What types of Sports Mouthguards are available?
Three different mouthguards offer protection (some more than others) on the field, court, or wherever else you are playing. They include:
- Stock sports mouthguards. This is the most generic kind of guard you can get. It offers the lowest level of protection because of how it fits in your mouth.
- Mouth-formed sports mouthguards. There are two kinds. One is made of an acrylic base poured into plastic trays to form a lining. Then it goes in your mouth. The other is thermoplastic, or “boil-and-bite”). It’s softened in hot water and then molded to your teeth with your fingers, tongue, and biting pressure. The main downfall of this type of guard is that most people fail to fit them properly, resulting in a bad fitting and lack of proper protection.
- Custom-made sports mouthguard. This is our top recommendation. We’ll take a mold to offer you the most comfortable, well-fitting, and protective mouthguard of all. No matter how hard you get hit, it will remain in place, meaning there’s no risk of choking on it.
