Muay Thai gumshields · Lab-made in Dorset
Knees, elbows and the clinch — Muay Thai brings strikes from every angle. A custom Muay Thai gumshield is made from your own impression for a secure fit that lets you breathe through hard rounds.
In Muay Thai, your mouthguard is the only thing standing between your smile and a perfectly timed knee or elbow. Unlike sports with predictable impact angles, "The Art of Eight Limbs" brings strikes from every direction. A standard, thin "boil-and-bite" from a bargain bin won't cut it when you're clinching or trading in the pocket.
When choosing a gumshield or mouthguard for Muay Thai, you need to balance protection, breathing, and retention:
Multi-Layer Protection: Look for dual or triple-layer construction. An outer "shatter-shield" absorbs the initial impact, while a softer inner gel layer molds to your teeth to dampen the vibration.
Low-Profile Design: In the heat of a five-round war, oxygen is everything. Our Muay Thai guards are designed to be slim enough to allow for clear communication with your corner and easy breathing without sacrificing safety.
The "Clinch-Fit": A good guard should stay locked to your upper teeth even when your mouth is open. This prevents the guard from becoming a choking hazard during heavy grappling or clinching.
Jaw Stabilization: By creating a secure bite, a high-quality gumshield helps stabilize the jaw, significantly reducing the risk of concussions and jaw fractures from upward strikes (like uppercuts or knees).

Pro Tip: Never skip wearing your guard during pad work. Accidents happen when you're tired, and a stray elbow from your partner can happen in a split second. Train hard, stay safe.
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.
Questions
Can't find your answer? Our lab team is happy to help — including team and club orders.
Yes, if you spar or fight regularly. A custom guard stays in place in the clinch and is much easier to breathe through than a bulky boil-and-bite.
Yes — choose from our marble and stripe designs or design your own. Gyms can contact us about team orders.
With regular training most adults get a long life from a custom guard. Replace it if it's damaged, worn thin, or no longer fits snugly — for example after dental work.
