mouth piece help

[L.I. LAX]

alright my season starts in a week, but unlike last season now i have braces and a palat expander so i just wanna know if that could be any kinda problem with wearing a mouth piece. sorry if this is a stupid question

[TPGoalie]

had the exact same thing last year, got a shock doctor braces mouthpeice, super comfortable

[mack8]

I just got braces a few months ago and I got the Shcok Doctor Gravity. It really helps your breathing and you can talk really clearly. And it might have saved me from a concussion once or twice during indoor.

[L.I. LAX]

nice. could i pick something like that up from modell's or something

[mack8]

Dick's- it was $20 I think...

[RIT37FO]

back in the day my ortho gave me a special mouth peice. apparently the gravity is illegal but refs didnt say anything about mine last week

thats because they hadent handed down a ruling until this week. so look out next week, cause they may look for it.

[spartanlax91]

well i have braces and my teeth are pretty crooked, and if your teeth are pretty crooked right now, none of the shock doctor mouthpieces will do ya, especially the one made for braces because you cant boil that.
what i do is get the 2 dollar mouthpieces because theyre HUGE and you can boil them to your teeth, the drawback however is, i go through about 2 mouthpieces a month, because my braces scrape them up

[Conanmonis]

umm, they are actuallty gunna check what mouthpieces you guys have? and also what makes a mouthpiece illegal?

[spartanlax91]

cannot be White or clear, and in some schools cannot be black.
Mouthpiece cannot be chewed up

[mack8]

Well, I have a gravity and I got checked tonight at my game and he said it was totally legit. Soooo... I think it's legal.

[LacrsseJsusFrek]

When i had braces my orthodontist had some special mouthpieces that covered your teeth and cheeks so they didn't get scraped up, it worked fine for me. I just got my braces off a couple of weeks ago though, so I don't have to worry about it!

[Skiboarder]

ok. I have braces, and my dads a dentist. Instead of dropping 20 bucks on a mouthguard we got one of those 99cent ones (my dad gets em for about 25 cents a guard) and just put it under hot water from the faucet for a minute or so, then put it in my mouth. Keep it in there for a minute or two and it will have conformed to the shape of the braces. The guard shouldnt be that hot after putting it under the water.

[ELDIABLO]

The Gravity is illegal in CO. Two guys on my team had to get different mouth pieces because the ref said they were illegal.

[lax21goalie2008]

Where can you get the gravity mouth piece. I about it somewhere, and I really like it since I can't talk with a regular mouth piece without sounding like the kid from family guy that likes meg.

[Jordan798]

one of the kids on my team has a dad whos an orthodontist so he made us all specially fitted clear mouth guards. are those legal? ( dont mean to hijack)

[ThugLife9998]

cheap Adams works best. Ive got one and i wear braces. Breathing's much better than a shock doctor.

I don't know about where you live, but here, the clear mouth guards are illegal because the refs can't see if you have one in or not.

[MadCowDisease]

I just wanted to say that those SHock Doctor mouthpieces are soo expensive. Are they truely worth it compared to one of those $3 regular mouthpieces?

[jsdwyer91]

yea i had a palat expander last year and regualr braces this year, last year i got the shock doctor braces mouth peice, but this yea im just using a regualar one

[ColtsLax]

No, not in HS or college, if they have a colored stripe in the middle, they are legal, but all clear are not.

Well, I have a gravity and I got checked tonight at my game and he said it was totally legit. Soooo... I think it's legal. Soooo...your wrong. they just handed down a ruling on the gravity, and it is now illegal. look in the rules forum for the whole deal. The ref may just not have gotten to ruling yet.

[Megadeth1850]

Get the mouthguard that is for braces...

[Cahillite LAX]

Why are clear mg with a stripe illegal?

[tobin4]

No, not in HS or college, if they have a colored stripe in the middle, they are legal, but all clear are not.

theyre not illegal..

[b-boy_laxman]

so realy normal ones are just as good as shockdoctors, even to absorb shock for box?

[bigzoinka17]

i had one of those shock doctor braces kind and i payed a bunch of money for it and i hated it. i sent them an email to complain and they sent me 2 free mouthpieces that are clear with a black stripe by your 2 front teeth and since i have braces i just reboil it every month or so because my teeth are shifting so much from my braces.

[goalie33fan]

The best mouth guard is a gladiator, but there like 100 bux.

see, he does what i do. Cheap mouth guards work best for crooked teeth that have braces

[HeadHeartHustle]

o man, this got me thinking, i should buy a new mouthpiece. Mine is really old and chewed. pretty gross.

i think sumone said it bfore, but get a cheap moldable piece and boil it to fit your braces perfectly. If it not right, just do it again till your like it. Be prepared to make multiples, becuase your teeth are going to change position when you have a palet expander AND braces.

So each time you get your pallet widened or braces tightened, id make a new one so your braces dont do nothing.

[Dub C lacrosse]

I bought this one mouth guard made for braces and it works perfect.

[Storm_16]

You can ask your orthadotist(sp?) and they should just give you one

[Warriorlacrosse]

I have braces and I used a regaular shock doctor one last night and it melted to my braces and ripped when I pulled it off.
