Kickboxing gumshields · Lab-made in Dorset
Kickboxing combines heavy hands with powerful kicks. A custom kickboxing gumshield is made from an impression of your own teeth, so it cushions impacts and stays in through every round.
Kickboxing demands a unique level of dental security. Because you’re dealing with a high volume of rapid-fire punches and head kicks, your gumshield needs to handle both direct frontal impacts and lateral (side) strikes.
At Gumshields.com, we design our kickboxing range to ensure that whether you're throwing a spinning back-kick or eating a jab, your teeth and jaw remain intact.
While similar to Muay Thai, kickboxing involves more constant movement and high-volume punching. Your guard needs to stay out of the way so you can focus on your footwork.
Frontal Shielding: Extra thickness at the front to protect the incisors from straight punches and stiff jabs.
Bite-Pad Compression: Reinforced areas where your molars meet, which helps "lock" the jaw. This is crucial for absorbing the shock of a hook that could otherwise cause a dislocation or concussion.
Speech Clarity: Our guards are contoured to the roof of your mouth, allowing you to breathe deeply and shout instructions or "kiai" without the guard falling out.
Anti-Slip Texture: Specialized internal grip ensures the guard doesn't shift when you take a glancing blow to the cheek or chin.
Generic guards often feel bulky, leading athletes to chew on them or take them out during drills. Our Advanced Polymer technology allows for a thinner profile with double the impact resistance of standard EVA plastic. You get the comfort of a custom-fit with the convenience of a home-mold.
Athletes rate us
Great service. Quick turnaround, first-class contact with the graphics department to check a colour issue (from my end) and a great fitting training guard. Highly recommended!
I just purchased an extra thick gumshield for boxing and I'm really impressed. I've only used boil and bite gumshields previously and found they were really bulky, making it difficult to breathe — and they fall out easily.
I feel like more people should know about the company — great service and price point, and you get a product that protects your gums, made especially to fit your mouth perfectly.

A custom-fitted guard gives the most secure fit and is easiest to breathe through. Let us know you kickbox when you order and we'll build the thickness to suit.
A custom guard is slim and stays in place, so taking on water between rounds is much easier than with a boil-and-bite.
