Protect your teeth during contact sports. Always wear a mouthguard. It will protect your teeth/lips and prevent you from biting yourself during strenuous sports like rugby, football, basketball, hockey or boxing ...!
Get your custom-fitted mouthguard and make it part of your team sports gear.

WILL BRACES AFFECT your SPORTS & EXERCISE?
Your braces won’t stop you from playing sports, but you’ll need to take some extra precautions during these activities.
.
Always wear a mouthguard. It is a rule you should follow, even if you don’t have braces, because it will protect your teeth.
.
Braces are made to fit comfortably in your mouth, but if you get hit with a ball or the shoulder of a teammate, they can do some serious damage, so the mouth guard is vital whenever you head out to play.
If your school is interested in participating in our mouthguard sponsorship program, please send us an email and discuss what we can do for you. dres.bachmann@gmail.com

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
