A mouthguard is a necessary protective device commonly used in combat and team sports. It covers the teeth and gums to prevent contact injuries. In team sports, most athletes wear only a mouthguard for the upper jaw. For combat sports, it is recommended to wear a mouthguard that protects both upper and lower teeth.

Mouthguard moulding
All mouthguards must be fitted to your set of teeth. The typical Boil & Bite fitting method works by immersing the mouthguard in hot water for 15 seconds, putting it on, and gently biting down on it (take care to not bite it through). If the first moulding attempt does not produce a good fit, you can repeat the whole process.
