Manufacturer Product Info:

Founded in 1996 by Paul Reavlin, Revgear continues to be the leading innovator of martial arts equipment. While training for his black belt, Paul grew frustrated with the existing training equipment on the market. Tired of false claims of quality and poorly designed products, he decided that creating a quality branded product line was the only alternative. And Revgear was born.

Review:

As far as I know, the Fight Dentist was an actual dentist that made custom mouthguards for athletes, especially for boxers and MMA fighters. The company started offering boil-n-bite mouthguards about 5-8 years ago. I'm not positive, but either Revgear has an agreement to sell Fight Dentist mouthguards or they bought the right to the Fight Dentist mouthguards. Not sure, but it really doesn't matter.

Fight Dentist has several design and color options. The mouthguard I reviewed, the gel mouthguard, comes in three different color variations.

The fit (which is the most important factor to consider when rating a mouthguard) was pretty good. It wasn't the best, but it really, was pretty decent. The material is very comfortable and thick enough for all contact sports.

The size of the mouthguard is perfect( for an adult), it covered my teeth all the way back just past my first molar. Keep in mind, I believe I have a mouth that is on the large side.

There aren't a ton of negatives with this mouthguard except for the price. I think its a little high and it also doesn't come with a carrying case.

Pros + :

• Comfortable snug fit

• Perfect size for an adult

Cons- :

• Expensive

• Doesn't come with a carrying case

• Only comes in 2 color variations (black and red)

Amazon Customer Reviews: 2.3 out of 5 stars.

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.
