Review on πŸ₯Š OPRO Gold Competition Level Adult and Youth Sports Mouthguard: Ultimate Protection for Rugby, Hockey, Lacrosse, Boxing, MMA & More! by Carlos Long

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Matching stand not included, installation is free

I bought this for a rugby club here in the US as it is used by professionals around the world. I thought it would be a win-win situation. The package arrived on time and looked as described in the listing. This is Opro Gold. However, there was no stand for the fittings in the kit. But this isn't the first mouthguard I've had to fit, so a skimmer won't get you through everything. Without a suitable stand, I followed the instructions. Boil water, pour into bowl, immerse Opro for 20 seconds, take out, immerse in cold water for exactly 1 second, put in mouth, bite hard and massage cheeks/lips for 30 seconds. As a result of the first installation process, the gums fell out every time. I wanted to open my mouth. Incredibly free, I could barely start talking before he fell. I repeated the process a second time and again still free. In the end I gave him a little rest and then repeated it a third time. The gel fins were broken at this point and I just couldn't mount them properly. Tried yelling a few plays/calls to simulate being on the field and the bubblegum screen falls off, no way to communicate with this thing. Overall unsatisfactory experience, no cradle as mentioned in the instructions but that's not a problem, the fit was very loose for me (for comparison, the adult Shock Doctor sizes are too small for my mouth). The tote bag felt good and the instructions were clear, well illustrated and in many languages.
