Do I Need a Top and Bottom Mouthguard?

There’s no denying the fact that a custom Mouthpiece Guy mouthguard provides unparalleled protection for athletes, whether you’re facing powerful punches in the boxing ring, misaimed passes on the lacrosse field, or any other type of athletic hazard. 

But with that in mind, you might be wondering: if wearing one specialty mouthguard from the Mouthpiece Guy can keep me safe from concussions, dental injuries, and more, then are there any benefits to wearing two mouthguards?

Well, here at the Mouthpiece Guy, we believe that most athletes only need a single mouthguard to achieve maximum protection and keep themselves safe as they train and compete.

That’s why all of our made-to-order mouthguards are molded to our clients’ upper arches and designed to be worn solely on the top of the mouth! 

So the next time you’re shopping for a specialized mouthpiece from the Mouthpiece Guy, you only need to add one mouthpiece to your cart! After all, you’ll get all of the comfort and protection you need from just one of our incredible specialty mouthguards!

No Need to Double Up with a Custom-Fit Mouthpiece Guy Mouthguard!

When you compare wearing a single mouthpiece from the Mouthpiece Guy to wearing two, it’s easy to see that one customized mouthguard provides all of the benefits you need to stay on top of your game, no matter what’s thrown at you!

From protection to comfort to price, you can have it all with just one specialty mouthguard from the Mouthpiece Guy!

• Protection

As an athlete, you value your physical health and wellness above all else. In fact, that’s probably why you’re wearing a custom mouthguard in the first place!

And it might be tempting to assume that wearing two mouthguards will keep you twice as safe from head injuries as a single mouthguard. Double the mouthguards, double the protection, right?

However, although wearing double mouthguards can provide slightly more protection for your jaw, it can also leave the soft tissues of your mouth much more vulnerable to injury!

After all, two mouthguards are going to be much bulkier than just one, which means that they are more likely to move around your mouth during impact and cause damage to your gums and tongue.

And while a cut on your gums might not seem all that bad in the grand scheme of your athletic career, it only takes one infected cut to put your health (and your athletic performance) into jeopardy!

Plus, surveys indicate that athletes tend to have worse oral health than their peers as it is, so it’s even more important that you do your best to protect your teeth and gums!

So while the idea of wearing two mouthguards to maximize your protection might sound appealing, you’ll be far better off sticking with just one custom-fitted mouthguard from the Mouthpiece Guy!

• Comfort

Most people probably think that protection is the most important factor when it comes to selecting athletic equipment, but the comfort and fit of that equipment can have just as big an impact on your athletic performance.

That’s because it only takes a momentary distraction - say, for instance, a slip of your mouthguard - to take your mind off of the game and prevent you from reaching your peak performance.

Now, normally, a specialized Mouthpiece Guy mouthguard fits perfectly with your upper teeth, so snug that you’ll barely even notice that it’s there! 

However, two mouthguards are naturally going to take up a whole lot more real estate in your mouth, and they’re more likely to draw your attention and break your focus as a result.

In fact, using multiple mouthpieces can make it more difficult to breathe and swallow, especially when you’re in the middle of a tense fight or a heart pounding game. 

That means that you’ll have a harder time taking a deep breath before you try to make that critical free throw, and it’ll even be more difficult to gulp down some refreshing water during one of your rare moments of rest mid-match.

As a result, your body won’t be getting the precious oxygen, fluids, and other resources it needs to function, which will greatly affect your athletic abilities and can even put you at greater risk of heatstroke and other serious conditions.

With that in mind, when it comes to your comfort on the field or in the ring, your best bet is to use a single specialty Mouthpiece Guy mouthpiece. 

• Price

When it comes to mouthpieces, you absolutely get what you pay for! It might cost more to get a custom mouthguard from the Mouthpiece Guy, but it’ll far outperform a “boil and bite” mouthpiece in terms of quality, durability, and comfort.

Still, nobody wants to shell out even more money in order to get a specialty mouthguard for both your upper and lower teeth. That’s twice the price, and those expenses will add up quickly!

Fortunately, when you buy your specialty mouthpieces from the Mouthpiece Guy, you’ll only ever need to use one mouthguard to reap all of the incredible protective benefits. 

That means more money in your pocket that you can use to enroll in jiu jitsu lessons, treat yourself to a new pair of cleats, or sign up for a new league where you can show off your athletic talents! No matter what, your custom Mouthpiece Guy mouthguard will help you perform at your best along the way.

Keeping yourself safe from head injuries doesn’t have to break the bank, not when you shop for a custom-fitted mouthpiece at the Mouthpiece Guy!
