Do you have any recommendations? I need one that will offer the best protection.

Maybe this one?

the best protection is to keep your hands up and work on a good defense.
any mouthpiece that will keep our teeth intact will do.

Alot of people will recommend a custom one from the dentist/some online do it yourself kit but in my opinion the best protection comes from one of the top and bottom style ones.

I use a Brain Pad Pro + Plus and love it. With single guards, if you get hit with say an uppercut, your bottom teeth are slamming right into the mouthguard. With the double style, there's padding and space between. It also keeps your jaw aligned properly even when you're tired and breathing hard.

It's definitely not as comfortable as a custom one (or even a standard boil and bite), and it's hard to talk with it in, but it feels so much better when you get hit. In my opinion anyways.

Invest in a custom mouthguard....believe me.

Instead of having to clamp down on your Boil N Bite all the time....you practically have to PULL the custom guard off of your teeth. This is what the pros use...

You get what you pay for...$1 boil N bite or a $100+ custom..

then again, there are guards that are in the middle..Shockdoctor's for $20-$30

If you are going to use a boil n bite, don't get this one. That hard black plastic will end up cutting you up inside your mouth when you get hit, and the gel slowly erodes. Shock doctor has a cheaper one, smaller, black in color...with less of that plastic that is better suited for boxing. Costs like $9.

But yea...a custom is the way to go. They feel paper thin but provide as much or more protection, allowing for a tighter jaw and better oxygen.

The brain pad pro...used it once when I forgot my custom for a show on the road...and it was like I was sticking a ski boot in my mouth. Not sure how anyone can wear those. You try a custom I assure you you'll wonder what you were thinking with that thing in short order.

It definitely takes some getting used too because it's bigger.

I had a custom one before, but got the brain pad because I messed my nose up and needed to be able to breathe through my mouth while still keeping my jaw clenched.

It's certainly nowhere near as comfortable as a custom one, but I love the extra protection. Even if my nose gets fixed (which it won't be for a while if it ever) I won't go back to custom. Unless someone makes a custom top and bottom one that isn't too expensive.

okay, I got ya. I can understand with the nose issues. Yea...it is more just a huge shock going from something so thin, to so big. And is same the other way, going from say a brain pad to custom. It feels paper thin and like you aren't protected...but most top trainers assure me the protection is atleast as good.

Good luck wth the nose, dude.

Thanks man.

Hasn't been giving me any problems for a while. Doctor said no point doing surgery if I'm going to keep boxing because it could happen again. Only way I can see myself getting surgery any time soon is if it gets so bad that I can't breathe through it normaly (when I'm resting). Right now it only affects me when I try to breathe through it during heavy exercise. I get tired real quick because I can't get enough air. Breathing through my mouth fixes that.

brain pad pro plus

Go with a custom from the dentist.

You have no idea how much it helps. I've been through sparring sessions where I didn't get hit particularly much with a store bought mouth guard and my jaw and neck are sore.

And I've also gotten hammered before with a custom guard and nothing hurt but the punch.

To me it's a must have for boxing. Besides, you want the best possible protection for teeth that your going to have for the rest of your life.

you get no more protection from a double than you do from a custom in fact a custom mouthguard is 1000% more protective than any store bought mouthguard. gladiator make a upper custom called the combat that allows you to clench and still hold open a breathing space.http://www.customguards.com you will need to call for this design it is not on the web site

Shockdoctor,by the way, with a boil and bite can you boil it over again ?

That shiit is grippa grap. I got the Everlast brain pad thingy. It's aiite. I like a double mouthguard rather than the one that just goes on the toop teeth.

According to my dentist, they're all the same. Custom mouth guards are made for comfort, but a boil and bite will provide the same protection as long as it fits snug. Fitting snug means that when you open your mouth, the mouthguard stays attached to your top teeth. I use this one:

Inexpensive and it fits well.

I disagree..the material they use for Custom mouthguards is obviously of higher quality than that of bNb's. I feel more comfortable knowing that i paid good $$ for something that virtually all pros use.

But i ain't no dentist..and he could be right.

lol didnt read that part..thought u wanted pcis of the regualr guards :P

No problem. I'm very happy with my Brain Pad, but I'd like to see the one he mentioned.

I'll get a picture of mine. I train submission grappling and muay thia, my guard is a combat extreem, I love it. Its like its not even there. Extreem describes the fact that we remove all but the areas of the guard that provide protection, everything else gets trimmed off.

Thanks icedog.

i roll with this 1
even if u dont get a shock doctor 1 get a double guard mouthpience i never liked the single 1's
i gotten hit with a sigle mouthpiece 1 and boy ur jaw hurts for a while....

^ I find it harder to breathe using a double....... singles all the way :D!

^^
i had that problem too... just got used to it...
by hittin the bag doing all the gym work with the mouthpiece on
:)

mouth guards are over rated and for cowards and the undedicated. I never use them and have got an am record of 10-0-2.

best protection? best fit? get a custom mouthguard!!

I went to get a custom mouth piece to please my mummy. but got abused by the Dentists drills. will kill the white man

xxxx

*bump*

Icedog, can you post a pic of the "combat" model that has a space to breathe through?

I have one from customguards.com and it's a solid mouthpiece. I literally have to pry it out because it fits so snug. It believe it was around $75 but when your talking about additional protection to your brain it's well worth the investment.

jus a regular mouthpiece... in my opinion there is no need to get fancy with things like that, even though ive wanted to try a nice mouthpiece see what its like

FFS its a freakin mouthguard

go down to the chemists and buy one you can boil up and use for $5 instead of wasting $50 on some fancy thing

i always use cheap mouthguards and it makes no difference, if you're worried about getign hurt learn some defence

same. my dentist is a good family-friend. he said the boil and bite material is the same, and custom mouth guards are really just about fitting better.

Yeah some like a custom made from there dentist or some like just to be simple and buy one.

Little fact Ted ''Kid'' Lewis was the first ever fighter to use a mouthpiece.And other fighters use to think he had a advantage.
