These do their job. I was a little surprised at how small they are. I actually thought about returning them. However, if you read the instructions carefully you will note that these and other similar mouthguards are not designed to go all the way back to your last molar. They are supposed to just go to your first molar. The process of making them fit was easy. I microwaved them in some water, then put them in my mouth and bit down. They did shrink just a tiny bit when they hardened, so they push my teeth in a little. You wouldn't notice if you are just using this for sports, but I imagine that if I used this at night it might have an effect on my bite. They are a little bulky, but not more so than competing products. I'm actually not sure why they can't make these slimmer. Must be some constraints I'm not aware of. The taste...it's ok. Very persistent. It continues to smell and taste of a light lemon with hints of some kind of tea after many uses. It's not delicious, but I suppose it's far superior to the taste of wax or rubber or old spit. Overall I'm satisfied with this mouth guard. It's good quality.

My son says this is very comfortable, but has only used it for 1 minute so we will find out when the season starts. I wanted to get on here to share our experience. We had to redo the process once as we had way too much material in front of the front teeth. The mouthguard would fall out immediately. On our second try, I made sure to push up against the front teeth harder than before, before having him bite down. This helped a great deal. We ordered an adult after reading the reviews that the youth was too small. Either we got a repackaged and returned one or the adults are extremely small as well. My son is 8 with a mouth still full of 12 baby teeth. This barely fit him. The back comes to the middle of his only adult molars. I am female with a small mouth that the dentist has to use the small fluoride trays on and this does not fit my mouth, it is too small!!! We are heading to Dick’s today to see if they have both the youth and the adult in stock so I can see which one we actually got. Overall product looks like it will do what it is supposed to, but it is very small so order accordingly. Because it seems to fit my son, I am giving it 5 stars, as that is why we bought it. If it turns out to have been repackaged, I will reduce my review to one star.

As an avid athlete, I've tried my fair share of mouth guards, and the Shock Doctor Gel Max has truly set the gold standard for both protection and comfort. This mouth guard is a game-changer, and here's why it deserves a top spot in your sports gear collection. First and foremost, the Gel Max's fit is unparalleled. The innovative gel-fit liner technology molds seamlessly to my teeth, providing a snug and secure fit that doesn't compromise on comfort. The process of molding it to my bite was straightforward, ensuring a custom fit that stays in place even during intense sports activities. Protection is, of course, the primary concern, and the Gel Max delivers on all fronts. The triple-layer design with an integrated breathing channel not only shields my teeth from impact but also allows for easy airflow, preventing the common issue of restricted breathing that often comes with wearing a mouth guard. It's a win-win for both safety and performance. Durability is a standout feature. The heavy-duty Exoskeletal Shock Frame holds up exceptionally well against rigorous use. I've taken hits and impacts, and the Gel Max has proven its resilience, providing consistent protection without showing signs of wear and tear. The versatility of the Gel Max is impressive. Whether I'm playing contact sports like football or engaging in martial arts, this mouth guard adapts effortlessly to the demands of different activities. The convertible tether allows for easy use with or without a strap, catering to personal preferences. Maintenance is a breeze, thanks to the easy-to-clean design. The mouth guard retains its shape and integrity after cleaning, ensuring that hygiene doesn't compromise its performance over time. Shock Doctor Gel Max Mouth Guard is a winner in every aspect.

If you're serious about safeguarding your smile without sacrificing comfort, the Gel Max is the go-to choice. Highly recommended for athletes of all levels!

I highly recommend this mouth guard, I purchased this for my son to wear during sports to protect his teeth following orthodontic treatment and the black part in the front adds a lot more protection. No issues molding and the material forms hard but comfortable and secure.

Just this product because I wanted it until I see the dentist in a couple of months to get a mouthguard. Been grinding my teeth and wanted to get a cheap mouthguard until I had some dental work done and then get a custom mouthguard done by the dentist first of all, I went to put it in my mouth. It was so small that it look like it was a child’s mouthguard, yet it said adult on the package, secondly, I tried a couple of times even stretching it out with my hands, and when I could get it in my mouth and it would not stay there it was just fall out. There was no friction to hold it whatsoever. My last chance I had with it I actually put it in a microwave with some water boil the water got it really hot and pliable. I was able to make it larger by doing that Without stretching it too much put it in my mouth and now it was just falling out. It was cool by the time I took it out of my mouth so it was basically useless. I threw it in the trashcan and I got a feeling that’s what most people are going to do with it total garbage I could’ve returned it, but after putting it in my mouth, I decided I wasn’t going to go through all that not for the 13 $14. I paid for it to something else is my best recommendation.

As it should be

Uso il paradenti da quando ho 5 anni per giocare a rugby, no ho provati un'infinità dai modelli base a quelli un po' più costosi, questo li surclassa tutti. La superficie gel è la determinante, attecchisce perfettamente ai denti ed in bocca è comodissimo. Ormai non uso altro che Shock Doctor.

Easy to use and the breathing hole is soo good for boxing

Bought it for field hockey after I had my braces taken off. Easily to mould, just make sure you leave it in the hot water long enough. No problems, can talk with it in although it does stick out (expected).

Followed the instructions to a T and the mouth guard folded into its self as the water began to boil, it became a ball of pink rubber. Did not let the water even get to boiling before this happened. The instructions say if the mouth guard is not done the shape you want to re try steps I allowed the mouth hairs to cool and tried to get it to inform from the mass ball shape it had folded into but nothing. Waste of money
