recently tried the Shock Doctor Custom Fit Football Mouthguard, and it has exceeded my expectations! The custom fit process was simple – just boil and bite – and it molded perfectly to my teeth, offering a secure, snug fit right away. This mouthguard is extremely comfortable, and I barely notice it during gameplay, which is a big improvement over others I've used in the past.The protection is top-notch, giving me confidence that my teeth and jaw are safe during hard impacts. I also like the built-in breathing channels that help with airflow, so I can still breathe comfortably while wearing it.Overall, the Shock Doctor Custom Fit Mouthguard is a game-changer for anyone serious about football. It's protective, comfortable, and designed to last through intense use. Highly recommend it for athletes looking for high-quality oral protection!"

I've worn this type of device as a night guard for 25 years when I lost two expensive dental night guards (each when moving). At first, this type was really hard to mold properly, but I got the hang of it after needing to buy more to do it right, especially the right time in the hot water and right amount of pressure when pressing around my teeth. (I used to press too hard, thus making the guard way too thin.) I have a normal-sized female mouth, so I was glad this one worked perfectly because it APPEARS too small. I ordered 2 more to have on hand, even though my previous one lasted 7 years (no kidding!), and I ruined it by accidentally turning on the heat-drying on my dishwasher where I clean my night guard every week.

Runs a little small but good quality mouthpiece

I have a 12 year old son who has braces on both upper and lower teeth. I bought the adult size mouthguard only for his upper teeth and it works great. (My son's braces don't have any complicated brackets/springs.) Just make sure you read the direction carefully. There is a specific instruction for the person who wears braces. (Place mouthguard in water for 10 seconds, not 12 seconds, if you wear braces.-- I think if the mouthguard is too warm and soft, it may grab braces too deep that you may not be able to remove the mouthguard when it cools down in your mouth.)My son tried to make the mouthguard fit on hiim over 7 times to make sure he feels comfortable with it. He said it feels hard, thick and tight first, but it will fit eventually as you keep trying (pressing and sucking.) He did not force to make it fit in case his braces get caught by the softened plastic. Just be patient until it forms comfortably.I noticed many people complained about the product being melted or deformed. I think those people might have placed the mouthguard in the hot water too long or they might not have removed the water from the heat. Do not place the mouthguard in a boiling water. The instruction specifically tells you to "remove water from heat" before you place the mouthguard in the water.My son said he can now play basketball and football without worrying about his braces being damaged or his lips get cut. He seems to like it a lot. He can talk (although he sounds mumbling) and can breathe fine with it. My son can customize the shape of his mouthguard again and again every time he gets his braces adjusted at the orthodontics (about every 2 months.) which would save me a lot of money too.By the way, the package says, "Adult/Age 11+", in case you are wondering which size you should choose for your child. If the product is too big, you can always trim down with a pair of scissors. For my 12 year old son (about 5'5"), this adult size was perfect.

We did the hot water, bite, cold water. Eh ,it'll work for a basic mouthguard. Can get for under for dollrs at wallmurt same thing. We will look for something better in future.

I'll admit, searching for a mouth guard online can be tricky, but based on some reviews left for this mouth guard (specifically by Patrick Bohrman on 10/29/20, and those who answered the questions regarding braces), I choose the strapless adult size for my 12 yr old daughter (FYI - she's on the petite side for 12 yrs old AND has braces). I followed Bohrman's advice/directions to a T, even trimming the very backs (toward the wisdom teeth) a little, and after the 3rd time (boiling and trimming it slightly), we got a really good fit. She's been using it for 3 months and no issues. After our success, her lacrosse friend also got the same one... I shared the instructions I used and she also had success (also a petite 12 yr old with braces). You just need to follow the directions carefully... here is the condensed version:1) Boil for ONLY 12 seconds.2) Take it out with a slotted ladle (be careful – it’s hot and moldable).3) Insert the mouth guard in your mouth and ensure it's positioned correctly (centered) AND the inside edge of the guard goes on the outside of the teeth (not between your bite) BEFORE you bite down.4) Then, bite down hard while your tongue is tight to the roof of your mouth while sucking the air and water out of it.5) Then immediately put it in icy cold water for 30 seconds.6) You can repeat the steps if you make a mistake or need to make the impression deeper so the guard stays in the mouth without falling out (we had to do it 3 times).I hope this helps!
