What's our story...?
Having lost two of his front teeth the day before his 21st birthday in a basketball game, Chris learnt the lesson the hard way how crucial it is to wear a mouthguard when playing sport. Our family has since been involved with rugby in Auckland for over 25 years. Chris has previously coached and managed the Mt Albert Grammar School 1st XV and Under 15's, and he also coached at Suburbs Rugby Club for 8 years, winning the Coach of the Year in 2006.
We were given a mouthguard from overseas in our son's club colours and were constantly asked where other players could get one, so we decided to make club-coloured mouthguards available in NZ.
Originally we looked at getting our mouthguards manufactured overseas but we couldn't be absolutely sure what chemicals they might contain. We wanted to be confident that our team-coloured mouthguards were safe in ALL regards, so we decided we would get them made in New Zealand.
During 2023 we designed our own mouthguard which is ergonomically designed, has smooth rounded edges, is easy to mold, BPA Free, comfortable to wear and is Made in NZ
Helping others
While working with Wellington City Mission we were devasted to find that some players were making their own mouthguards from milk bottles! Other families were sharing mouthguards between family members.
In 2022 we donated 200 mouthguards to Wellington City Mission
In 2023 we donated 100 mouthguards to Tereora College in the Cook Islands
In 2025 we donated 200 mouthguards to the Fiji Rugby Union
Mouthguards play a crucial role in helping to prevent injuires and protecting teeth, mouth, tongue and gums
Auckland Dental Association subsidy
To make these mouthguards even more affordable and accessible, we are proud to partner with the Auckland Dental Association. They are kindly subsidising clubs and teams where financial help is needed. Please get in touch for more information and to find out if your Auckland club qualifies.
