Go to your dentist. You won't be sorry.

I've got to agree with JR. I've always hated mouthguards and I finally had one made for me, and it's fantastic. It doesn't even feel like you have one in.

I asked my dentist when I was there a couple of weeks ago. He said they ran around $125-$150 CAD range.

Check your employer's dental coverage...you may be covered for it....

Generic ones usually work fine. I used them since I was 9 and changed to dentist because I wanted a four leaf clover pattern. Didn't notice much difference either.

I got mine at www.customguards.com. They run about $50-$60 and I think they're the same as ones you would get from a dentist. It's fantastic - sucks right onto the teeth, and I can breathe fine (and even talk decently). Mine did pinch a little when I first got it, but a little hot water dipping took care of it (they give you instructions).

I give it a big thumbs up. Much, much better than the shock doctors I'd tried.

I got one from the dentist, and it's semi-hard. A few games ago I got hit in the mouth hard enough that some of the other guy's blade's graphite splinters were embedded into the mouthguard. I'm glad I had it.

Is harder better for mouthguards?

Anyone seen or tried those "Billy Bob" mouthguards? If those offered any protection at all it would be worth the shock value to use one.

i didnt know those were mouthguards.

Some of the Billy Bob stuff are "boil and bite" mouthguards, others are just costume teeth.

$90 for a custom mouthguard from my dentist, and not covered by my dental insurance.

Correct me if I'm wrong...but dentist made ones will protect your teeth, but not your brains. Don't think they help in preventing concussions right?

From customguards.com

The Gladiator Custom-Made Mouthguard

The American Dental Association advises that a custom-fitted mouthguard is the best protection against dental injury and concussion

Individually made to fit your teeth and mouth

More secure and comfortable than other mouthguards

Same quality, but less expensive than ordering from your dentist

Free-Flowâ„¢ system enhances performance

Lasts longer than other mouthguards

Customizable with choice of any logo, colors plus add your name or other identification to prevent loss

Ideal for every sporting activity

Looks like they do in fact help protect against concussion. I never liked mouthguards, but I think I'm going to order one of these and try it out.

FYI I ordered the guard this morning right after I posted and they've already shipped me out the fit kit. Fast service!

[SyracuseBulldogs04 0]

Yeah, just the other day i had the dentist take impressions for a custom mouthguard. Should be interesting to see how it is.

The RbK piece is pretty pricey when you can get this, nearly the same thing, for only $8.99...

Where do you get that from?

I googled it but came up empty.

The problem with these things is that they still retain the shape on the outside of the mouthguard. Yeah they fit close to your teeth inside, but the shape outside is still squared and potentially problematic. I had a real problem trying to wear a shock dr because of this. I went through two different mouth guards and gave up. Go look at the customguards.com and you can see the difference.

I have one made by customguards and it's amazing. I could never wear a mouthguard until I bought one from them. Fits great, can talk and breathe with it no problem. And they are very fast, I think the turn around time from ordering the kit to receiving the mouthguard was like 12 days. Plus you can get your name on it.
