During Braces: Custom-Fit Is Still Possible
Our at-home putty impression kit and braces DON’T MIX — putty locks around brackets and can break them off or cause damage to your brackets when removed.
But custom-fit is still possible during treatment: have your dentist or orthodontist take a digital scan and email the STL file to suppoer@trufitcustoms.com. We will manufacture from the scan.
Never use At-HOme impression kits with braces!
One thing to plan
Braces mean your teeth are actively moving, so a new scan and guard is needed every 4-6 months
After Braces: The Best Time To Go Custom-Fit
The day your braces come off is the day custom-fit gets easy. Once teeth reach their permanent alignment, one scan uploaded to your TRUFIT dashboard covers custom-fit products for life.
Retainer, sports mouthguard, night guard, whitening trays —
reorderable anytime without a new impression.
For Parents
If your athlete just finished orthodontic treatment, this is the best time for custom-fit. You've invested years into that smile — a custom-fit retainer holds the alignment and a custom-fit guard protects your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I get a custom mouthguard with braces?
Yes — via a digital scan from your dentist or orthodontist. Putty impression kits are not suitable with braces.
-
Why can't I use the at-home impression kit with braces?
The putty locks around brackets and can break them off when removed — never use a putty kit over braces.
-
How often do I need a new guard during treatment?
Every 4-6 months — teeth move throughout treatment, so the fit has to move with them.
-
What happens when my braces come off?
Once alignment is permanent, one scan in your TRUFIT dashboard covers custom products for life.
-
Should my kid get a custom guard right after braces?
It's the ideal moment — a custom retainer protects the orthodontic investment and a custom sports guard protects it on the field, from the same scan.
-
Can the retainer and mouthguard come from the same scan?
Yes — one scan, every product.
-
What do I wear during braces if I skip the dentist scan?
An orthodontic boil-and-bite designed for braces — ask your orthodontist. Upgrade to custom the day the braces come off.
-
Is it HSA/FSA eligible?
Yes — TRUFIT custom products are HSA/FSA eligible.
