Occlusal & Sports Mouthguards

Protection That Fits Your Life—and Your Smile

Whether you're grinding your teeth at night or gearing up for contact sports, a custom mouthguard is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your smile. At Smile, Co., we create precision-fitted mouthguards designed for your exact bite—offering superior comfort, safety, and durability compared to store-bought options.

From TMJ protection to athletic performance, we’ve got your teeth covered.

Our Custom Mouthguard Options

We offer two types of professionally made mouthguards to match your lifestyle and protection needs:

1. Occlusal Nightguards (for Bruxism & TMJ)

If you grind or clench your teeth at night (bruxism), you may wake up with headaches, jaw tension, or worn-down enamel. A nightguard acts as a cushion between your teeth, protecting them from damage and helping your jaw relax.

• Custom-fitted to your bite
  
• Durable yet slim and comfortable
  
• Helps prevent TMJ symptoms and enamel erosion
  
• Often part of TMJ therapy
  

We typically recommend nightguards for patients with signs of grinding, stress-related clenching, or ongoing jaw discomfort.

2. Sports Mouthguards

If you or your child plays contact or high-impact sports, a custom sports mouthguard helps prevent serious injuries like tooth fractures, lip lacerations, and jaw trauma.

• Ideal for football, hockey, basketball, martial arts, and more
  
• Fits snugly and securely—won’t fall out mid-game
  
• Offers better speech and breathing than bulky store-bought guards
  
• Available in a variety of colors and styles
  

These are also a smart option for patients wearing Invisalign or retainers who need protection during practice or competition.

Why Go Custom?

Over-the-counter guards may offer minimal protection, but they often don’t fit well—and that can lead to discomfort, breathing issues, or poor compliance. Our custom guards are:

• Digitally designed for precision
  
• More durable than boil-and-bite models
  
• Comfortable enough to wear every night or every game
  
• Backed by professional fit checks and long-term support
  

Your mouthguard should be something you want to wear—not something you tolerate.

Who Should Consider a Mouthguard?

You may benefit from a custom mouthguard if you:

• Wake up with headaches or jaw soreness
  
• Have visible enamel wear or cracks
  
• Clench or grind your teeth (even subconsciously)
  
• Play sports with physical contact or the risk of falls
  
• Have had previous dental trauma or restorations you want to protect
  

If you're unsure, we can check for signs of wear or stress during your next cleaning and exam.

Smile, Co. Mouthguards: Designed Around You

We don’t do one-size-fits-all—and that includes prevention. Every mouthguard we fabricate is tailored to your unique bite, habits, and goals. We also make sure your guard works well with any other treatment you’re undergoing, like:

• TMJ therapy
  
• Orthodontics or Invisalign
  
• Cosmetic restorations
  

We serve patients across Tampa, Tampa Palms, Hunters Green, and Pebble Creek with comfortable, high-quality oral appliances that actually make a difference.

Insurance & Pricing

Occlusal nightguards are often covered by dental insurance when prescribed for bruxism or TMJ symptoms. Sports mouthguards may not be covered, but we offer affordable pricing and custom options to suit your needs. Our upcoming membership program will include discounts on preventive services like guards and screenings.
