IMPRESSION STEPS

pLEASE rEAD ALL STEPS BEFORE sTARTING

  1. Before you begin, choose which impression tray fits your mouth the best.
  2. Mix one of each colour putty together until the white colour disappears and the putty reaches a consistent colour. Take no longer than 30 seconds to complete this stage.
  3. Roll the putty into a sausage-like shape and place it inside the tray, ensuring there is plenty of putty at the front of the tray.
  4. Keeping the tray handle aligned with your nose, locate your front teeth and push the tray upwards as far as possible, then bite down firmly at the back for a couple of seconds. Keep the tray still for 2 minutes to allow the putty to set.
  5. After two minutes, remove the tray from inside your mouth. It may feel tight against your teeth, in which case a gentle rocking motion of the tray may be applied to remove it.
  6. Wrap the impression in tissue and place it in the plastic bag supplied. Finally place the bag and your lab ticket inside the free post envelope. Please then take it to your local post office or parcel box.

Boxing Gumshields: Your First Line of Defense

In boxing, your gumshield is arguably the most important piece of kit in your bag—second only to your gloves. Whether it's a stiff jab or a heavy cross, the impact travels directly through the jaw. Without a professional-grade guard, you’re looking at chipped teeth, lacerated lips, or worse—a broken jaw.

At Gumshields.com, our boxing range is built to withstand the heavy-hitting nature of the "Sweet Science."

Engineered for the Ring

Boxing requires a guard that stays secure while you're moving, slipping, and countering.

  • Heavy Impact Dispersion: Boxing involves repeated, direct force to the front of the mouth. Our guards feature a Reinforced Frontal Shield that absorbs the energy of the punch and distributes it across the entire guard, rather than a single tooth.

  • Jaw Locking & Support: By creating a deep, custom-molded bite channel, our guards help "lock" your lower jaw into a stable position. This alignment is critical; a loose jaw is much more likely to be fractured or result in a knockout.

  • Cushioning the Blow: The dual-layer construction acts like a car's bumper. The rigid exterior takes the hit, while the Soft-Gel Inner cushions your teeth and gums, preventing the dreaded "lip-split" against your own teeth.

  • Optimized Breathing: Fatigue is the enemy of any boxer. Our low-profile design ensures your airway remains clear, allowing you to maintain your "boxer's breath" (the sharp hiss on impact) without restriction.

Why the "Clench" Matters

Did you know? Many knockouts in boxing occur because the mouth is open at the moment of impact. Our guards are designed to encourage a natural, comfortable clench, which tenses the neck muscles and stabilizes the skull, significantly reducing the risk of concussion.

The Professional’s Choice

Our boxing gumshields are manufactured from High-Impact Grade Polymer. Unlike cheap alternatives that turn brittle over time, our material remains flexible enough to absorb shock while being tough enough to last through a grueling 12-week fight camp.
