Neomorph is all about doing the right thing, from supplying mouthguards that do what we say they will, to following principles that define our culture and impact. Our commitment extends to third-party partners, acknowledging that our impact goes beyond our own operations. This statement highlights our direction and dedication to responsible practices.
Our MISSION is to protect smiles and promote confidence. We are dedicated to designing and crafting high-quality, Australian-made mouthguards that offer a secure custom fit, protection, comfort, and ultimate functionality that will not inhibit wearers’ performance. Through innovation, research, and a commitment to excellence, we aim to empower sportspeople to pursue their passions with confidence and safety. We are driven by the belief that everyone deserves to leave the sporting arena with a healthy and happy smile, irrespective of their circumstances, and strive to make this a reality through our products and services.
Our VISION is to create a revolutionary line of over-the-counter mouldable mouthguards that set new standards for comfort, protection, and performance. Through passion, knowledge, and an unwavering commitment to improving the status quo, we will push the boundaries of mouthguard technology to make dental protection accessible and appealing for all. We aspire to qualify for the trust of athletes, dental professionals, sports institutions, and industry collaborators through quality clinical testing and market research.

SOCIAL IMPACT
Product range aligned with Purpose: We are committed to reviewing the Neomorph range to ensure that it aligns with our Purpose. These reviews will help us identify opportunities that better align with providing a complete and inclusive range of products.

Our aim is to always be accessible to do that.
Compliance: We comply with all relevant laws and regulations, both locally and internationally, and continually monitor changes to adapt our practices accordingly.
