And me again... I sidetracked my own thread already, but thought I might get a few more points of view if I start a separate thread. And it sort of makes more sense, in case anyone has the same or a similar question. The threads I found about this topic are some years old by now, so maybe something changed within the time. Anyway: I start looking for a new mouthguard. So far mine still works, but I have the tendency to chew on it a lot, so I think getting new ones more or less regularly is a good idea, since I'm absolutely sure, that the chewing won't stop. At the moment I use mostly a Gel Max by Shock Doctor and the MG3 by Shield (that one I rarely use; it's the one I use if I forget the other one or left it at the dojo). At the other thread Opro was mentioned and recommended. Orpo gold, to be precise. Which, by the way, I tried to look for on amazon and found at least half a dozen, that had "gold" in the name from Opro Also, as a bonus question: What do you prefer and why do you prefer it - guards that protect only the upper teeth by "holding" them or the ones that "hold" both rows. (Sorry, for making it sound weird; I'm not sure what the correct terms are in English) I need it for everything: Stand-up, throws, rolling. I'm also willing to get two, if there were some sense in getting separates for stand-up sparring and rolling. In the end, I would use them half the time and could wear them longer, so the costs would be the same. I can't afford one from the dentist. I know, they would be ideal, but I don't have several hundred Euros unfortunately. Thanks in advance and thanks again to those, who already answered in the other thread!
For boxing sparring I have a boil-and-bite Brain Pad with the Tapout logo on it. (shrug) It goes on the bottom teeth only. I don't think I'd buy it again because it just doesn't seem to quite fit right (I had trouble with the boil-and-bite fit), but it does get the job done, and it didn't cost a fortune. A hundred years ago I had a mouth guard that holds both rows, and I think I liked it better.
An opro fitted mouth guard is approx 40 UK pounds, its likely that there is a company near you that will do a fitted mouthguard for cheaper too.
Does either one you have a link to it? I'm not entirely sure what to look for, since I don't seem to find it when I look for "fitted mouthguard". To feel better I just pretend it's because I'm not familiar with the vocabulary regarding mouthguards and there terms Also (I know it's early to keep asking; half the people probably hadn't looked into the forum so far): Any opinions or useful informations about whether to prefer to single or double mouthguards?
