This mouthguard would be good for any sport where you where a helmet... But it is not good for boxing!!! It works good to stop concussions but beware if you get hit in the mouth your lip will split open, it has happened to me twice. So I decided to get the Shock Doctor double mouthguard which provides the same concussion resistence and also alows easy breathing.

DO NOT BUY (if you are expecting lip/mouth impacts). I bought this mouth guard not realizing the black plastic in the picture is quite rigid. It gave me a fat lip almost immediately and I had to go out and buy a soft mouth guard before my next practice. Bad for any type of impact or contact sport like Wrestling, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing etc.

I have a shock dr mouthguard from 2004 that did the job, but this one is a bit improved. Its definitely cushier and molds much better. Quite happy with it. Only caveat is that it exposes your top lip a bit in contact sports (boxing), but I'm using it for ultimate frisbee and basketball and hits are not expected to the face that often.

I bought two Shockdoctor mouthguards, this one and a Power Gel Ultra. I bought them, not for fighting, but to prevent night time teeth grinding. This guard is wider than the Power Gel. It's easier on the jaw and a lot more comfortable to use. I don't have a wide mouth or a large bite, but the Power Gel in comparison left such little rooom - it forced my teeth to line-up in an unnatural position, and holding my teeth in that position for long periods took effort - it tired me out by always forcing me to clench my teeth in a certain way when using it. I threw it away. This one, however, at least for my uses, is great. It's easy to use, feels more attuned to the way my teeth naturally line up, and fairly comfortable. However, I have to agree with J Landis - it's a good guard for helmet sports, but the front of the guard sticks out so far that if you actually got punched or hit in the top lip it would probably split right open.

If you are looking to an alternative to the $700+ recommended dental night time teeth grinding guards, this is a cheap alternative.

Cushiony mouthguard, easy to mold, and fits great. The color wasnt as bright as i thought itd be but still nice orange. shipped super fast in time for sparring.

The Shock Doctor Gel Nano mouth guard has worked perfectly! Soft gel molding material forms a tight fit to your teeth without compromising the hard outer shell of the mouth guard. I use this mouth guard in all of my sports activities, including football, basketball, and ultimate frisbee.

Does the job. Fits well. If you can afford to buy a custom mold mouthguard, buy it. If you can't, this is good enough.
