$100 Mouth Guards
April 3, 2007 by nopstar
You’ve ordered your custom made Muay Thai shorts; you’ve got yourself a very nice pair of gloves you’re pretty well kitted out right? Nope you’re neglecting your grill! I came across these the other day, I have to admit I think they’re kind of cool. If I fought professionally I guess I could write off the $100 mouth guards as “tools” Damn son $100 bucks?
I ride a motorcycle and once paid about $40 bucks for a pair of custom molded ear plugs… utter garbage, the .35 one’s worked so much better. They claim that they’ll fit and stay in better, any of you guys have any experience with either of these?
The Japanese mouth guards look way cooler, I wouldn’t get the “Vampire” but I can appreciate them. I don’t have a clue as to how much the “Unbreakable’s“
are as their website is complete crap. I hope that they’ve been to busy making mouth guards to pay any attention to their website
Wow, the Japanese guards look really nice. :)
As for custom mouth guards in general, the consensus is that it’s definitely worth the money. They fit just as tight as a retainer would, so you don’t have to clench your teeth to keep them in. Also, there are a handful of scientific publications that conclude that custom mouth guards provide superior protection as well as comfort.
The customs are probably better as they should fit much better than the old heat and form into your mouth- mouth guards. That being said, I just don’t feel like shelling out $100 for my cavity invested mouth.
A common argument that custom mouth guard companies like to make is that $100 is still much, much cheaper than the price you would have to pay to fix any damage to your teeth. Personally, I find this to be a great argument, and I’m a tad inclined to do my best possible to protect myself from losing any hotness from damaged teeth. :)
boil & bite, baby!!! LOL!!!
[...] see the $100 mouth guards; well here’s the Duvide Jump Rope. I guess if you’re really into your rope jumping and [...]
I got a custom mouth guard a while back, cost about £30 ($60??) as trainer got the dentist to the club so got a group discount. But mine is utter crap, i cant wear it as the top of it scrapes my gum when i take it in and out! I know i sound like a pussy – but it seriously hurts! Saying that every1 else can wear theirs fine, so maybe i was unlucky/have a strange shaped mouth! So i just stick with the old boil and bite now!
I bought mine of kombatmouthguards really quick service,nice fit aswell much easier to breath with rather than the biol and bite, only about £30
there is another cool alternative out there. Look for my Forcefield…really personalized stuff, top quality…the brazilian crowd already knows them, now they are in the US.
