What’s the difference between single and double mouthguards?

Single covers the upper arch and is easier to breathe with. Double covers both arches for more protection but breathing is harder.

Which mouthguard should I use with braces?

Use a braces-specific model such as OPRO Instant Custom-Fit Braces, with extra room and protection for brackets and wires.

How long does a mouthguard last?

Typically 6–12 months depending on use and care. Replace if cracked or misshapen.

Can I use one mouthguard for both boxing and MMA?

Yes. Most models suit both; choose according to training intensity and club rules.

How do I mold a boil-and-bite mouthguard?

Use hot (not boiling) water, insert and bite to shape, then set in cold water as per the instructions.

A quality mouthguard is essential in combat sports. Whether you train boxing, Muay Thai or MMA, it helps prevent dental injuries, protects the jaw and builds confidence in sparring. This 2025 Switzerland guide compares leading models, highlighting the OPRO Instant Custom-Fit as the market’s top reference.

Why a good mouthguard matters

Dental & jaw protection: lowers the risk of chips, fractures and cuts.
Impact management: materials absorb and disperse part of the shock.
Breathing & comfort: correct fit supports breathing and focus.

How to choose

Experience level

Beginner: simple boil-and-bite, easy to fit.
Intermediate: multi-density for stronger retention and absorption.
Competitor: maximum shock absorption, improved airflow, rule-compliant.

Type & use

Single (upper arch): balanced protection with easier breathing.
Double (both arches): greater coverage; breathing requires practice.
Braces: braces-specific models only (e.g., OPRO Braces Instant Custom-Fit).

Materials & tech

Boil-and-bite: at-home molding with hot (not boiling) water.
Custom-Fit technology: near-professional fit achieved quickly.
Gel/EVA multi-density: comfort + retention with better energy dispersion.
