What age can kids get a custom mouthguard?

Custom-fit products are available for under-12s; growing athletes may need a new impression as adult teeth come in.

Will they need a new one as they grow?

Possibly — future orders may need a fresh impression until adult dentition is reached.

Putty kits aren't braces-safe, but a dentist digital scan works during treatment — and the moment braces come off is the perfect time to start. See our Braces page.

Does my kid's league require one?

Most youth contact leagues do — football, hockey, and lacrosse almost universally [verify per league].

Do NHL players wear custom-fit mouthguards?

Yes — TRUFIT is worn by many players across the NHL. We proudly serve most NHL teams. Custom-fit guards stay in place all game long.

What's the difference between a custom-fit mouthguard and a boil-and-bite?

Boil-and-bite guards shift during play and block airflow. A TRUFIT guard is made from your exact impression — it fits precisely, stays put, and is trimmed so it never blocks your airway.

How does the at-home impression process work?

We ship you an impression kit, you mold it at home and mail it back, and your custom guard is delivered to your door — no dentist visit required.

Do TRUFIT sports mouthguards prevent concussions?

No appliance can prevent concussions, but research shows that sports mouthguards may reduce severity and the occurrence of concussions.

How long does a custom MMA mouthguard last?

Most players get 1–2 seasons per guard with no chewing and proper care and maintenance. Your impression stays on file so reorders are fast.

Made for Growing Athletes

The number-one problem with kids' mouthguards isn't protection — it's that kids won't wear guards that hurt, slip, or gag them. A custom youth mouthguard is molded from your athlete's own impression, so it fits like it belongs there.

Available for athletes under 12 (growing mouths may need a new impression later). Any league color, name or number printed on the guard so it comes home from practice.
