Discover the ultimate protective gear for combat sports athletes with Progress Shop Amsterdam’s range of mouthguards!

Whether you’re into boxing, MMA, or kickboxing, having a mouthguard is crucial for safeguarding your teeth, jaw, and brain from impact.

Why Wear a Mouthguard?

• Mouthguards are an indispensable part of safety equipment for athletes participating in combat sports. These sports can be dangerous and put athletes at risk of serious injuries to the teeth, jaw, and brain. Mouthguards are designed to absorb the force of blows and protect these areas, reducing the risk of injury.

Safety First!

• The well-being of athletes in combat sports should always be a top priority. While these sports are exciting and challenging, they also come with a high risk of injury, including mouth injuries. Mouthguards not only protect your teeth and jaw, but they also help to prevent brain injuries by reducing the force of impact. They can absorb the shock of punches, kicks, or any other head blows, spreading the force over a larger area and reducing the likelihood of injury.

Single-Layer Protectors

• Also known as “thin” or “slimline” mouthguards, single-layer protectors are comfortable to wear but do not provide the same level of protection as multi-layer mouthguards. Made from a single layer of soft rubber or silicone, they are less expensive than custom-fit or boil-and-bite mouthguards. However, the single layer is not as effective at absorbing and distributing impact force, increasing the risk of injury.

Multi-Layer Protectors

• Multi-layer protectors, also referred to as boil-and-bite mouthguards, are the top choice for athletes looking for the highest level of protection. Made from multiple layers of soft rubber or silicone and a durable plastic, these mouthguards absorb and distribute impact force, reducing the risk of injury. They offer a better fit, thanks to the layers that mold to the shape of your teeth, but are typically more expensive than single-layer protectors. In combat sports, safety should always come before comfort.

Cleaning Your MMA Mouthguard

• To keep your mouthguard free from bacteria, it’s essential to clean it after every training session. A simple rinse in soap and water should be enough.

Regular Replacement is Key

• Athletes participating in combat sports should always wear a properly fitted mouthguard during training and competition. It’s essential to note that mouthguards should be replaced regularly as they can become worn or damaged over time, reducing their effectiveness.
