Custom Mouthguard for Hockey
Your teeth are unique from the length of your teeth to your gums. A conventional mouthguard can therefore not offer you optimal dental protection.
Dental Armor has a specially adapted shock and impact-absorbing layer to offer you the best possible protection for hockey.
We take impressions of your upper and lower jaw so that we can optimally adapt the hockey mouthguard to your teeth. This means you are also protected against side blows.
Hockey is a rough sport, that's why your mouthguard is additionally reinforced in the front tooth area. -
Made to Measure in Germany
Our laboratory is located in Northern Germany and we source the material for your gum shield exclusively from Germany.
Your gum shield is personally crafted by our owner Andreas Valtingojer, who has more than 30 years of experience in the dental industry. -
Ultimate Comfort
No more falling out, no more choking, no more shortness of breath, and no more sore gums!
Never lose another thought about your mouthguard during hockey training!
Dental Armor even makes talking a lot easier and drinking will no longer be an obstacle. -
Better Breathing
Our innovative design makes the hockey mouthguard thinner at the back of the mouth, allowing you to breathe more freely.

How should a mouthguard fit for hockey?
A hockey mouthguard must fit properly to provide optimal protection and comfort. Here are the key elements for a good fit:
- Tight fit to the teeth: The hockey mouthguard should stick firmly to your teeth without having to hold it with your tongue or lips. It should not wobble or be loose.
- Even pressure distribution: It should distribute pressure evenly across all teeth to ensure maximum protection and comfort.
- Clear airway: The hockey mouthguard should not obstruct breathing. Adequate airways are crucial for endurance and performance.
- Speaking and swallowing: You should be able to talk and swallow with the hockey mouthguard on without it moving or becoming uncomfortable.
- Comfort and no gagging: The hockey mouthguard should not sit too far back to avoid gagging and should provide general comfort.
- Customisation: The best solution is a custom hockey mouthguard, 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.
Where can I buy a mouthguard for hockey?
Mouthguards for hockey are available in a variety of places:
- Sports shops: Many sports shops stock a range of hockey mouthguards, especially those that specialise in combat sports.
- Online retailers: Websites such as Amazon offer a quick solution with a wide range of cheap mouthguards.
- Dentists: For a customised mouthguard, you can go to a dentist. These are more expensive but offer the best fit and protection.
- Dental Armor: The ideal solution for anyone who is looking for a high-quality hockey mouthguard but doesn't want the high cost and hassle of a visit to the dentist. With Dental Armor, the impression material is sent to your home. You simply take the impression of your teeth and send it back. A dental technician then creates the customised mouthguard and delivers it directly to you.
Which mouthguard for hockey?
Choosing the right mouthguard for hockey depends on various factors:
- Comfort and fit: a mouthguard should be comfortable, fit well and not impede breathing. "Boil-and-bite" models are inexpensive, but do not offer the same level of protection and comfort as a custom hockey mouthguard from Dental Armor.
- Material and quality: Cheaper models can be less comfortable and wear out more quickly. Dental Armor only uses materials from Germany for its hockey mouthguard.
- Personal preferences: Some hockey players prefer mouthguards with specific designs, colours or brands. However, it is important that style is never prioritised over safety.
What are the benefits of a mouthguard for hockey?
A mouthguard for hockey offers several important benefits:
- It protects the teeth and jaw: It prevents teeth from being damaged or knocked out and protects the jaw from fractures.
- Shock absorption: The mouthguard absorbs and distributes the force of blows to the face, reducing the risk of injury to the mouth and jaw.
- Cuts prevention: It helps prevent cuts to the lips and oral mucosa that can be caused by teeth.
- Brain protection: By cushioning blows, it can indirectly help reduce the transmission of shock waves to the brain, reducing the risk of concussion.
- Improve concentration: hockey players can concentrate better when they are less worried about mouth injuries.
A mouthguard is therefore an essential part of hockey protection.
