The Problem

Why Your Mouthguard
is Failing You

Off-the-rack and boil-and-bite guards compromise your protection, your breathing, and your performance.

01

False Protection

Boil-and-bite guards thin to 0.5–1.5mm across the front — exactly where you get hit. From a starting thickness of 3–4mm, you're left with paper-thin material at the point of impact.

Uneven thickness means uneven force distribution. Thin spots become failure points. A loose guard can shift on impact, concentrating force on individual teeth instead of spreading it evenly across the jaw.

02

Killing Your Performance

Stock guards reduce airflow by up to 14–20% and measurably reduce VO2 max. You clench to keep it in place, fatiguing your jaw and restricting your airway. Your body gets less oxygen per breath and produces more lactate — you gas out faster.

A custom-fitted guard opens your airway by up to 9%, doesn't impair breathing at all, and has been shown to reduce blood lactate by up to 31% during exercise. Same effort, more output, more rounds in the tank.

03

Poor Compliance

The best mouthguard is the one you actually wear. If it makes you gag, you won't wear it in training — and training is where most injuries happen.

Only 40–50% of athletes wear boil-and-bite guards during training. The top reasons? Difficulty breathing (38%), gagging (29%), and can't communicate with coaches (22%).

Performance

It's Not Just Protection.
It's a Performance Advantage.

Your mouthguard isn't just armour. A properly fitted guard actually makes you perform better.

51%

lower cortisol post-exercise — less stress, faster recovery

Garner, Dudgeon & McDivitt (2011)
31%

lower blood lactate during endurance exercise — you gas out slower

Garner & McDivitt (2009)
20%

faster rate of force development when clenching a fitted guard

Ebben, Flanagan & Jensen (2008)

Train Harder, Recover Faster

A custom-fitted mouthguard doesn't just protect — it opens your airway by up to 9%, allowing more efficient breathing at the same effort level. Studies show significantly lower blood lactate during and after intense exercise, and up to 51% lower cortisol post-training. Lower cortisol means less catabolic stress and faster recovery between sessions. You're not just protected — you're training with an advantage.

More Power, More Explosiveness

Clenching a properly fitted guard activates what scientists call concurrent activation potentiation — your jaw position directly influences whole-body muscle activation. Research shows increases of 8–20% in muscle activation across nine major muscle groups, ~5% higher anaerobic peak power, and significantly improved upper body power output. A stable, cushioned bite gives your nervous system a better platform to fire from.

Jaw Joint Protection

Custom guards with a bite platform keep your jaw properly aligned, creating a cushion in the jaw joint that absorbs shock on impact. Boil-and-bite guards often push your jaw forward or to the side, which can actually increase jaw joint stress when you take a hit.

Concussion Risk Reduction

Growing evidence suggests that properly fitted mouthguards with correct jaw positioning may help reduce concussion severity. The idea is simple: a stable, cushioned jaw absorbs and distributes impact force rather than transmitting it straight to the skull. The ADA, Academy for Sports Dentistry, and BDA all recognise mouthguards as plausible concussion mitigators.

The Cost of Not Protecting Your Teeth

A single dental implant costs £2,000–£4,000. A root canal and crown: £800–£1,500. The lifetime cost of replacing a lost tooth: £10,000+. A custom mouthguard costs a fraction of a single repair. For every £1 spent on protection, an estimated £10–£30 in treatment costs is saved.

The .PRO Difference

Professional-Grade Protection,
Built with Dental Expertise

01

30-Second Digital Scan

No messy alginate impressions. No gagging on trays. A precision intraoral scanner captures your exact dental anatomy in under 30 seconds — accurate to fractions of a millimetre.

Your scan is stored digitally forever. Need a replacement or want to try a different style? New guard made from your existing scan. No re-visit needed.

02

30 Years Dental Expertise

This isn't a mouthguard company. This is a dental professional making professional mouthguards. Proper bite assessment, understanding of tooth and jaw anatomy, joint protection, and how your teeth fit together under force.

The difference between a moulded piece of plastic and a clinically engineered protective device.

03

We Come to You

We visit your gym with our scanner. Minimum 5 athletes per session and your whole team gets scanned. Or visit the clinic on Friday afternoons, 2–5pm.

Fighting today? Same-day emergency mouthguards available at events. No fighter should compete unprotected.

About

Your Dentist

With 30 years of clinical dental experience and a genuine passion for combat sports, I saw a problem that needed solving: too many amateur fighters training and competing with inadequate mouth protection.

Most athletes are using off-the-rack boil-and-bite guards that thin out where protection matters most, restrict breathing, and are so uncomfortable they get left in the gym bag during training — exactly when injuries happen.

I take my digital scanner into gyms, scan athletes in seconds, and deliver custom pressure-laminated mouthguards built with the same precision and expertise I bring to every aspect of dentistry. This is what .PRO means — professional protection, made by a professional.

Why Manufacturing Method Matters

Vacuum Forming

Pulls material over your mould using suction. It works, but material thins at the high points — the tips and edges of your teeth can lose 25–40% of their thickness. These thin spots are exactly where you need protection most.

Pressure Lamination

Uses compressed air at much higher force (2–5 bar), maintaining 90%+ of the original material thickness throughout. Multiple layers bonded under pressure create interlayer interfaces that dissipate energy on impact — it's physics, not marketing.

FAQ

Common Questions

How long does the scanning process take?

Under 30 seconds. A digital intraoral scanner captures your teeth in a single pass — no messy impressions, no trays, no gagging. You can rinse and get back to training immediately.

What's the difference between single, dual, and triple laminate?

Single laminate (£50) is vacuum-formed from one layer — a solid upgrade from any shop-bought guard. Dual laminate (£75) uses two pressure-bonded layers for superior impact absorption. Triple laminate (£155) adds a third layer with a bite platform for maximum force distribution and jaw joint protection. See our manufacturing page for the full breakdown.

How long until I receive my guard?

Standard delivery: 7 days. Rush: 3 days. Fight day emergency: same day at events. Your guard is hand-finished and individually quality-checked before it ships.

What if I need a replacement or want a different colour?

Your digital scan is stored forever. A new guard can be made from your existing scan at any time — no need to visit again. Just email us with what you want.

I'm a gym owner. What's the minimum for a gym visit?

Minimum 5 athletes per visit. We'll come to your gym with the scanner, scan everyone in the session, and have guards back within a week. Email us with your gym name and rough numbers.

Can I come to you instead?

Yes. Friday clinic, 2–5pm. Email to book a slot. The scan takes 30 seconds, then you choose your guard type and colour.

Is a custom guard really worth it vs a boil-and-bite?

A boil-and-bite thins to 0.5–1.5mm at the front teeth, restricts breathing by up to 20%, and half of athletes don't wear them in training. A custom guard retains 90%+ thickness, has virtually zero breathing impact, and 80% of athletes wear them consistently. One dental implant costs £2,000–£4,000. A custom guard starts at £50.

Does the guard come with any quality guarantee?

Every guard ships with an individual certificate of quality — confirming guard type, number of layers, measured anterior thickness (verified by caliper), forming pressure, and the dental professional who inspected it. If it doesn't pass our standards, it gets remade.
