Comments: We've gone through almost every brand of boil and bite mouthguard and these inexpensive (2 to a pack) mouthguards are the best we've come across so far. They mold easily, and actually stay in place, so my son can talk with them on...and more importantly, won't chew on it them until they become useless. Great product!

Comments: If you want the most out of your money, get these. They are inexpensive and you get two in a variety of colors. They are easy to mold and fit very nicely.
From: Edgar
Comments:I have tried several other brands over this last yr, including one of the more popular brands that have the gel in them. Once molded I found these tapout mouth guards to be the most comfortable, easiest to talk in and least obtrusive while playing. A comfortable well fitting mouthpiece is one you will want to wear.
