Mouthguards

There are many different types of mouthguards available, in almost every color imaginable. But with a mouthguard, the most important thing is that it fits comfortably and molds well to your teeth. There is no single best brand—it depends on the sport you practice and your personal preference.

If we had to choose, we would go with Shock Doctor, Opro and SafeJawz.

Features of a good mouthguard:

• Good protection for teeth and jaws
• Comfortable and precise fit
• Easy to mold yourself
• Free from harmful substances and BPA-free
• Easy to breathe while wearing the mouthguard

A standard mouthguard protects only your upper teeth and is most commonly used in boxing, kickboxing, and thai boxing. It is lightweight, allows you to breathe easily, and is suitable for both training and competition. Almost all our customers buy a single mouthguard (upper teeth only). A double mouthguard protects both your upper and lower teeth and offers greater jaw protection—ideal for full-contact or if truly maximum protection comes above everything else. Please note: breathing with a double mouthguard is much.

Most mouthguards are made of thermoplastic material that you mold yourself in hot water (60–80°C). Once molded, the mouthguard fits your teeth perfectly.

Some brands use more advanced technologies:

• Shock Doctor uses a Gel Fit liner for extra comfort and integrated ventilation openings
• SafeJawz features Remodel Tech, allowing you to remold the mouthguard up to 3 times

With braces, you need a special orthodontic mouthguard — a standard thermoplastic mouthguard won't fit and can damage your braces.

Orthodontic mouthguards are often made from 100% medical-grade silicone or feature a Fluid-Fit system that adapts immediately.

Good options include:

• Shock Doctor Braces — insta-fit silicone, latex-free and BPA-free
• SafeJawz Ortho — 2-layer, Fluid-Fit, also available in Dracula and Marvel Venom designs
• Opro Gold Braces — antimicrobial, double layer

Available in both junior and adult sizes.

Fight2Win sells the best brands in mouth protection:

• SafeJawz - Jaw Secure system, Remodel Tech, and a wide range including Marvel licenses (Spiderman, Venom, Deadpool, and more).
• Shock Doctor - best-selling brand; the Gel Max is our bestseller.
• Opro - official UFC line from Bronze to Platinum, with antimicrobial protection.
• Bytomic - ideal entry-level model in many colors, also for children.

For children, we recommend a junior mouthguard — smaller in size and easier to mold to smaller teeth.

Good choices include:

• Bytomic Basic — up to approximately 11 years old, available in many colors
• Opro Bronze / Adidas Bronze Gen4 — junior size, entry-level model
• SafeJawz Intro — junior and adult, Remodel Tech (can be remolded 3 times)
• Shock Doctor EZ Guard — latex- and BPA-free, junior size

Rinse your mouthguard with cold water after every use and always store it in a protective case—never loose in your sports bag. Never use hot water for cleaning, as it will deform the fit.

We sell antimicrobial protective cases from:

• Opro V2 — black, compact
• Shock Doctor — orange, with carabiner
• SafeJawz Premium — unbreakable silicone, with carabiner

For extra hygiene, we recommend the SafeJawz disinfectant spray: 50 ml, mint scent, good for ~150 uses.

Most mouthguards are thermoplastic and can be molded yourself at home. Note: the exact temperature and softening time varies by brand and model— always read the description provided or the brand’s product page before you begin.

The general method:

1. Heat water to the temperature specified for your mouthguard (usually 60–80°C, do not boil)
2. Immerse the mouthguard for the indicated time (usually 20–30 seconds)
3. Remove it and let it cool for 2–3 seconds
4. Press it firmly against your teeth and gently suck
5. Rinse it in cold water to set the shape

SafeJawz with Remodel Tech can be remolded up to 3 times if the fit is not right.

Molding a mouthguard is entirely at your own risk and responsibility.
