I'm looking to start wearing a mouthpiece or mouth guard for playin basketball. I play in Men's leagues and pick up games. I dont have a good dental plan so i need help on how and where to get one.

I know theyre probably at a sports department store, but ive heard the best way to get them is customize size to your fit.

what position do you play and what level is the league at that you are playing in?

for some weird reason, i found myself playing more aggressively with a mouthpiece and im a guard

I just use a Shock Doctor I got from Sports Authority. After seeing a friend getting his tooth knocked out, I've been wearing one.

I play in a pretty competitive league. I would say its a league where most high school basketball kids go after graduating. I play guard. And i've heard the same story where when wearing a mouthguard will make you much more aggressive.

where did you get yours?

Go to D.icks and get one. Get the thinner one that is made for Basketball. Don't get the bulkier one that is for football.

I always have to get new ones because I end up chewing on them during dead balls

yeah i think its just a mental thing for me.  i draw more contact now on drives  compared to when i didnt use a piece. 

I go with the underarmour guard, its like 16 bucks. for me, its.easy to breathe with but i find myself spitting through the airways sometimes

Started over the summer after getting that annoying hit under the jaw again that leaves the bone by your ear feeling crazy for like a week. Really appreciate it as I've taken at least 5 or 6 more shots since
