    Mouthguards

    I am looking for a good mouthguard that is not too expensive, but that allows you to breath as well. Any suggestions?

    i just got a cheap one from walmart for like a dollar or something. once i molded it, it fit perfect of course and for a dollar, you can't really beat it.

    I really loved my shock doctor breathable mouth guard but it's multi layer structure seems to cause splitting. I bought a newer cheaper one but I've been too lazy to mold it.

    Walmart Mouthguard for $1 does just fine. I bought a couple and leave em in a plastic bag in my gym bag so I always have one handy.

    as long as your not doing any type of striking like muay thai ect then a cheap walmart one should work, but if you do striking you should get a good one, broken teeth hurt and cost lots of $$$

    I make mouthguards, but I am in Red Deer Alberta, Canada. I would give 10th planet guys a good deal on a proform Custom mouthguards. You really should'nt use anything but a custom guard as the boil and bite ones are quite a mouthfull and you are'nt able to perform to your fullest when you got a mouth full of spit.

    I take upper and lower impressions and a bite registration, Then I mount the models on a machine that simulates the jaw. I vacuum form the upper model with the proform guard, then I use a torch to heat the guard and close the lower teeth into it making an index for your bite. This will allow you to have a balance bite, adequate breathing and shock absorbtion.

    When you get punched in the jaw, it is the lateral deviation that compresses a nerve that tells your body that you don't know what your doing so it shuts your body down. Having a bite index will help prevent or at least lessen the deviation hopefully saving the fighter from being knocked out.

    Also having a good bite registration can unlock your abilities, flexibiity and balance. If you have the bucks you can get an under armour mouth guard for about $500 or a PPM mouthguard like wanderlei silva for about $2000. The guards I make are not as expensive, but are based on the same Ideas.

    From me about $100 but can't speak for other dental offices as they charge what they want. If you shop around you might find a dental office that makes them for around $50. They usually take upper impressions and you have to work your bite in over time.
