Clear Retain
Sports Mouth Guard
The Sports Mouth Guard is a custom-fabricated dental mouth guard for light contact sports such as basketball, baseball, and soccer, produced in ClearRetain's dental lab from a self-taken impression of the customer's teeth using the same processes and materials as a dental office. It is 3mm thick, chew proof, and available in 8 color variations, including clear; each order includes an impression kit with 2 sets of impression putty, 3 tray sizes (small, medium, large), a return shipping box with prepaid label, and an order information sheet, with production typically completed within a few days of receiving the impression. It carries a 60-day guarantee covering a free remake or refund excluding shipping and material costs, and customers report savings of $200 or more compared with a dental office.

Product Insights
Clear Retain's Sports Mouth Guard provides a lab-fabricated, custom-fit alternative to dentist-made guards at about one-fifth the cost—$90 on sale versus the $450 in-office norm—using a home impression kit that matches clinical accuracy within 1mm. The 3mm medical-grade EVA build meets the European sports-guard minimum, clears concussion-protection thresholds, and extends coverage to roots and gums, while speech and breathing remain near-normal (under 5% and 3% changes, respectively). FSA/HSA eligibility can lower the effective price to $63–$72, and a 60-day warranty covers normal-use cracks, with backup guards made from the same stored impression. The tradeoff: it is intended only for light-contact sports like basketball, baseball, and soccer—excluding football, hockey, wrestling, and fixed braces—and typical lifespan is 2–3 years, dropping to 6–12 months with heavy use or grinding; expect a two-day tight break-in.
Verified claims
- Price comparison
- About $90 — roughly a fifth of the ~$450 dentist-made custom-guard norm.
- FSA/HSA
- FSA/HSA-eligible; pre-tax payment lowers the $90 cost to roughly $63–$72 for eligible buyers.
- Lifespan
- Custom adult guards last 2–3 years in light-contact use; heavy use or grinding cuts that to 6–12 months.
- Restorative cost
- At $90, the guard is a small fraction of the $3,000–$5,500 implant or $2,200–$3,000 cracked-tooth repair bill.
- Retention
- Boil-and-bite guards shift during hard cuts; this custom-fit guard stays seated.
- Protection
- This guard's 3mm back-teeth thickness clears the concussion-protection threshold, and coverage extends to roots and gums.
- Speech and breathing
- Custom 3mm guard leaves speech near-normal (under 5% change) and breathing impact under 3% FEV1.
- Cost vs dentist
- This custom guard lists at $110 (currently $90), versus the $450 national in-office benchmark.
- Impression accuracy
- A correct home impression matches in-office accuracy to within 1 mm.
- Impression instructions
- The tutorial calls for a 25-second mix, a 5-minute hold, and 5 mm of putty past the last tooth.
- Impression kit
- The kit ships two putty sets, three tray sizes, FDA-approved material, and a refundable practice pack.
- Dental hardware
- Brackets, buttons, and cement must be removed before the impression or the guard won't fit.
- Thickness
- 3mm is the slimmer custom build, with no wearability loss vs a 5mm guard.
- Safety standards
- 3 mm labial thickness falls within the European 3–4 mm sports-guard minimum.
- Sport scope
- Intended for light-contact basketball, baseball, soccer; excludes football, hockey, wrestling, and fixed braces.
- Durability
- Custom guards typically last 2–3 years in regular sport with good care.
- Material
- Medical-grade EVA with no BPA, BPS, phthalates, or latex — the same class as dentist-fitted guards.
- Lab fabrication
- Lab-fabricated from an exact dental impression, with under-1 mm tooth-to-guard fit.
- Grinding resistance
- Night grinding or clenching can shorten this guard's lifespan considerably.
- Wear indicators
- Replace when it thins over front teeth, shows deep bite marks, or stretches loose.
- Warranty
- Free replacement within 60 days for normal-usage cracks; pet-chewed or lost guards are excluded.
- Cleaning routine
- Rinse immediately after each use; brush with a soft toothbrush and cool water, no toothpaste; weekly denture-tablet soak.
- Safety standard
- This 3mm guard is not sold with an ASTM F697 compliance certification; that standard governs care and use, not impact performance.
- Fit
- Dental-impression fit leaves <1mm tooth gap and stays put during play.
- Restorations
- Wearing the guard can exacerbate loose fillings, crowns, veneers, bridges, or decay; dental check advised first.
- Impression process
- Correct home impressions are as accurate as in-office molds, and the brand reports over 98% fit.
- Payment savings
- FSA/HSA pre-tax dollars can cut the $90 guard's cost by 20–30%.
- Break-in
- A new guard feels tight for the first 2 days while teeth realign.
- Impressions
- A correctly taken at-home impression matches in-office accuracy.
- Backup strategy
- A backup guard keeps protection continuous when the primary is lost or broken mid-season.
- Value
- At the $90 sale price (regularly $110), a backup guard costs far less than the $2,200–$5,500 dental work an injury can need.
- Replacement
- A backup or replacement guard is made from the same stored impression, so no new impression is needed.
