Mouth Guard for Kids with Braces
Choosing the right mouthguard for kids with braces can be tough, and getting them to wear it regularly can be even harder. However, a well-fitting, effective mouthguard is crucial—not just for your child’s protection but also to preserve your investment in their orthodontic treatment. Thankfully, one product stands out among both users and orthodontists: the Denta-Gard® Kid's Comfort PRO™ sports mouthguard.
Endorsed by Dentists and Coaches alike, the Kid's Comfort PRO™ mouth guard for kids with braces meets the NFHS mouthguard rule requirements, including the mouthguard for braces rule.
For years, the Denta-Gard® Kid's Comfort Pro™ mouthguard was only available through dentists. Now, you can conveniently purchase it directly from the manufacturer's website while still having the option to buy it through your dentist.
The Kid's Comfort PRO™ is designed specifically to meet the unique needs of kids with braces. It provides superior protection for soft tissue against orthodontic appliances while effectively shielding both upper and lower teeth. Unlike traditional mouthguards, which often require boiling or custom fitting, this mouthguard is ready to use right out of the package. Its comfort and ease of use make it a favorite among parents and orthodontists alike. Most importantly, children adapt to wearing the Kid's Comfort PRO™ sports mouthguard much faster than traditional options, encouraging consistent use and reliable protection.
Key Benefits of the Denta-Gard® Kid's Comfort PRO™:
Designed for Braces
Protecting your teeth shouldn't interfere with orthodontic treatment. You can avoid dental injuries without counteracting an orthodontist's technically and precisely planned movement. Therefore, preserving corrections and adjustments your orthodontist has scheduled. Wearing a sports mouthguard over your braces while playing is crucial for protecting both your teeth and orthodontic appliances from damage. Braces have metal brackets and wires that can cause severe cuts to the lips, cheeks, and gums if struck. Kid's Comfort Pro sports mouthguards act as a cushion, reducing the impact force and preventing brackets from breaking or wires from bending, which could lead to painful injuries and expensive orthodontic repairs. It is designed to fit comfortably over braces, providing enough space for tooth movement while ensuring maximum protection. Our braces-friendly mouthguard keeps your teeth, gums, and orthodontic work safe so you can focus on your game without worrying about dental injuries.
Forsus and Herbst adaptable
If you purchase the Kid's Comfort Pro sports mouth guard from our website, there is a checkbox to instruct us to modify it to fit a Herbst appliance or Forsus appliance properly. Otherwise, see our video on how you can make the adjustments.
Comfortable to wear
Soft and pliable, yet strong and tough. Comfortable to wear. Athletes tend to wear it more consistently than other sports mouthguards. Comfort is crucial for long periods of wear, especially in high-intensity sports, ensuring that athletes can perform at their best without distraction. An ill-fitting or bulky mouthguard can feel uncomfortable, making it difficult to breathe, speak, or focus on the game, leading some athletes to remove it or wear it improperly. Choosing a quality comfortable sports mouthguard enhances safety and encourages consistent use and better overall protection.
Protects both upper and lower teeth
Why wear a mouth guard that only protects half of your mouth? Kid's Comfort Pro sports mouthguards protect both upper and lower teeth at the same time. When playing sports, protecting both the upper and lower teeth is essential to prevent dental injuries caused by accidental collisions, or falls. Kid's Comfort Pro mouth guard for kids in braces covers both arches and provides comprehensive protection by absorbing impact forces and reducing the risk of broken teeth, jaw injuries, and soft tissue damage.
While traditional mouthguards primarily shield the upper teeth, our mouthguard ensures that both the upper and lower teeth remain safeguarded during fast-paced play. Additionally, wearing a sports mouthguard can help reduce the risk of concussions by cushioning the jaw and minimizing shock transmission to the brain. To maximize protection and comfort, athletes should choose Kid's Comfort Pro sports mouthguards, durable mouthguards designed for full-coverage protection while maintaining breathability and comfort on the court.
Enhanced Breathing & Speech
Due to the natural spring hinge design, the Kid's Comfort PRO™ sports mouth guard allows open-mouth breathing and understandable speech. Open-mouth breathing can enhance athletic performance by increasing oxygen intake and reducing airway resistance during intense physical exertion. When athletes breathe through their mouths, they can take in larger volumes of air compared to nasal breathing, allowing for quicker oxygen delivery to muscles and faster removal of carbon dioxide. This can be especially beneficial during high-intensity activities that require sustained energy output.

The Denta-Gard® Kid's Comfort PRO™ does NOT fall into the standard three sports mouthguard categories
-
Stock mouth guards: Inexpensive and usually purchased at most sporting goods stores. In most cases, you can not wear this sports mouthguard with braces. They only cover the upper teeth and are usually bulky and make breathing difficult. They provide very little to no protection. Therefore, dentists typically do not recommend their use.
- Boil and bite mouthguard: Inexpensively available at most sporting goods stores. Made of a thermoplastic material that you place in boiling water, then shape around teeth with your fingers. In most cases can not be worn with braces. Covers the upper teeth only and is usually bulky and uncomfortable. Kids tend to chew the ends down which eliminates any cushioning benefit.
- Custom mouthguard: Custom sports mouthguards are usually purchased from your Dentist, they are expensive and typically cost $300.00 and up. Consequently, to protect both upper and lower teeth, you will need to purchase two custom-fit mouthguards.
