A mouthguard, a.k.a. a gumshield, mouth protector or sports guard is an appliance that covers the dentition and surrounding mucosa with the aim of preventing or reducing trauma to the teeth, gingival tissue, lips, and jaws.

The goal of a mouth guard is to dissipate the force between the upper and lower teeth and act as a shock absorber, which can help protect the lips and tissue inside the mouth from laceration as well as the teeth and the jaw from dislocation.

There are three types of mouth guards: custom-fabricated guards made by dental professionals using a model of the patient’s teeth and vacuum-forming or heat-pressure lamination; form-fitted, boil-and-bite guards made by the athlete biting the mouth guard; stock guards, bought directly over the counter for immediate wear.
