Hi guys, im after a bit of advice about choosing a mouth guard for karate.
I unfortunatly lost both my front teeth and currently use a boil and bite guard from a sports shop. However as im progressing up the ranks at karate im finding that im getting hit harder and more often so i think its time to invest in a better mouth guard. One of my friends suggested i get a professional one done from an imprint of my mouth, but they are really solid and i worry that if i have a solid bit of mouth guard where my front teeth should be and i take a punch/kick from the side that it could damage my other teeth.
Would this be the case?
I emailed the company and they said to ask my dentist but he didnt really offer me any advice.
Or does anyone know of any other options that might be better?
