Best sport mouthguards according to redditors

Shock Doctor makes a case that clips to your bag handles.

My son uses this.

by far the most comfortable https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LX2E1JH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Get this mouth guard. It stays in place and won't get in the way of breathing, drinking water or talking while you wear it.

I have played pretty much my whole life and never once used a mouth guard for basketball. I also don't recall seeing anyone else using one. Overall I really don't believe they are necessary for the average person in basketball. If you have a dental issue then yes ask a dentist. If, for some reason it makes you more comfortable to have one, there are several options. I use this somewhat regularly for BJJ and while its kind of bulky it works just fine. If you plan on using it for a long time though you might just invest in a custom one so you can communicate better with your team.

get a mouth gaurd specifically designed for people with braces. It might look a little weirder than a pacifier but it will work and cover all your brackets.

If you don't decide to go with the dentist/doctor made ones, the Venum ones are really form fitting once molded and not bulky in the least:

This one worked for me

I can vouch for the Venum Mouthguard. Best mouthguard out there for $15 in my experience! I use mine for MMA and BJJ.

Many orthodontist can make you a custom one.

You can also get one Shock Doctor: http://www.amazon.com/Shock-Doctor-Double-Strapless-Mouthguard/dp/B0028RBTW6

SISU Mouth Guards Max 2.4mm Custom Fit Sports Mouthguard for Youth/Adults, NextGen, Charcoal Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYP2A8Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_JKRFDbR4B2KM9

This company has a set that's for braces. You mold it yourself

OPro Power-Fit

​

Nice middle ground between a full blown custom and a regular mouthguard.

You mould it yourself at home, so it fits perfectly once it's set. Been using mine for Muay Thai/BJJ for about 10 months now, no issues.

​

ProTip: drink hot tea or water to warm up your teeth prior to moulding the guard in your mouth, it will save your chompers some pain.

This mouthguard

I personally just got one of these SISU type of guards, it's so minimal that I can easily breath and talk, even instruct, without impairment, so I just never take it out until I need to put it away until next practice.

In terms of others getting germs on you, them taking their mouthguard out and putting it in is probably the least of your problems.

Get the Sisu Aero 1.6 mm. They're a little pricey for what they are, and you have to be careful when you're molding them (also, can't wash them with even warm water; I'll rinse with Listerine and cold water). But, you can barely tell that it's there. I would not recommend using it for striking; I read reviews where people said they got their teeth chipped from kicks and punches, so I use a Shock Doctor for kickboxing.

But for just rolling, this is a solid compromise.

I play hockey and my ortho recommended this one Shock Doctor
There are also custom guards: Gladiator Guard
Or theses DIY customs guards: Sisu

Unlike a traditional mouthguard, which I think is what you're currently using, this is designed specifically for the issue you're talking about.

Shock Doctor

I am happy with this mouth guard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F2U1H64/ref=twister_B00GSN63IG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Then you need to get on some allergy meds or get one of the double sided mouthguards with a gap for breathing.

Something similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/Shock-Doctor-Double-Strapless-Mouthguard/dp/B0028RBTW6

For fencing masks this is what I recommend, it is one of the cheapest masks you will find out there but has many features that come from higher end masks. Plus I read somewhere that one of the HEMA groups had done some testing and found that the mask strength quality was pretty high.

If you want back of the head protection the HEMA line from Absolute Fencing has gotten decent reviews, I have never used them.

I use a Diamond MMA cup and compression short combo that is great but it is probably overkill if you aren't doing grappling. I just wouldn't buy the super cheap solid plastic cups, many companies now make a cup with a softer flex edge to them that make them far more comfortable to wear.

I think this is my most recent mouth guard but I have happy with most except for the really really cheap designs. https://www.amazon.com/Venum-Challenger-Mouthguard-Red-Devi/dp/B00F2U1CTQ/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1469284543&sr=8-9&keywords=mouth+guard

Mouthguard. Specifically I like these type because you can talk and drink easily with them on. Only sad part is some field require face masks and don't count these but I own both type to I'm prepared.

I bought this mouthguard. It's excellent. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F2U1H64/ref=twister_B00GSN63IG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Before that I tried another brand that was terrible.

Hello again! I want to link everything that I have to you, but just a few instead: mouthguard, protective cup, jump/speed rope, etc. Did you design this contest for me? Cool contest! <3

I have a Venom mouthguard: https://www.amazon.com/Venum-Challenger-Mouthguard/dp/B00F2U1CTQ?th=1

pretty cheap, was easy to boil and fit. I hated wearing a mouthpiece but this one is great, you won't even know its there

After two years of a $5 model I bought this: the Venum "Challenger" Mouthguard, Red Devil. It's 14$ but has great value. Comparable to a custom one. It is made of two different material. Harder on the outside, soft gel like in the inside.

For a cheap boil-and-bite guard I like http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00181B8LK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 it's nice and thin and at $5 if you hate it you haven't sunk a lot of money on it.

I agree with a custom fit dentist mould but if that's not an option then the mouth guard I always recommend in the SISU Max 2.4mm.

