Review:

OPRO was founded by a former dentist, whose vision was to provide children with access to high-quality dental protection. Since its inception, the company has grown into one of the global leaders in mouthguard technology. OPRO is the official mouthguard of UFC, England Rugby, Hockey and many more.

The OPRO Silver mouthguard was a peasant surprise. The mouthguard had a really tight fit after going through the boil-n-bite process. And yes, just like almost every mouthguard on the market, the process was a little uncomfortable due to the high heat to takes to soften the material before you fit it in your mouth.

The ultra-flow gel and unique design with the fins on the inside of the mouthguard conformed to my teeth much like a custom mouthguard would. This mouthguard ranks in my top 10 and is recommended for several sports.

OPRO also makes other mouthguards with the same ultra-flow gel liner, but in different thickness levels like the Power-Fit, Platinum Elite and Gold Level. They also make some mouthguards with pretty cool graphics on the outside of the mouthguard.

The mouthguard is available in several color variations and comes with a pretty cool carrying case but it doesn't have a clip or carabiner to attach it to your athletic bag.

The OPRO Silver also comes in Youth and Adult sizes. If your not sure of what size to get check out my blog post "How To Choose The Right Mouthguard"

HOW I (The Author) TEST MOUTHGUARDS & WHY I CAN BE TRUSTED

My name is Ken Mitchell. I Have been fabricating custom mouthguards for more than 15 years and have been a dental technician for over 20 years. I also, have owned my own dental laboratory for over 20 years.

Besides having work experience with mouthguards, I know first hand the importance of mouthguards in the sports world. I have played several sports throughout my life at the hight school level, including basketball, football, baseball and beach volleyball. I am also a father to two sons and a daughter who have played Soccer, Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Lacrosse and Baseball ever since they were in the first grade. From time to time I have used my children to test mouthguards to get a first-hand, real-world experience with custom mouthguards and store bought mouthguards.

I search for every mouthguard on the market. Then, I purchase (with my own funds) every mouthguard I review through places like Amazon, eBay or directly from the manufacturer, just like you would, then evaluate every mouthguard based on my expert opinion. I also comb the internet to find other reviews on durability to develop a better understanding of specific mouthguards pros and cons over an extended period of time.

Every mouthguard I review, is fitted and examined by me. The only time a mouthguard is fitted by another person besides me, would be my son, who plays college football. I use him mainly to fit and use mouthguards for weight training and football.

When I review a mouthguard it must pass certain criteria to rank in my top 10.

• FIT- I believe this is the most important factor in evaluating a mouthguard, because without a tight fit, all of the other criteria can be thrown out the window. When wearing a mouthguard you shouldn't have to clench your teeth to stop the mouthguard from falling out. It should fit as tight as possible.

• Comfort- Comfort goes hand in hand with the fit, if the the mouthguard is comfortable you wont get distracted by focusing on your mouthguard, instead you will be focused on the game and perform at your highest level.

• Protection/Tooth Coverage- With advancement in materials, mouthguards that are thick, aren't necessarily more protective than thinner mouthguards. Brands like SISU and Game On, provide thinner mouthguards that are 40-100% stronger than EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) that is used by most mouthguard manufacturers. A proper fitting mouthguard should cover at least your first molars to provide adequate protection. A mouthguard shouldn't extend past your second molar because it could trigger the gag reflex. Also, your mouthguard should cover your gums or the roots of your teeth.

• Sport- Almost every mouthguard on the market is made for use in multiple sports but there are a few mouthguards that are designed for weight training or exercising. I will break down which sport each mouthguard is better for.

• Design- I examine the color variations available and the overall design of the mouthguard, the bells and whistles if you will.

• Fitting process- Most boil-n-bite mouthguards are fitted with the same process, although some fitting processes are more uncomfortable than others.

Remember to always take into consideration that every mouthguard may not suit your specific requirements. Each person is different and everyone's mouth is unique to that person. The Mouthguard Review can only evaluate the initial fit of a mouthguard and only "real world" use can show long term durability and other design flaws.

*The Mouthguard Review has no connection to any mouthguard manufacturer and has no financial incentive to rate any brand over another. All of the reviews are written and performed by one person and are 100% unbiased.
