Custom-Fit Mouthguards for Combat and Contact Sports
GumGear mouthguards are custom-moulded from your own dental impression — taken at home with our professional-grade kit, shipped back in the prepaid envelope, and fabricated to your exact bite. Same precision as a dentist-made guard, without the dentist visit. Total turnaround is 14–21 days from order to guard in hand.
Contact Guard — $99
Built for contact sports: rugby, hockey, lacrosse, basketball, and BJJ. Custom-moulded from your dental impression for a fit that does not shift during play. BPA-free, latex-free, medical-grade EVA, multi-layer pressure-laminated.
Combat Guard — $169
Heavier construction with extra layers and greater thickness, engineered for strike-heavy combat sports: MMA, boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing. Same dental-impression fit as Contact Guard with a protection profile built for repeated direct-to-face impact.
How they're made
GumGear mouthguards are pressure-laminated over a positive cast taken from your dental impression — the same multi-layer process used by dental labs. They are not 3D printed. Materials are BPA-free, latex-free, medical-grade EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate), the standard material for athletic mouthguards.
Why custom-fit vs boil-and-bite?
A $15 boil-and-bite mouthguard uses generic heat-moulding against your teeth and tends to shift during hard rounds. A custom-fit guard moulded from a dental impression — like GumGear — stays in place, distributes impact more evenly, and allows easier breathing and speaking. GumGear costs $99–$169 versus $250–$600 for a dentist-made guard, with the same impression-based precision.
How it works
- Order online and design in the 3D customiser.
- Receive a professional dental-impression kit by mail.
- Take your impression at home in 5–10 minutes.
- Ship the impression back in the prepaid envelope.
- GumGear manufactures your guard and ships it to you.
If the guard does not fit correctly, we remake it at no additional cost. Contact us at contact@gumgear.com.

Frequently asked questions
What makes GumGear different from a boil-and-bite mouthguard?
GumGear guards are custom-made from your own dental impression. You take an impression at home using our kit, ship it back, and we fabricate a guard moulded to your exact bite — no shifting, no gagging, easier breathing and speaking, and better impact absorption than any boil-and-bite.
How is this different from a dentist-made mouthguard?
Fit quality is comparable — both use dental impressions — but you don't need to visit a dentist, book two appointments, or pay $250–$600. GumGear is the same professional fit, delivered to your door, designed by you, at a fraction of the cost.
What is the difference between Contact Guard and Combat Guard?
Both are custom-moulded from your dental impression. Contact Guard ($99) is for contact sports — rugby, hockey, lacrosse, basketball, BJJ. Combat Guard ($169) uses heavier construction with more layers and greater thickness for strike-heavy combat sports: MMA, boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing.
Are GumGear mouthguards 3D printed?
No. GumGear guards are pressure-laminated over a positive cast of your dental impression — the same multi-layer process used by dental labs. Materials are BPA-free, latex-free, medical-grade EVA.
Do I need to go to a dentist to take an impression?
No. Our kit is designed to be taken at home. The included instructions walk you through it in 5–10 minutes.
How long does the full process take from order to guard in hand?
14–21 days total: we ship the kit, you take the impression and ship it back (prepaid label), we manufacture your guard and ship it to you.
How long will a mouthguard last?
With normal use: 6–12 months for contact sports, 3–9 months for heavy combat use. Replace when you see visible wear, chips, or loss of shape.
How do I clean my mouthguard?
Rinse with cool water after every use. Brush with a soft toothbrush and mild soap weekly. Store in the provided case. Avoid hot water (it can distort the fit), hot cars, and alcohol-based mouthwash (degrades the material over time).
What if my guard doesn't fit when it arrives?
Contact us within 30 days. We'll diagnose the issue and remake the guard at no additional charge under our fit guarantee.
Do I need an account to order?
No — guest checkout is fully supported. You can create an account after purchase to track orders and save designs.
Do you offer team or gym pricing?
Yes — email contact@gumgear.com and we'll put together a quote for your team, gym, or event.
