Bulletproof Mouthguards Thinnest Breathable Mouth Guard: 3X Stronger

I need to wear a mouthguard for jiu jitsu – but I HATE wearing them. They make me gag. I was rolling in a competition a couple of months ago and had to spit the one I was using out. So I saw two here on Amazon that looked similar and very low profile – Sisu Max and Bulletproof. I bought both. It only took me 2 tries to get a great fit with the Sisu Max and it seems very durable. I had a hard time with fitting the Bulletproof – it took me about 10 times to mold it and it came out so so. I do like how the Bulletproof feels – it’s like having nothing in your mouth. But that’s kind of what worries me about it – it doesn’t seem like it offers as much protection as the Sisu. The Sisu Max feels more durable and it’s still fine for me to wear. I am going to use both but the Bulletproof will probably be more of a backup. I did get a Bulletproof for my son, as I needed some comfortable protection for him and the Sisu is too big. But he’s also not getting hit as hard in the mouth as I am… yet.

The classic youth mouth guard is pretty awful. Boiling them for forming seems to always burn the kid’s mouth, and I’ve had one break apart just from having to re-do the initial forming several times. Even if you happen to get them set right, they are very bulky. Kids are constantly pulling them out to talk clearly or simply give their mouth a break. As a parent and a flag football coach for the 4 to 5 year old and 6 to 8 year old age brackets, ten minutes doesn’t go by before I’m having to remind my son or the other players to put their mouth guards back in. Inevitably they drop them and get distracted dusting them off, and it seems to always happen just as a play is starting. I can say the old-style mouth guards have scored on us several times.

This year was different. Eager to try yet another mouth guard hoping to find a better fit for my son, the Bulletproof Kevlar Youth arrived. The first thing you notice is how incredibly thin and lightweight it is. The next thing you notice is that there are markers and alignment guides to help you with positioning for forming. Then there’s the odd fact that you don’t boil them – you use 160degF water which is much more comfortable for the kids during forming. The videos were easy to follow, though it took me a second attempt to get it just right. Unlike traditional mouth guards which only seem to reset about halfway back, these truly reset back to their starting shape when reheated while they are new – it’s fun to watch and you ought to try it at least once! Once your kid has used the guard a few times, it gets back to about 90% of original shape if you have to reset it. One unexpected bonus is being able to easily remold these as baby teeth grow, fall out, and shift!

As far as field use, these are absolutely a game changer. Kids with the Bulletproofs can make play calls with mouth guards in place and their teammates can clearly understand them. They all but forget they are in place, which is perfect for keeping the focus on practice and games. My son does still tend to chew on his mouth guard, and while I believe it lasted longer than a traditional one, it wasn’t by much. We tested the excellent customer service and got a free replacement under the warranty. I’m sure we’ll be buying a new one in a year or so as I can’t imagine going back.

I wish we had tried a Bulletproof much earlier, but I’m certain I was staying price conscious and sticking with the cheapest options. In hindsight, I was saving $5 to $7 but not accounting for the fact that these are Made in USA and have a real, human customer support staff. Most importantly, they still protect my child’s teeth while allowing him to spend more time developing skills and enjoying game play.

I purchased the night guard version although there does not seem to be a difference in the regular version. Maybe night guards only come in white?
Not easy to mold. Arrives completely flat and takes way more effort to shape than it says on the package and video.
I wish it came with a case.
It also squeezes your teeth. Hugs tightly. I can verify this because I was starting to develop a slight gap in between my two front teeth. Now it’s gone. Thank you.
The color doesn’t seem to fade or tarnish.
I like how there are drainage holes. And I like the price. That’s all I like.

The night mouthguard is what I purchased. Video is VERY helpful. Fitting did take me 3 trys and I finally got a very good fit. The front part is not easy to smooth out and that is where I am most sensitive. Just keep doing the touch up dip in hot water like the video shows. You’ll get the fit you need. Final product is so much less bulky than what I have used for many years! Also, since it is not squishy like other night guards it stopped me from clenching! Also, it’s pretty amazing that a full reheat brings the guard back to flat so you can fit it from step one repeatedly without fear.
If you aren’t satisfied with it, you get you money back!
Great product backed by a solid American company…this is a WIN!!
PS: I ordered a second guard and fit it nicely the very first time!
