Mail-order custom mouthguards have become more common, but they skip the one thing a dentist provides in person: a precise fit checked by a professional who knows your bite, your teeth, and your dental history. That matters even more for young athletes who are still growing and changing.
Who Needs a Custom Mouthguard?
- Lacrosse, hockey, and field hockey players, sports with a high risk of contact to the face and jaw.
- Football, basketball, wrestling, and martial arts athletes.
- Young athletes wearing braces or Invisalign who need extra protection during play.
- Weekend warriors and adult recreational league players.
Manhasset’s Indians have one of the longest-running lacrosse programs on Long Island, and between travel lacrosse, school teams, and rec hockey leagues, a lot of local kids are on the field or the ice more days than not. A properly fitted mouthguard is one of the simplest ways to protect a young athlete’s smile through a full season. Young athletes wearing braces or Invisalign need extra protection during play, we’ll fit your mouthguard to work with your treatment, not against it.

- Custom-fitted same visit — your ArmourBite mouthguard is fitted in less than 20 minutes, right in our office.
