What Is The Difference?
Choose your protection carefully. Here are the main differences between your options.
Stock Mouthguard:
- Bought at sporting good and discount retailers
- Least expensive option
- Cannot adjust fit for comfort
- Interferes with breathing and speaking because jaw must be closed to keep it in place
Boil-and-Bite Mouthguard:
- Same basic design since 1960
- Bought at sporting good and discount retailers
