The only mouth pieces my son uses now for football and lacrosse. I buy a few different colors for each season and they end up lasting the whole way through. Other style mouth pieces are chewed up by my son (9yr old) in a couple of days. He would normally go through 6-8 of the standard mouth pieces in a season easily

Great mouth guard! My coach who is a professional fighter uses it, too. It protects both top and bottom teeth when fitted correctly. The top part has a complete gel lining while the bottom part only fits to the molars and incisors. If you look at it from the side, you can see that there is a slight ridge in the middle. Inside of it, there is a substance that is shock absorbent and protects from concussion. I also think the holes make breathing with a closed jaw fairly easy.

My son always looses his mouth piece this one has a good strap to connect to the helmet so it doesnt come off as easy as some.

I got these mouthpieces for my 4 year olds that play contact flag football. We have had the flavored ones and with in two practices their chewed up. Not the battle guard!!!!! They also leave them in the whole time no more fighting with them to leave the mouth piece in.

My 12-yr old son plays Little League baseball as a pitcher and a catcher. He just got his braces less than a month ago and there were no problems with the brackets fitting easily into the channels of the mouthpiece, even though his brackets are not even close to being fully aligned. A great peace-of-mind for this mom and his coach! The only thing I wish was offered was a combination package with a "guard keeper" since this guard is much taller. We did find an inexpensive denture holder to use, but I would have bought both if it had been offered.

I made sure my son was familiar with how it should feel when put in place properly and how to remove it without damaging it or his braces. It has been 2 weeks now and the Shock Doctor Double Braces Strapless Mouthguard has been great!

I bought this for my 14 year old son who plays Lacrosse.  He wears top and bottom braces.  The mouthguard does not need to be boiled to fit like most others. It is ready to go right out of the box.  Not only is that convientent, but it makes it great to carry an extra in his bag as a spare since it is ready to go at anytime should something arise.  He can still communicate well while wearing it and it does not hamper his breathing. He claims it is comfortable and although it only covers the top teeth, it provides great protection.

I inherited a very wild black lab/hound mix when I met my girlfriend.  I went with the football as well as the baseball chew toy because they seemed indestructible.  Petey, the dog, enjoys ripping anything and everything apart.  I am sad to say that the football did not last.  First to go was the white stitching then he started attack each end of the football.  Surprisingly the baseball is still in once piece!  I wouldn't suggest the football but all is well with the baseball, so far.  If they made the football without openings on either end and the stitching was from the original mold of the football, I believe it would have lasted. Petey loved it so I cannot complain. Sticking the baseball from here on out.

I play quarterback for my football team. I'm a junior and this year was the first year I use it. The first game I played with it I ran it in for the touchdown and also paid the price by taking two hits to the ribs. I felt everything and was slow to get up. After the game my ribs were bruised up

I gave this mouth piece to my brother as a gift. Although he's a boxer, this mouth piece has been universally designed for any combat athletes. I highly recommend this product!!

Well, I have suffered through 3 miserable seasons of my son in the gap-air-whatever (10-1) defense and I will tell you, being someone that played youth football from age 4 and then moved onto high school football and on to college football and then to majoring in coaching in college......you have to have an abundance of talent and be a very thorough coach if you plan on having any success with this system.  First of all, if you ever think your going to be successful with a read and react defense in youth football, I would beg to differ.  Attack style defenses always work better in youth football where 95% of the plays are run oriented.  This defense is basically a 10-1 or an 8-2 which takes away half of your team on any given play.  Since everyone is on the line when the play goes to the left the players on the right are neutralized, etc.  second, this defense has no layers ..... in other words , if the runningback breaks the line , there is noone there to reinforce you.  ITs an all or nothing defense and I have watched my son go from an incredible blitzing linebacker in a 6-2 system to a mediocre player at this so called outside linebacker (its actually a double defensive end that mirrors the tight end HA HA !) I have watched a coach diligently attempt to make this system work and he is one of the most prepared coaches I have seen around yet, he cant get this system to work.  I cant go in to too much detail but a layered 5-3 with a nice blitz package would do much better in youth football and is winning championships everyday with minimal talent.  Mr. Reed is very arrogant about his philosphy which is nothing more than a philosphy.  He is the minority in his thinking but he has made it work.  With Talent, I could make a 2 man front work especially if I had been coaching the same thing for 20 years in youth football.  Mr. Reed also does not believe in traditional conditioning, fundamental drills, etc.....well all I can say is good luck if you want to use this stuff.  My sons team finally moved to a semi 5-4 this year with much more success but they still had problems outside because they put the linebackers up on the line and rarely blitz.  Anyway, I have rambled enough but I am not saying not to buy this book , I think it is good to know all systems but putting it into practice is another story.  Hope this helped.

This is the second football season my son has had this mouth guard. He loves it and the flavor. The directions to fit the guard are easy to follow. The only issue I have had is that it tastes so good, my son chews it up and it is certainly DONE by the end of the season.

This is the regular mouth guard that we use for soccer, lacrosse and basketball. top quality materials and very, very easy to mold for an excellent fit. The mouth guard comes is a nice variety of colors to match an assortment of team colors.

bought to go with a tabletop set that only had one football.  Son can have pretend teams and if he loses one...he still has more.

ive tried a lot of mouthguards. This is the only one i use as it allows you to breath through your mouth when you need to.

This mouthguard is kind of pricey, but my 15 year old son loves it. He says he likes how it "clicks" into place on his braces, and that he can breath through it, and can (sort of) talk through it, at least enough so that people can understand him if he says "Tap! Tap! Tap!" when they are tying his limbs into knots. He has a pronounced overbite, but luckily this mouthguard still works. We also like the fact that it doesn't have to be boiled to get it to conform to your mouth. We overheated and totally ruined the cheap mouthguard that he had before we got this one.

My son has been battling rashy, chappy lips this year.  I finally figured out it was his trumpet mouthpiece (duh!) and searched online for something that wouldn't irritate his mouth.  Gold-plated mouthpieces seem to start at $50; "gold" metal mouthpieces are much cheaper at less than $10 (but I didn't really trust that they would actually BE gold at that price.)  I hate to spend $50 on a trumpet mouthpiece for an 8th grader, but had almost decided to - then I found THIS!  It's perfect.  His mouth is already looking a million times better.

It sounds great and his band teacher is fine with it.  Just a side note - I thought that this one (the clear one) would be cool but my son actually says it's kind of gross because you can see all the "gunk" in it.  Yuck.  I hadn't thought of that.  I told him they have opaque ones too but he says this one is fine.
