Shockdoctor Gel Max Mouthguard
front view
Let me start by saying that I have only ever tried boil and bite mouthguards. So far this one is the best, hands down. It took me 2 tries to get it to fit just right, but it now stays tight and feels great.
It has an integrated airway, that works much better than I expected. Even when clenching my jaw, due to a choke being applied, etc. I find that I can breathe better.
One negative about this mouthguard is the somewhat rigid frame, what they call the “exoskeletal shock frame”. It has a bit of a sharp outer edge, that irritated the inside of my mouth. I re-boiled it and pressed some of the gel over the edge and the problem is gone, but it is certainly something to note, as that gel should be protecting your teeth, not pushed towards the outside of the mouthguard to cover the edges.
Overall I would give this mouthguard a 7.5 out of 10, with other boil and bites I have used falling in at around a 4 or 5 out of 10.
