Managed to lose my dentist moulded gum shield. Getting fitted for a new one tonight but will probably be a week or two before it comes back. Can anyone recommend a decent gum shield to get me through sparring for the next week or so? Not expecting anything great, just comfy enough to use. Looking to spend around £5 max seeing how I'll be spending for the proper one. Cheers for any feedback
For 5 pounds, pretty much whatever you find in that price range. It's gonna be a piece of ****, but it'll get you through the next week or two.
I'd go for a Shock Doctor within that price range mate - will feel awful after having used a moulded one though. Edit: http://www.sportsdirect.com/shock-doctor-mouth-guard-gum-shield-760006
Shock doctor has served me well, however a few years ago I did find a cracked tooth I didn't have previously, could be unrelated though! I do like them.
I don't think you can put a price on safety, especially considering how much a new tooth would cost you!
Mine is from www.opro.com, got the most expensive one and it still worked out at around £40 - perfect fit.
Thanks for the replies. Dentist said he'd make sure I got it back by end of week as its urgent so not gonna bother getting a cheap one. Just got to make sure I don't lose this one!
As an aside, how long did you have your old one for before you lost it? Just curious how long it is they take to degrade.
I've got a moulded one & recently bought the new under armour gumshield I love the under armour it's really comfortable but a bit expensive
