IcemanSK Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 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. Being a good fighter is One thing. Being a good person is Everything.

Beyond a certain point its also a case of diminishing returns. "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Being a good fighter is One thing. Being a good person is Everything.

Something like these...http://www.gladiatorguards.comI 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.
