Tackles, rucks and scrums bring constant contact close to your face, so a mouthguard is essential kit for every rugby player. AlienGuards are custom-fit from an impression of your own teeth, so the guard fits your bite and stays where it belongs.
Our pick for rugby: NanoBite
NanoBite ($94.99) is the AlienGuard we recommend for rugby. It's our ultra-slim, 4 mm, low-profile guard and the best of our models for breathing and talking, so you can keep working through phases and call lineouts. Our 5 mm guards, Origin and Origin Pro, are made for combat sports like boxing, MMA, Muay Thai and kickboxing. Compare every model on the model comparison page, or read our rugby mouthguard guide for how to choose, braces and club orders.
Fit through 80 minutes
A custom guard made from your impression is more comfortable and secure than a store-bought guard. It doesn't slip or fall out, so you aren't adjusting it between phases, and it's easier to wear through a full match and training session. Custom guards are thin and precise, so most players breathe and call lineouts normally.
Club colors
NanoBite comes in clear, white or black with custom text, such as your number or initials. Club orders through the Association can add your club crest.
Buying for a whole roster? Team orders through the AlienGuards Association get 20% off mouthguards and merch (all models, including NanoBite and PowerBite), with a minimum order of 5 mouthguards and your team logo plus athlete names or numbers on every guard.
Made in our lab
Your impression becomes a plaster model of your bite. We pressure-form dental-grade material over it and finish it by hand in the USA.
How ordering works
Build your guard online and we ship you an at-home impression kit. Taking the impression takes about 10 minutes, and the putty sets in 2 minutes 30 seconds; the impression guide walks you through it. Mail the impression back to our lab, and your guard is crafted within 10–14 business days after we receive a good impression, then shipped with tracking. Not sure your impression worked? Email a photo to support@alienguards.com and we will tell you if it can be used.
Care
Rinse before and after each use, brush gently, store it in a ventilated case away from heat, and replace it every year, or sooner if it's damaged or worn. Athletes with braces can get AlienGuards, but their dentist needs to take the impression instead of using our at-home kit, so the braces don't get damaged. Your dentist can take an impression or 3D scan, then ship it to us or email it to impressions@alienguards.com.
