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.

MMA Gumshields: The Ultimate Armor for the Cage

Mixed Martial Arts is the most demanding environment for a mouthguard. You aren't just worrying about a single type of impact; you are transitioning from high-velocity striking to intense wrestling and technical jiu-jitsu. An MMA guard has to do it all: stay put during a double-leg takedown and absorb the force of a 4oz glove.

The "All-In-One" Protection Requirement

In the Octagon, your gear has to be as versatile as your skill set. Our MMA guards are engineered for the multi-disciplinary athlete.

  • Dual-Core Impact Absorption: MMA strikes are unpredictable. Our guards feature a hard outer frame to withstand direct punches and a soft gel inner liner to soak up the "rattle" from elbows and knees.

  • The "Zero-Shift" Retention: When you’re fighting for position on the ground, the last thing you want is a loose guard. Our V-Fit Technology creates a vacuum seal on the upper arch, ensuring the guard stays locked in place even during the most aggressive grappling scrambles.

  • Airway Optimization: MMA is exhausting. Our guards are designed with integrated Oxy-Flow channels that keep your airway open even when your jaw is clenched, helping you maintain your gas tank into the deep rounds.

  • TMJ (Jaw) Stabilization: By providing a structured bite-plane, our guards help align the jaw. This reduces the risk of the jaw being "sheared" sideways by a hook, which is a leading cause of knockouts and concussions.

Why 4oz Gloves Change the Game

The Science of Impact: Unlike 16oz boxing gloves, MMA gloves are small and dense. This means the force is concentrated on a smaller surface area. A "standard" mouthguard often isn't thick enough to prevent the teeth from cutting through the inner lip. Our MMA range is specifically thickened at the "strike zones" to account for this.

Pro Tip: The "Breathe-Through" Test

If you can't take a deep, labored breath through your mouth while wearing your guard, it’s not for MMA. We test our guards to ensure they allow for maximum ventilation during high-intensity heart rate spikes.