These mouthguards are much thinner than your standard mouthguards but they are bulletproof. They aren't like your normal boil and bites, they come completely flat. You put it in warm water and it softens and you fold it around your teeth and use your tongue to shape it and suck on it for a good fit. If you somehow manage to fuck it up, you pop it back into the water and it will flatten itself out again, it's incredible. Because they are so thin you can talk normally with it in and drink water etc without having to take it out which is good because there's no way you'd be able to get it out with gloves on, you need to pick it out with your fingers as it is so snug.

https://www.amazon.com/SISU-Guards-Custom-Sports-Mouthguard/dp/B07J2NH4JB

They also do a thinner 1.6mm version but I've never used that personally.

I ordered this one:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F2U1CTQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yea you boil it but looks pretty easy..

https://www.amazon.com/New-Age-Performance-Fitness-Mouthpiece/dp/B07B1HM91W

As an example.

Oh and if you have any recommandation about mouthguards... feel free to tell me. I have a mouthguard I'd like to replace: I feel I have a hard time breathing with the one I have.

Edit: I looked a bit further and I found that one:
https://www.amazon.com/SISU-Guards-Mouthguard-Original-Charcoal/dp/B00N1UJ994/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

Seems thin, I was wondering if somebody tried it.

And a more classic one:

https://www.amazon.com/Venum-Challenger-Mouthguard-Red-Devi/dp/B00F2U1CTQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

But I'm not certain it would let me breath and talk that easily...

If you want to get a pretty solid affordable mouth guard for for this Venum one.

Boil water, take the water off the heat source, drop the guard in the water facedown for 90 seconds, take it out of the water and run it under cold water for 1 second, bite down and press/suck to make it tight to your teeth.

It's one of the best fitting boil and bite guards I've used in 9 years of MMA/BJJ.

May be a little more than you're looking to spend, but this bag has been phenomenal for me so far. It holds my shoes, gloves, wraps, headgear, mouthpiece, clothes and two separate bottles with room to spare.

You may also consider getting him a mouth piece:

https://www.amazon.com/Venum-Challenger-Mouthguard-Black-Blue/dp/B00F2U1DXQ/ref=pd_cart_qp_1_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B071FJZL5N&pd_rd_r=CNMQ2YFKN1DYNWYA13RR&pd_rd_w=eY8av&pd_rd_wg=SCKbi&refRID=CNMQ2YFKN1DYNWYA13RR&th=1

EDIT: Here are the boxing shoes I have. They're much taller than wrestling shoes for ankle support (my ankles are shite) and wrestling shoes, imo, have way too much grip. I made the change after trying to rotate away from my opponent, but was unable to because of my shoe's grip and caught a nasty left hook right above the eye.

https://www.amazon.com/TITLE-Speed-Flex-Encore-Boxing-Shoes/dp/B01N6KOR8C/ref=sr_1_4?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1518031893&sr=1-4&keywords=title+boxing+shoes

But one of these and combine with one of these. Cost me £15 and works in days. Better than Crest whitestrips and the same product you'd get from your dentist/hygienist.

Then when you hit your desired degree of whiteness maintain it with the Sonicare/baking soda stuff others have suggested.

I have this one https://www.amazon.com/Venum-Challenger-Mouthguard-Red-Devi/dp/B00F2U1CTQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467212402&sr=8-1&keywords=mma+mouth+guard

Works well, you mold it to your mouth with boiling water so it fits great.

I have this
https://www.amazon.com/Shock-Doctor-Adult-Strapless-Mouthguard/dp/B00181B8LK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467215120&sr=8-1&keywords=mouthguard
It's better than the simple boil and bite as it has rubber inserts to give it more durability. It's still thin and less bulky than most. Most others are thick and include dual layers of a hard outer and gel inner layer. While a good concept, I find that they suck.

I've tried others including the expensive ones. The expensive ones have proven overpriced crap. This one has held up.

This or these?

I used to use Sisu as well. I now use these: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01N5TOA4C/ref=twister_B077BHMXLP?th=1&psc=1
I can talk, breathe, drink while wearing them with ease.

You might like the SISU mouth guard. You fit it to your top teeth, so you can still talk and drink with it on. It is pretty comfortable to wear if fitted properly, and if it starts to bother you, you can just take it out when you are not getting shot at, and put it back in when the action starts.

Totally unglamorous, but this would be helpful. Thanks for the contest!

I heard the best mouth guards are the custom made ones but they are pretty expensive and I don't think they worth it. You should probably get a mold and as far as I know, there aren't any special brands for them, and don't buy lower teeth guard it really is a waste of money.

Btw if you have braces buy a mold mouthguard suitable for braces.

Few suggestions -

Link 1 (not suitable for braces)

Link 2 (suitable for braces)

For me, the type and quality of a mouthguard isn't really important because they are all practically the same aside from some gimmicks.

Both of my kids used this

They were happy to get a new mouth guard once the braces came off but it did the trick.

Yep this is my favorite boil and bite. I don't know how they compare to custom fitted ones but they have worked great for my sparring. Best part about them is they don't cut up your mouth from being too hard. I tried like 5 other boil and bites with various problems, none of those here.

Edit: These look like a similar design for another option
