Canadian Mouthguard

Is it hard to make the impressions at home? – We’ve helped thousands of people successfully make their at-home impressions using our kit. Because everyone’s mouth is different, it’s important to have an impression tray that adjusts. In 2011, we patented our adjustable tray to make it even easier to get a perfect impression. We include an extra set of impression material, just in case. You’ll want to watch the video and make sure you’ve got everything prepared properly. But in our experience, making the impression at home is much easier than scheduling an appointment, driving across town, sitting in a waiting room, and spending hundreds of extra dollars to have your orthodontist do this for you.

How Long Does It Take to get my Canadian Mouthguard? – As soon as your impression is received, it will take approximately 10 business days before your new retainers are completed and shipped. International shipping can be a lengthy process. Please be patient when ordering internationally. During holiday sales, we experience a massive influx of orders. While we will do our best to complete your order as quickly as possible, processing times are subject to change with orders from holiday sales. Please be patient with our team during these times. 

Do I need a Canadian Mouthguard? – If you play any sports chances are you will need a mouthguard to protect yourself and your teeth from costly injuries. We’ve made it easy for you by recommending that athletes in the following sports use our 3 mm mouthguards – Basketball, Football, Rugby, Baseball, Softball, Volleyball, Gymnastics, Skateboarding, Hockey, Skiing, Water Polo, Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Snowboarding, Water Surfing, Wrestling, Weight lifting, Power Lifting, and Equestrian. 

Can I Wear A Mouthguard with Braces: We will not make a custom mouthguard for athletes with braces. Our impression kit is not intended to be used with people who have braces due to the sticky nature of the putty. If you need a mouthguard and have braces please visit your dentist for a solution. 

We recommend our 6 mm custom mouthguard for extra protection for the following sports: Football, Rugby, Hockey, MMA, Boxing, Karate, Wrestling, and any other sports where you are expecting direct contact to the face. 

What if I mess up my impression? If the impression material hardens or the impression doesn’t come out well, we will send you out a replacement putty free of charge, the tray is reusable. If the kit is sent in and the impression(s) were bad it would be a 15 dollar charge to cover shipping another impression kit to you.

Are your products BPA Free? – Yes! All our products (retainers, whitening trays, night guards, and mouthguards) are BPA, BPS, DEHP, and latex-free.

Does Sporting Smiles accept HSA or Flex payment options? Yes! You can use your HSA card and if any special invoicing is required Sporting Smiles will work with your insurance company to complete the transaction. Teeth-grinding guards are an excellent choice to spend your HSA account on. Teeth-grinding is a serious oral health issue and without proper care or a solution can lead to expensive surgery or permanent facial reconstruction as the jaw bone shifts. 

Can I add whitening trays to my mouthguard order?

Yes, but UPPER AND LOWER IMPRESSIONS ARE REQUIRED!

You will receive enough supplies to make an impression of your upper and lower teeth even though you ONLY ordered 1 upper or 1 lower for your Mouthguard as you WHITEN your upper and lower teeth. 

Why is Sporting Smiles so much cheaper than my dentist? – To purchase a custom mouthguard from your dentist in the past, your dentist would have to take an impression at his office and send it out to a dental laboratory for construction. This requires using valuable office time which needs to be incorporated into the cost of the guard. Because we operate our laboratory and are using a self-impression method we can dramatically reduce the cost of your mouthguard.

I Have a Small Mouth, Do You Have Smaller Impression Trays? – Our patented impression trays fit over 95% of our customers because they are adjustable and are designed to fit any mouth, large or small. In some rare cases, if you know you have a small mouth we do offer smaller trays. If you are in this percentile for small mouths, please contact our customer service before ordering so we can put a note on your order to send small trays.
