We are proud to be a sponsor of the Kristin-School and Rangitoto College sports team custom-fitted mouthguard program. We love beautiful smiles. Protect your teeth during contact sports. Get your custom fitted mouthguard and make it part of your team sports gear.
Always wear a mouth guard, it will protect your teeth/lips and prevent you from biting yourself during strenuous sports like rugby, football, basketball, hockey or boxing. Mouth guards can also help minimise concussions by stabilising your mouth during contact sports.
