Basketball and Water Polo are fast-moving contact sports where elbows, collisions, and accidental contact can result in chipped teeth, broken teeth, jaw injuries and the risk of concussion.

A Basketball/Water Polo-specific mouthguard is designed to:

• Fit comfortably

• Allow easier breathing

• Make communication easier

• Reduce bulk in the mouth

• Help protect teeth, gums and jaws

• Reduce the risk of concussion.

Water Polo Mouthguards – Why They Matter

Water polo is fast, physical, and played in close contact — and despite this, mouthguards are not yet mandatory in most leagues. Research shows that around 36% of water-polo players report a concussion, and mouthguards can help reduce impact forces through the jaw, potentially reducing the risk or severity of concussion.

Many water-polo athletes avoid mouthguards because they feel bulky — so we’ve created a slimmer design originally developed for basketball players.

Our Slim Basketball Mouthguard is ideal for Water Polo because it allows players to:

• Breathe easily

• Communicate clearly

• Stay comfortable without extra bulk

By reducing bulk without sacrificing protection, Basketball Mouth guards offer a safer and more comfortable option than traditional sports guards. They help lower the risk of dental injuries and concussion, while giving players the confidence to perform at their best. Made in NZ and BPA-free, our mouthguards combine safety, comfort, and team spirit in 4 colours and are available in Youth and Senior Sizes.
