When it comes to sports safety, a gum shield isn’t just a piece of kit — it’s essential oral protection. Whether it’s a rugby mouth guard, a kids gum shield, or a mouthguard for any contact sport, the right fit makes all the difference.
At Game Guard, we believe comfort and compliance should go hand in hand.
Let’s dive into why that’s so important.
Fit: The Game-Changer for Protection
A mouth guard that doesn’t fit properly is about as useful as a chocolate teapot. If it’s too loose, it’ll fall out faster than a winger on match day — leaving teeth exposed to painful (and potentially expensive) injuries.
Too tight or bulky? It will be uncomfortable, making breathing, talking, or focusing on the game harder. That’s a quick route to kids ditching their gumshield altogether.
A snug, comfortable fit keeps the gum shield where it belongs — firmly in place. It absorbs and disperses impacts, helping to protect teeth, gums, and jaws.
Comfortable Gum Shields = Happier Kids
Let’s face it — getting kids to wear a mouth guard can feel like asking them to eat broccoli. But if a gum shield is comfy and fits well, they’re far more likely to wear it. For parents, PE teachers, and coaches, that’s a win. No more nagging, no more gum shields stuffed in kit bags or “accidentally” left at home.
Game Guard’s boil-and-bite gumshields mould to the teeth, creating a personalised fit that feels natural. So, whether it’s a kids gum shield for a weekend rugby match or a junior gum shield for school sports, comfort drives compliance — and that means better protection.
UKCA & CE Approved: Because Safety Isn’t Optional
A good fit is crucial, but safety certifications seal the deal. Every Game Guard gum shield is UKCA and CE-approved, meaning it’s tested to meet rigorous safety standards. It’s not just about ticking boxes—it’s about knowing your child is protected by a mouth guard that will perform when it matters most.
