Basketball mouthguard guide
What makes a great basketball mouthguard
Basketball is called a non-contact sport, but elbows under the rim say otherwise. It is one of the most common sports for dental injuries. Here is how to protect your teeth without slowing down your game.
Most basketball mouth injuries come from elbows on rebounds, collisions on drives and falls to the floor. A TRUFIT guard covers every tooth and spreads the force of a hit across the whole arch. Because basketball is played with an open face and no striking, our Standard 3mm guard gives you full protection without bulk.
Players will not wear a guard that feels like a mouthful of plastic. A TRUFIT guard is made from an impression of your teeth and trimmed slim, so you can call screens, talk on defense and breathe on the fast break. It stays put without chewing, so you forget it is there until you need it. Choose your team colors and add your number.
Multiple NBA, NCAA and high school athletes wear TRUFIT. The same lab that makes guards for 22 NHL and 20 NFL team partners makes yours.
FAQ
Basketball mouthguard questions
Why do basketball players need mouthguards?
Elbows and collisions under the rim make basketball one of the most common sports for dental injuries.
What thickness should I get for basketball?
Standard 3mm: protection without bulk for an open-face sport.
Can I talk on defense with it in?
Yes. Precision cuts keep your speech clear.
Can I wear it with braces?
Impression kits are not suitable for braces: you will get stuck. Ask your dentist or orthodontist for a digital scan and send it to us instead. Re-scan every 4 to 6 months while your teeth are moving. See our Braces page.
How long does it take, and how long does it last?
About 2 to 4 weeks from order to delivery. Most players get 1 to 2 seasons from a guard with good care, and your impression stays on file, so reorders arrive in about 7 to 10 business days.
