Rugby
Scrums collapse, mauls get stacked, and open play puts a boot or a stray elbow near your jaw before you can brace for it. A Contact Guard holds its seal through all of that — scheduled contact or not.

Contact Guard · $99
The custom mouthguard built for contact sport.
Rugby, hockey, lacrosse, basketball, BJJ — five sports whose contact is constant, incidental or both. Contact Guard is moulded from your own dental impression, pressure-laminated over a cast — not boil-and-bite — and ships in 10–14 days.
Build your Contact GuardTrusted by the best
Built for your sport
Five sports. One guard.
Every sport below hits differently. Contact Guard's build doesn't assume one contact pattern — it's fitted to your bite either way.
Custom mouthguard for rugby
Hockey
A stick to the mouth or a deflected puck closes in faster than you can react, and a check into the boards can drive your own jaw into your bite. Hockey's hits come from sticks, pucks and boards as often as from another player, and Contact Guard is built to stay seated through that.
Lacrosse
Stick checks land on hands and head, and a shot off a hard rubber ball can clear 90 mph from a few yards out. Lacrosse mixes deliberate stick pressure with pure projectile speed — Contact Guard is built for both.
Basketball
No one calls basketball a contact sport until an elbow clears space under the rim or a box-out turns into a forearm across the mouth. It's the most underestimated contact sport for dental injury, and Contact Guard covers the hit nobody saw coming.
BJJ
BJJ isn't a striking sport, but scrambles put knees, elbows and a training partner's skull closer to your mouth than any takedown ever will. The risk is compression and accidental contact, not punches — which is exactly what Contact Guard, BJJ's standard recommendation, is built for.
Fit, up close
Your teeth, in negative.
A boil-and-bite guard remembers roughly where your teeth were. A pressure-laminated guard holds every cusp, every gap, every rotation — which is why it stays put when you get hit.

How it works
Two ways to get measured.
No dentist, no appointment, no boil-and-bite. You take the impression on your own sofa and we do the rest.
- 01
Order
Pick Contact or Combat and design your guard in the 3D studio. Checkout takes two minutes.
- 02
Impression kit at home
A professional-grade impression kit ships to your door — putty, trays, instructions, prepaid return label.
- 03
Ship it back
Bite down for two minutes, box it up, drop it in the mail. The label is already paid.
- 04
Guard in 10–14 days
We scan your impression digitally, then pressure-laminate multi-layer EVA over a cast of it — 2–3 business days in the lab, 10–14 days door to door. It arrives fight-ready, fitted to your exact bite.
Already sitting in a chair for a check-up, or you'd rather someone else held the tray? Bring us a digital scan instead.
- 01
Order
Same start: pick your tier, build your design, check out. Tell us at checkout you're going the scan route.
- 02
Get scanned
Book your dentist and ask for a digital intraoral scan of both arches. Most surgeries do it chairside in under ten minutes.
- 03
They send us the file
We email your dentist the upload link the day you order. They send the scan straight over — STL or PLY, nothing for you to post.
- 04
Guard in 10–14 days
We cast the scan and laminate, then ship. Same guard, same 1-year fit guarantee — you just skipped the putty.
The comparison
Three ways to protect your teeth. One built around yours.
Boil-and-bite is cheap and instant. Dentist-made is precise and expensive. GumGear sits in between — dental-impression precision, at a price and turnaround built for athletes, not emergencies.
