PROTECTION

The most important part of any mouthguard is the protection it provides. Athletes who don’t wear mouthguards are twice as likely to sustain an oral or dental injury — and treatment of those injuries can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

The best mouthguards provide a warranty for injuries that occur while using their mouthguard. Shock Doctor mouthguards carry a warranty with up to $50,000 in coverage. Make sure yourshas one.

MOUTHGUARD
FIT TYPE

Mouthguards are available in two fit types: traditional Boil and Bite or Instant Fit.

Boil and Bite mouthguards conform to your teeth. The mouthguard softens in hot water, allowing you to bite into it so that it molds to your teeth shape. This provides a close fit, mimics a custom fitted mouthguard and provides excellent protection.
Instant Fit mouthguards do not require molding of any kind. They can simply be taken out of the packaging and used right away. They are easy to remove when needed—between downs in football, for example—and utliize advanced impact absorption technology found in boil and bite mouthguards. Instant Fit options include Football lip guards and Braces mouthguards.

MOUTHGUARD
CASES

Mouthguards are small pieces of equipment and easy to lose in a crowded gear bag full of pads, helmets, gloves, jerseys and pants. A mouthguard case helps for two reasons: First, it will help keep your mouthguard clean of dirt, grass, sweat, and bacteria. Second, you’ll be less likely to lose your mouthguard when utilizing the case, as the best mouthguard cases come with a carabiner attachment to hook and store in a safe spot.
