Mouth Guard

[SFGiants]

Anyone have a good recommendation for a good mouth guard? My teeth really hate me after squats and deadlifts and it's getting annoying.

I'd probably just get a cheap generic one at the sports store, boil it and bite down. COnsidering getting one too. My teeth are all cracked. Not just from lifting. When I get stressed I tend to grit my teeth. I don't grind them, I just seem to bite down hard and stay that way until my jaw starts to ache.

I got one two years ago from my dentist after he recommended it due to me grinding my teeth during workouts.

Took me forever to figure out the link but it's there now ^^^^^^^^

I use the under armour brand armour bite. It has wedges in the back you really want to destroy. Its expensive--$25 bucks.

So much this!! I've been dipping a tin a day for about 20 years. Dentist says you'd never know I even dipped. But I grind my teeth I to nubs when I'm stressed or heavy dead and squat days. It's called bruxism. He says I'll need new teeth by the time I'm 50.

I've grounded and clenched my jaw bad enough to give me headaches that last a few days.

SF, I've tried some mouthpieces but they annoy me. Your best bet would be to try a non-contact mouth gaurd. They're not as restrictive as a regular mouthpiece for football or other contact sports, but they'll stop you from grinding your teeth.

Lucky bastard... I'm packin a lippah right now. After a few weeks I have to stop cause my gums get torn to shit, bleeding and it looks and feels like my teeth will fall out. Although I'm kinda excessive with it. I'll pack damn near a quarter tin of kodiak. I can barely talk with it in.

No, but they do come in asshole. It's brown and tastes like farts, I didn't care for it.

You can get a nice fitted one for around 100. That's what I'd get.

You're lucky, like me. I've been chewing Kodiak for 25 years and neither my Dentist or hygenist know. I have one spot where my gums eroded a little bit but that's all. I always lie on my dental forms and say no tobacco so my premium stays lower.

I used to use a mouth guard while playing Flag football:/

This is exactly what I was looking for! My jaw muscles hate me after squatting, benching, or BB pressing. Hard to eat the next day. Thanks for all the links too!

 

[Ezskanken]

you should try and find someone local that does personal ones...where they take a fitting of your teeth

this guy is in Cali but you get the gist

I would, but I hate the dentist lol! Very childish of me I know, but every time I go they keep pushing back what we planned because they are running behind. I don't have time to waste during the week. The only time I can go to the dentist is when my wife is off, and she is very rarely off Monday through Friday. Might give it one more shot before we leave though. Get my last 2 cavities filled lol!

My experience has been that the dentist charges way more than an outside company..had one made and it was 500.00 from dentist...can you say "RIP OFF"

 

[Pinkbear]

I got a cheap one from big 5

Make sure it's one you can mold to your teeth other wise it's annoying

Also I gave up the mouth guard and chew some big red.

I ended up getting the Under Armour ArmourBites non-contact mouth gaurd.

Got it off Amazon with the free Prime trial lol! I've tried the standard mouth pieces before, even tried trimming them down, but still didn't like how it felt or how I looked like a damn chipmunk lol. Hopefully this one is the one.
