Best Mouthguards for Braces: Why Impact’s QuickFIT Guards Are the Ultimate Choice for Athletes

When you’re an athlete with braces, protecting your smile isn’t optional. It’s essential. Braces add sharp edges, brackets, and wires that can easily cut the inside of your lips and cheeks during impact. Whether you’re competing in MMA, boxing, football, lacrosse, hockey, or any high-contact sport, the right mouthguard is what keeps your orthodontic investment safe.

But here’s the challenge:
Not all mouthguards are made for braces. Many are too tight, too bulky, or simply don’t adapt well to changing teeth.

At Impact Mouthguards, we’ve spent years hand-crafting custom guards for athletes at every level. And one of our most popular solutions for braces athletes is our QuickFIT Mouthguarda guard that delivers protection, comfort, and performance without the hassle of a full custom mold.

Let’s break down what makes a mouthguard great for braces, and why QuickFIT is the perfect fit.

What Athletes With Braces Should Look for in a Mouthguard

1. Proper Clearance for Brackets & Wires

A good braces mouthguard must create enough space around your orthodontic hardware so the guard doesn’t get stuck or place pressure on brackets.

2. A Secure but Comfortable Fit

The guard shouldn’t feel like it’s squeezing your teeth. It should stay in place while still allowing your jaw to relax and breathe normally.

3. Ability to Adapt as Teeth Shift

Braces adjust your bite constantly—so your mouthguard needs to accommodate those changes without becoming unusable.

4. Durable Protection Against Impact

High-density materials are a must. Cheap, basic boil-and-bites simply don’t offer the shock absorption you need in contact sports.

5. Easy to Fit and Wear

No athlete wants to spend an hour molding a guard or worrying about getting it wrong. Simple is better.

Why Impact Mouthguards’ QuickFIT Is the Best Mouthguard for Braces

✔ Designed Specifically for Braces Athletes

QuickFIT has built-in space to accommodate brackets and wires comfortably. You won’t feel pressure on your braces, and the guard won’t lock around your hardware, a common (and scary) issue with standard boil-and-bites.

✔ No Impressions Required

Say goodbye to molding kits! QuickFITs give you a near-custom feel in minutes. Just boil, bite, press, and you’re ready to go.

✔ Adapts as Your Teeth Move

One of the biggest perks:
QuickFITs are remold-able! As your teeth begin to change and shift in the braces you can remold your guard 3-4 times to get that next to perfect fit back.

✔ High-Performance Protection

Impact guards are handcrafted for athletes in all sports! QuickFITs use durable, dental grade materials designed for real impact. 

✔ Better Breathability & Communication

Unlike bulky orthodontic guards sold in big-box stores, QuickFITs allow athletes to breathe, talk, and hydrate naturally, without removing the guard constantly.

✔ Trusted by Combat Athletes, Football Players, and Fighters Nationwide

QuickFIT is used by athletes across USA Boxing, combat sports, football programs, and training gyms who need real protection.
