A mouthguard is a crucial piece of equipment in kickboxing, boxing, and other combat sports. It not only protects your teeth but also reduces the risk of injuries to your lips, tongue, and cheeks. In this guide, you'll learn why a mouthguard is so important, how it works, and which size you need!
During kickboxing or boxing, your teeth and jaw endure significant impact from punches and kicks. A mouthguard is made from shock-absorbing material, which spreads the force of an impact over a larger area. This reduces the intensity of the blow and minimizes the risk of dental injuries.
Besides protecting your teeth, a mouthguard also enhances overall safety by creating a protective layer between:
✔ Your teeth and lips – Preventing cuts and tears.
✔ Your tongue and cheeks – Reducing the risk of internal mouth injuries.
✔ Your jaw – A well-fitted mouthguard can help lower the chances of jaw injuries.
Choosing the right size is essential for optimal protection and comfort. Mouthguards generally come in two main sizes, based on age and dental development.
✔ Suitable for children up to 11 years old.
✔ Ideal for young athletes with baby teeth or transitioning teeth.

✔ Suitable for ages 11 and up.
✔ Designed for teenagers and adults with a fully developed set of teeth.
✔ Not sure which size to choose for your child? If their permanent teeth have fully developed, an adult-sized mouthguard is recommended.
For maximum protection and comfort, a mouthguard should fit snugly on your teeth. Most mouthguards are boil-and-bite, meaning they can be softened in warm water and then shaped to fit your teeth perfectly.
