PROS & CONS of boil-&-bite mouthguards
Jun 18, 2024| - SINGLE and DOUBLE options – if you love having a DOUBLE mouthguard which also covers the lower row of teeth, or maybe you like having breathing holes in the center, your only choice is to get a boil-&-bite. Custom mouthguards do not come in the DOUBLE design. I think it's because it's incredibly hard to know exactly how the top and bottom row will line up for each individual person.
- CONVENIENT – you can buy them from a store and mold them right away to your mouth within 10 minutes. With a custom mouthguard, you have to get an appointment to get fitted somewhere (which also has a wait in itself) and then wait a couple more weeks to get your mouthguard. If for whatever awful reason the fit isn't perfect, you have to do it all over again.
- CHEAP – boil-&-bite mouthguards may cost only $25-35 for the absolute best ones. Custom mouthguards can run anywhere from $50-150 for the best ones.
- BETTER PROTECTION – I feel more protected with boil-&-bite mouthguards than I do in custom ones. Granted, I haven't tried very many custom ones but the experience I had was enough for me.
