The #1 Custom Mouthguard in the Sports Combat World!
A Word from the Fightdentist The #1 Custom Mouthguard!
The public should note well that stock and boil and bite mouthguards bought at sporting good stores do not provide the optimum treatment expected by athletes. Poor fitting mouthguards cannot deal with the individual characteristics athletes and children have. Everyone does not have the same dentition or sex. They do not play the same sport under the same circumstances and experience. They do not play the same position. They do not compete at the same level of competition. They are not the same age and do not have the same size mouth. They do not have the same number and shape of teeth. How can a one-size-fits-all mouthguard be properly fitted?
This is the why mouthguards bought at sporting goods stores, without the recommendation of a qualified dentist, should not be worn. Years ago only four types of mouthguards were discussed in the literature: Stock, Boil and Bite, Vacuum Custom made, and Pressure Laminated Custom made. More recently mouthguards are discussed as: Stock, Mouth-formed which includes Boil and Bite, Vacuum Custom made, Combination vacuum and pressure custom made, Pressure Laminated Custom made and Flasked Custom made.
