Affordable Gumshields That Don’t Compromise on Safety or Quality

Because protecting teeth shouldn’t come with a hefty price tag.

We all know contact sports come with bumps, bruises, and the occasional knock to the mouth. Whether it's a wet Wednesday afternoon playing rugby, hockey in a noisy school hall, or a full-throttle PE lesson, a gumshield isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s essential kit.

But let’s be realistic: sports gear is expensive.

Parents are juggling school trips, shoes, and uniforms. Teachers and coaches are trying to stretch budgets further than ever. And when you’re watching the pennies, it’s tempting to go for the cheapest option.

With Game Guard, “affordable” doesn’t mean flimsy or ineffective. Our affordable gumshields are designed to protect teeth properly while remaining accessible for parents, schools, and clubs working to tight budgets.

Why Affordable Gumshields Still Need to Meet Safety Standards

Made in the UK: Affordable Gumshields You Can Trust

Our gumshields are UKCA and CE certified, made right here in the UK. That means they meet strict safety standards—so they’re not just affordable; they’re proven to protect.

Whether it’s a rugby match, a school PE lesson, or a weekend hockey game, our gumshields are designed to take the hits so teeth don’t have to.

Affordable Gumshields Trusted by Schools, Clubs & Parents

Thousands of schools and sports clubs across the UK rely on affordable gumshields from Game Guard to keep players protected without overspending. From junior sizes for the youngest athletes to adult gumshields for older teens and grown-ups, we’ve made it simple to stay protected, without blowing the budget.

And let’s face it: kids lose things.

That’s why we keep our prices low, so having a spare in the kit bag (or the glove box!) is no big deal.

Why Paying More Doesn’t Always Mean Better Protection

Some brands stick a premium price tag on the same level of protection. Not us.

At Game Guard, we manufacture everything ourselves. No middlemen. No pointless mark-ups. Just well-made, safety-tested gumshields that do their job properly—and don’t cost a fortune.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are affordable gumshields still safe for contact sports?

Yes. Affordable gumshields can be just as safe as premium-priced options as long as they are UKCA and CE approved. Game Guard gumshields meet strict safety standards, meaning they are tested to protect teeth, gums, and jaws during contact sports.

What’s the difference between cheap and affordable gumshields?

“Cheap” gumshields often cut corners on materials or testing. Affordable gumshields, like Game Guard, are UK-made, safety-certified, and designed to offer reliable protection without unnecessary mark-ups.

Are Game Guard gumshields suitable for schools and clubs?

Yes. Game Guard gumshields are widely used by schools, PE departments, and grassroots sports clubs across the UK. They’re available in junior and adult sizes, easy to fit, and cost-effective for bulk ordering.

Do affordable gumshields offer the same protection as expensive brands?

In many cases, yes. Protection depends on fit, material quality, and certification, not price. A properly fitted, UKCA & CE-approved boil-and-bite gumshield can provide excellent protection for school and club sport.

How often should a gumshield be replaced?

A gumshield should be replaced if it becomes loose, damaged, chewed, or no longer fits properly. For growing children, replacement is typically recommended once per season or sooner if fit changes.

Are affordable gumshields comfortable for kids to wear?

Yes. Game Guard gumshields use a boil-and-bite design, allowing them to be moulded at home for a comfortable, secure fit. Comfort is key to ensuring kids actually wear them consistently.
