Summary: Not for me
August 10th, 2011

Here's my mouthguard story. I had been in favor of mouthguards but didn't feel it was something for me. Then in a varsity game last year I took a foul straight to the jaw. I was stunned, but tried to play it off. I immediately threw another ball to the pitcher. Then put the ball in play and start into my squat. My partner comes running up the line calling time. He comes up to me and asks if I'm okay. I tell him yes. He points to my mask which is almost all the way to the backstop and tells me he really thinks I should think about putting it on befor putting the ball in play. I never realized I wasn't wearing it. I was fine the rest of that game, but had a dull headache for a few days. I diagnosed myself with a mild concussion. 

Back to the review...

I ordered this mouthguard for a few reasons:

  1. I thought being that it went over your lower teeth it would be less visible.
  2.  It is advertised as allowing foe more natural speaking.
  3. Shock Doctor has a great reputation and I expect high quality products from them.
Well I had problems with this mouthguard. I read and followed the directions explicitly. Not only that I was active in sports growing up and I'm no stranger to the boil-and-bite mouthguards and never had a problem with any, even the cheapo ones. 
 
I could not get a good fit out of it where it would stay in place and allow me to speak clearly. But I figured I'd try it still. 
 
I wore it in 1 game exactly and I don't think I kept it in the full time. I found it uncomfortable, too noticeable and just all together not good for me.
