I recommend buying the most expensive mouthpiece that you can, honestly. If you can have your dentist make one designed for MA, do so. I spent $200 on my current one from my dentist simply because one tooth replacement can be $900 or more.

Whilst I know what you're getting at, high price tag doesn't always mean best quality. Beyond a certain point its also a case of diminishing returns.

I'd agree that one's bought at sporting goods stores have their limits protectiveness. And to be fair, a dentist made mouthpiece does not guarantee 100% effectiveness, either. After going with a dentist-made guard 20 years ago, I'd never go back. Not just for protection, but for fit, as well. Thanks for helping clarify the limits.

Has anyone tried ones that you do the impressions at home for? Something like these...

I think both Opro and the Funky Gums recommended are impression ones similar to these. Definitely with the Opro kit I found I had a better fitting mouthguard than I've had from the boil and bite and even from the dentist.
