, such as the ones we offer, generally cost around £300. This does not take into account the additional time costs of a visit to the dentist, such as getting there, waiting time and returning home.

However, we would like to emphasise that it is always better to incur these costs than to lose a tooth, as this would inevitably be much more expensive.

Custom mouthguards are usually only available at the dentist.

A gum shield must fit properly to provide optimal protection and comfort. Here are the key elements for a good fit:

1. Tight fit to the teeth: The gum shield should stick firmly to your teeth without having to hold it with your tongue or lips. It should not wobble or be loose.
2. Even pressure distribution: It should distribute pressure evenly across all teeth to ensure maximum protection and comfort.
3. Clear airway: The gum shield should not obstruct breathing. Adequate airways are crucial for endurance and performance.
4. Speaking and swallowing: You should be able to talk and swallow with the gum shield on without it moving or becoming uncomfortable.
5. Comfort and no gagging: The gum shield should not sit too far back to avoid gagging and should provide general comfort.
6. Customisation: The best solution is a custom gum shield, such as the one from Dental Armor, which is precisely adapted to the shape of your teeth and jaw and custom-made by a specialist.

Yes, you can talk with a custom-made gum shield like Dental Armor's, but usually not with the cheap boil-and-bite versions from the internet.

The ability to speak clearly depends on the fit and design of the gum shield. A properly fitted gum shield should fit tightly without slipping, while still leaving enough room for tongue movement and easy breathing.

It may take some time to get used to the feel of the gum shield in your mouth and speech may be slightly impaired at first.

However, with time and practice, most people should be able to speak relatively normally with the gum shield in place.
