Makura Ignis Mouthguard

Buying these online is a bit of a minefield for a newbie like me, but we needed one urgently after being informed my son was starting hockey at school in two days! He'd tried a cheaper version before and it was a problem, so we went for this one as it has gel that shapes to the teeth. He also has slightly protruding front teeth, so we had been worried nothing would fit. This shaped nicely to his mouth and stayed in played as comfortably as can be expected, so he's happy. He's a smallish 11 year old, and we'd ordered 'Junior' size, then worried at how small it looked when it arrived, plus the fact it states 10 years and under on the packaging. However, it fit well once it was pliable. I would recommend this one as an affordable and comfortable mouthguard.

Wasn't sure about this when I got it out of the box - seemed like it might be too small and too sharp and I was worried I'd made a poor choice. However, after following the instructions on molding it, it's an absolutely perfect fit.Goes all the way to my molars (where it has extra thickness to soften the impact of biting down suddenly) but without going so far as to make me gag. Holding it's shape too.No weird taste.Even looks alright (which doesn't really matter, but it's nice not to have some stupidly aggressive one that implies you're trying to make up for a lack of ability with a flash mouthguard... simple is good)

They are a fantastic gum shield. They mould very easily and fit comfortably in your mouth. I wear this while playing rugby. They provide good protection to your teeth and I couldn't be happier! They have a great selection of colours also!Please click on the “Yes” button below if this review has been helpful thank you

The mouth guard comes packaged nicely with detailed instructions. I liked that it came with a case for the guard too. The instructions were clear and easy enough to follow, however I found it took several attempts to finally get the guard to stay firmly in my mouth. Once in it feels secure and i can bite down comfortably with it in. It feels protective and I have not been hurt whilst it has been in.Pro:- cheap- protectiveCons:- hard to get snug fitI would recommend purchasing a professionally molded guard if you are participating regularly in contact sport, however this is ideal for light sparring sessions or non contact combat - judo etc.

I can't really fault this product in any way. It works.I use this for sparring several times a week (I do boxing and Muay Thai). The mouthguard definitely works. I've taken several heavy hits and still have all my teeth.It's just nothing special overall. Simple boil and bite.If you're looking for something that is 100% going to protect your teeth from all levels of impact, I'd go get them professionally fitted by a dentist.

A great mouthguard. I bought this for my smallish 11 year old son, after originally buying the child sized one. When the child size arrived it looked small so we didn't open it and returned it in favour of this one. The instructions for moulding were clear and it worked well (and was fun to do!). So far, no missing teeth from rugby / hockey and it still fits well a few weeks later.

After trying many different brands, this is the first 'boil and bite' mouthguard that actually fitted/stayed in place after following the instructions. That alone makes this worth every penny to a concerned parent.

I love this gum shield. It's far better quality than I've used before. You add it to boiling waypter and the inner part is softens like clay. You bite down then add to cold water. I've never had a gum shield before that has the inner part be a different material and softens so well and molds so well. It comes with a sold storage case. Unlike other gum shields I don't find it builds up spital when I use it for my boxing. It costs a few extra pounds more than some of the cheaper shields but I'm glad I paid it.
