Mouthguard for light sparring?

[Zahra]

I'm a beginner student of JKD, and at the end of each class we have a light boxing sparring session. Now I've seen some students put on mouthguards, and I'd like to do the same. My question is this:

Is there a significant difference in protection between a single and a double mouthpiece? Is there a particular brand you would recommend?

I was going to go for the simplest, cheapest single one like this, before I started to doubt whether it'd be sufficient:

Academy Of Karate - Martial Arts Supply Inc. ($2.50)


Here's a basic double version
Academy Of Karate - Martial Arts Supply Inc. ($4.50)


and then they get fancier and more expensive Academy Of Karate - Martial Arts Supply Inc. ($27)


My goal is to prevent the expensive porcelain veneers in my mouth from being knocked out by a stray punch. Which kind of a mouthguard would I need?

I asked my dentist and he told me to get the kind that you boil so it gets soft and will mold to your teeth. I told him that was all mouth-guards and he shrugged. I usually use a single (top only) mouth guard and I've never had a problem. You might want to experiment with them to decide what you like best but IMHO there's no reason to spend more than you have to for a fancy one.

i got one from my dentist. Forget the brand but was designed for extreme sports and boxing ect.

Cost me $275AUSD for it.

I'd talk with your dentist about this, Im sure they'd give you a good idea of what you should get, I've never had veneers haha so Im not to sure personally, best ta ask your dentist!
