Who makes the molds of your clients?? You dental assistance??
When you take their molds, do you have them sitting down or standing?? There are so may variables that goes to not only designing, but getting the correct fit.

Plus just looking at pics Protechs seem better. I have no experience with either so I cant really say, but yours seem thinner... you can see the teeth bumps on the outside their so thin.

I have been in the dental profession for over 30 years what is your claim to so much knowlege?

The sad thing is that you're a professional for 30 some years and you are pedaling some crappy gill guards. I would better trust a custom fitted mold vs. some factory made model to protect my mouth against impact. $160 - $200 doallars is a much better price than paying thousand's of dollars to have ones' teeth fixed due to using inadequate equipment.

If your mouthguards are so good how come there isnt more pictures to show off. Put some pics up and maybe Ill get one from you cause Im lookin to get one, the thing bothering me is that I dont like how you can see the teeth on yours, and there is very limited customization. For example I was thinkin of one design with half of it green and half of it red and I cant even do that. I was plannin on getting two one for competition and one for sparring.

I agree with you that mouth-guards should be pressure laminated due to the anterior teeth. However, I disagree with you about not being able to increasing the 'protective value' of a type IV mouth-guard. According to literature mouth gurards should be articulated. The only way to articulate (please google -"articulated mouth-guards") properly with the opposing model is to take a construction bite. A construction bite can only be taken by a "competent license dental professional". With a construction bite and an opposing model you can further advance the design of a type IV mouth-guard. Often times individuals gain confidence by the number of years of experience in the chosen profession they pursue. Unfortunately, doing the same thing over and over again does not show that your product has any competency. Experience comes from making mistakes, you would know this if you start to attempt to articulate your mouth guards. Thus increasing your confidence to better fabricate "professional mouth guards".
In other words, be an innovator!
