How to Mold a Mouthpiece (Stovetop/Microwave)

Whether you're a fighter or play any contact sports, you MUST wear a mouthguard! Not only does it prevent you from biting your tongue and chipping your teeth, but it also cushions blows, which can help reduce the chance of concussions and trauma to the brain. Here are 5 easy steps to make sure you know how to mold a mouthpiece correctly!

The first time I got a mouthguard I told my coach it didn't fit, he says 'have you moulded it yet?' I was like, 'sorry what?'. I moulded my guard then got my ass kicked in sparring. great times.

I purchased a cheap $5 mouth piece for my teeth grinding habit per my dentist after a $125 customized mold was out of the question. Followed directions to a T, aside for running it under cold water 30 sec to apparently set it. I am happy and can go to bed feeling like Mike Tyson now ready to conquer my dreams 😅

I always wondered why its hard to breathe with my mouth guard in , maybe it needs cut i do mma but once i went to a boxing gym with my friend and his coach said your mouthpiece needs cut but i didn't really know what he meant until now.

[@LearnsubmissionsHere]

If you his have a spot or two that needs reshaping you can use a heat gun or a hair dryer that get hot to heat and re-mold that area.

[@Tomm192]

Thanks man, on point and clear cut. Great video!

Thank you! I kept gagging, but now I molded the mouth guard (there were no instructions on the box) i don't gag anymore and it feels way better

I bought the SISU mouthguard. Best mouthguard I ever bought. Never buy mouthguards from Everlast, that is not their specialty

[@fighttips]

I used Sisu for years, yep!

[@eljefito94]

Yes! Bought a cheap everlast one, hated the feel, oversized, hard to breath, talked To my dentist they were charging 220 (insurance wouldn't cover) heard a lot about Sisu and champion? Gladiator? (Forgot) Sisu was cheaper, decided to try it out, love it. Got the case and spray. Use it for BJJ so I got the aero, breathing is awesome. I need to get used to it, I still play with it when I roll. But awesome fit and easy to mold and remold. Messed up like 10 times.

[@thecraftaddict2003]

eljefito94 Thats great! I love my mouth guard. Its easy to talk and taunt my buddies while we box!

[@roronoazoro8534]

Any other brand mouthguard that you guys recommend?

[@zaheer6827]

1. Boil water 2. Boil mouthguard for 10 seconds 3. Remove the mouthguard from the water (with tongs or a spoon) 4. Put it into your mouth 5. Suck all the air out, press your tongue into the back to push it against back of ur teeth. Use fingers to press into the front of your teeth

[@dennismullervomhagen1120]

I spoke lately to an dentist and he said that the mouthgards we get at the dentists, docs etc shouldn't be used in martial arts, because they are not made to surrive punches and proteced against sudden forces. They will be destroyed when it comes to punches and won't protect teeths.

you can do that at home, unless you have a stove in the gym :D but yeah - do it at home and once it's molded you're good to go

For lacrosse every time I would get a new mouth guard my dad would put his fingers in my mouth trying to mold it and it was so stressful doing it. There was no reason for it to be stressful but it was and it's like that for my brother to. But hey, tried girls lacrosse for the first time and it was fine!
