Mouth Guard

[Xue Sheng]

I am looking for a new Mouth Guard. I have a moldable Everlast but even after molding and trimming it the darn thing makes me gag if I leaveit in to long.

I was looking at a Sisu Max Guard NEXTGEN and an Opro Gold self fitting guard, but I have no idea if those will do the job or if they will fit any better

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated

Son uses Tapout mouthpieces.

Fitting a molded mouth guard is more about technique than brand.

I have no issue with my everlast.

 

[CB Jones]

Do you double mold it?

 

[CB Jones]

We boil and mold it....trim it.....then re-boil and mold it.

Sucking in slightly while molding.

When done the mouthpiece should fit snug enough to the the top row that it stays on your top row of teeth when you open your mouth.

Did no double mold it, but I will be giving it a try

I have this and have been pleased with it. I definitely recommended double molding and sucking in while doing so to ensure a form fit.

We mostly use Tapout or Shock Doctor mouth guards.
Boil, Bit, Mold, Re-heat & Mold again pushing tongue to roof of mouth, sucking, and pressing on the lips.
Molds the guard to the teeth, gums, palet, and lips.

Everlast have served me well, still have all my teeth. Get a double mouth guard, they offer more protection.

There are actually some decent YT videos on how to mold a mouth guard properly.

Just my opinion,

I don't care for doubles...I think singles are better for fighting.

I am gaging and having a hard enough time breathing with the single (in my old age), not sure about a double, but never having used one I truly have no idea what it is like

I always get the cheapest generic $1 mouth guards in bulk.

1) The thick, more expensive mouth guards never feel comfortable to me.
2) I tend to lose mouth guards at the gym every couple of months anyway, so spending significant money on them would be annoying.

I'm guessing you aren't getting it molded well in the back part of your mouth.

Try double molding it and make sure while molding it both times your tongue is pressed to the roof of your mouth and you and sucking in.

Also trim it to the right length. It should extend past your last tooth.

I don't wear a mouthguard in BJJ but in TKD I used to get the Tapout ones with teeth painted on them....they were just too stupid to pass up..

Did this, the Everlast now seems to fit and I can breath and not gag. Going to give it a try this evening if all goes well and I get out of work on time.
