The scanner is essentially a small camera which captures multiple high resolution photographs to produce a 3 Dimensional image of the teeth and soft tissues,accurate to 10.9um.

Around 2-3 minutes, sometimes less.  If needed,the scanning can be paused and resumed at any point during the process.

A mouth guard that is designed to fit your teeth will be comfortable to wear and provide the best protection for your teeth and gums.

You can find more detail in clinical research on the benefits of a well fitting mouthguard online at :British Journal of Sports Medicine:“Scale of protection and the various types of sports mouthguard”

A mouthguard is designed to minimise damage to the teeth, soft tissues and greatly reduces risk of concussion. Any force/impact strong enough, can cause injury, or permanent damage to the teeth and soft tissues.  By choosing to wear a mouthguard  you dramatically reduce the potential for more extensive injuries, compared to not wearing one, or wearing a poor fitting one.

All Scans are taken by a UK  trained and registered Dentist. ( GDC No: 71837) who holds a current Enhanced DBR certificate.

They are made here in the UK. The team back up their experience and knowledge to provide you with a professional service which they are very proud of. The technicians all have well over ten years experience and/or have BTEC/City & Guilds/Foundation degree qualifications from the UK.

You can find out more about dental professionals and the GDC at www.gdc-uk.org

The mouthguards are all hand-made by dental technicians, so you can be sure that they are truly the professional option.

They are constructed of layers of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate)

They do NOT contain Latex, Phthalates or BPA.

Yes- the scanning process is ideal, as it replaces the need for impressions.

This depends on the age of the wearer. Adults could wear theirs for 2-3yrs,maybe more.

In younger, growing users,they will need to change theirs more often.

We would recommend to replace their mouthguard after each season of sport/activity, until they have stopped growing.

These are stored  securely on the Cloud and at the Laboratory.  Your model will be allocated with a Unique Identification Number (UIN). This means we can quickly produce new mouthguards if replacements are required, or you wish to order other custom designs.

We will only hold information for the sole purposes of identification and contact details for delivery purposes,and your UIN.

Yes-  we can still construct a mouth guard but we cannot guarantee the longevity/fit if these teeth are lost or replaced with adult teeth- a new scan would be required.

We would advise against having a scan for a mouthguard if any teeth are mobile/loose, have large cavities or are very broken down, as this will compromise the fit and protection.

Yes- we can simply fill in those spaces in the Laboratory and provide a good fit.

No - our Laboratory enables you to custom design your own creations. The only limit is your imagination.
