We would suggest the Gel Max Mouthguard for you if you play sports like basketball, hockey or boxing in which there is frequent inter player contact. A flying elbow, ball or puck can result in severe dental injuries that can require thousands of dollars to treat. In addition to dental protection, wearing a mouthgaurd can also help to reduce the risk of concussion if you suffer a direct blow to your jaw. If this happens, the mouthguard will absorb some of the force of the blow and reduce the amount of energy going to the brain. The benefits of wearing a mouthguard can are explained in detail here.
