When my sister had braces, she started to play baseball, so the orthodontist had to make one up for her..
I believe it's really hard to find a mouthguard which fits over your teeth with braces..
Orthodontists can make them up for you and I'm not quite sure how much it costs but it's pretty expensive..Health Question & Answer

Yes you will need to wear a mouthguard whilst in braces and playing any sport.. The orthodontist will definately we able to make you up one and im sure that you will have to pay a fee for it.. It would be unusual for this to be included in the cost.. It shouldnt be more than a couple of hundred, less im sureHealth Question & Answer

With hockey you will definitely need a mouth guard..
It will be even more important with the braces than without..
The mouth guard may be included in your treatment..
It may cost a little extra..
Ask your orthodontist when you see him next..
