Shock Doctor Braces Mouthguard – No Boil/Mold Instant Fit – Superior Protection and Comfortable Fit – Adult/Youth

I train Jiu Jitsu at Gracie University and recently started INVISALIGN. You cannot take out your trays and put your teeth in an old formed mouthpiece. One option is to form a mouthguard every week to coincide with your teeth moving which would be very costly. I chose to try this Shock Doctor Mouthguard for braces and alleviate even having to take my trays out. This Mouthguard is soft and goes over my trays perfectly. It fit so perfect that I felt I had to write this. I also so no reviews mention Invisalign. This is a great option. Understand, this isn't Mouthguard size with your trays in. The Mouthguard will push your lips a bit more. It reminds me of a Football Mouthguard. I may trim it slightly for my mouth. Sometimes I cut the upper back corners for a smoother contour in the back. Great Mouthguard. I suggest you get this if you have Invisalign.

I bought this for my 11-year-old son. He is big for his age--the youth sizes are too small (have been for 2 years). Our son is 5'6" so far. He has up and down braces and recently switched from elastic band to the medieval torture spring-loaded contraption because he was too lazy to put in his elastics and we'd like our son out of braces before he turns 20 and we go broke.The rear part of the mouthguard is uncomfortable as is. The top edges abrade my son's gums. I complained to our orthodontist and one of the hygienists expertly cut the top outside ends down on an angle so there is still support without the pain. I'm not sure how she smoothed it--maybe with a bur (I looked this up).She also did this with one of the mouthguards the orthodontist gives away for free (if you ask--I think most have plenty on hand). Now we have a back up as well, which is great because we can barely find either of them when it's game time. If needed, I will try this maneuver myself on the next mouthguard. I think I can trim it with an X-acto blade but need to figure out how to smooth it. Or I'll just bring it in for a trim.Our orthodontist told my son and I that he must wear the mouthguard for basketball as well as flag football. He has had a lot of cases (one that week) where a basketball-rebounding boy elbowed the victim in the mouth. Problems ensued. Better safe and drooly than in the hole for another $6,000. FWIW, my son begrudgingly complies with this mandate because the orthodontist told him this directly and it was obvious I hadn't contrived to make the conversation happen.

My 6 year old LOVES it. She recently had a palate space placed and has rubber band hooks along her gum-line, high in nature, as well as a metal plate over her palate. This mouth guard is the only one that we've found that covers the hooks, as well as not interfering with the metal plate. She wears it to jiujitsu and riding her dirt bike and has no issues breathing around it.Great for orthodontics!

I bought these for my 14 year old, braces wearing, aspiring volleyball/basketball star.I guess my son has been lucky as he has had his braces for almost a year and is active on the volleyball and basketball teams. I never really thought about mouth protection as I never had braces growing up.So the other week he mentioned he wanted to get a mouth guard and I thought to myself, I am the worst dad ever. I immediately jumped on Amazon and got him these. Luckily they got here quick.The week after he started wearing these he took a volleyball to the face during practice. First time since he started playing. Luckily the only thing that got hurt was his ego. I shudder to think what would have happened to his mouth had his braces come in contact with the sides, could have been quite painful.They adjust to fit his mouth quite easily and slide right over his teeeth and braces, keeping them out of harms way.So we are ordering a few more of these. I highly recommend.

I ordered this mouth guard for a 13 year old boy with braces who is involved in multiple sports. The quality of this particular mouth guard is good; however, the fit was disappointing and way too loose. The guard did not stay firmly fitted to his upper teeth. These are non-moldable and are suppose to pop right in which is why I cannot recommend them. I had much better luck with other Shock Doctor products and would recommend either the Shock Doctor Ultra Mouth Guard for braces which are moldable for an upper only set or the Shock Doctor Double Braces for sports like football and wrestling requiring upper and lower protection. The Double Braces is a similar design to this upper only version but there's no issue with it staying in place.

I recently had braces put on again and I've also started grinding my teeth so I bought this to wear at night for grinding protection. It says it fits with braces and no boiling or fitting requires, but this does not fit my mouth at all. I don't think my mouth shape and upper jaw structure is that abnormal. I have to clench/bite down for it to stay in, and when I do that it is bulky and makes me gag. Even if people are buying this for sports only, having to clench down that hard to keep it in place will not be a good habit to start and will cause a lot of muscle pain. My orthodomtist recommended a sports mouth guard for braces to sleep in to protect my teeth from grinding. I guess I need a different brand.

Recently had braces put on. I have always had the issue with grinding my teeth so I had a night guard. With the braces it was not possible to use the night guard so I went with this. It is very flexible and offers excellent protection over night. There are no signs of any damage on it meaning that it is very durable. This will work perfectly for its actual intended use if it has been able to survive nights of grinding. Highly recommend.

Does not stay in place and is so loose it's a choking hazard (rugby) could see him being tackled and these going to back of throat. Bought for 16 year old son who used to wear the boil and fit type until he had braces fitted recently. Would not recommend.

Bought this as an adult for field hockey. If I'm honest, I didn't research the mouthguard myself, just took the recommendation from my dentist. I was surprised that you don't actually mould the mouthguard to your mouth, instead it is made of a flexible silicone which just fits around the braces. When biting, the mouthguard covers the teeth well. However, as soon as I open my mouth to breathe or speak, the mouthguard falls out (very challenging in team sports). Was not fit for purpose so purchased an alternative brand where you can boil and mould the mouthguard around the braces - far more effective.

PLEASE do not buy this mouth guard if you have braces as an adult.Yes, it fits over the brackets.. but as it isn't moulded, there is nothing to keep the mouth guard from actually staying in your mouth. I tried to play a game of rugby and it's equivalent to running around the field biting a tube of jelly for 80 minutes.

Absolutely rubbish unfortunately. Fitted around my braces but just fell out. Such a waste of my money and time - meant I missed the first game of the season as I put all my eggs in one basket with this mouthguard. Disappointing and then I couldn't even receive a refund as I'd tried it on!!!

It says they are for age 12+ (In the adult size) but they are a bit too big for my nearly 13yo. It’ll do but I think the smaller size would have been better
