MMA mouthguards
Our Heavy guard for MMA has three layers and your bite recorded in it, made from a 3D scan of your teeth in our Croydon lab and ready 7 to 10 working days after your scan and design.
Which guard for MMA
Fighters 16 and over wear Heavy ($365): three layers with your bite recorded, our build for MMA, Muay Thai and kickboxing, where one guard has to cope with strikes, the clinch and the mat. Karate, taekwondo and wrestling athletes 16 and over wear Medium ($320), with two layers. Juniors 15 and under wear Light ($230).

Which mouthguard is best for MMA?
The best MMA guard stays on your top teeth through a whole round, including when your mouth is open, without you clenching to hold it. Judge any guard by that test, whatever it costs.
A boil-and-bite from a sports store is cheap, and you can train in it the same day. The hard front strip on some bulky stock guards can cut your lip.
Thin guards such as the 2.4 mm SISU Max are popular with grapplers. Fighters still argue over whether they're enough for striking.
When your guard drops in a scramble, or you have to clench to keep it in, move to one made over a model of your own teeth.
Do you have to wear a mouthguard in MMA?
Yes, in a bout. The Unified Rules of MMA require every fighter to wear a mouthpiece, and the round cannot begin without it.
If a strike knocks the mouthpiece out, the referee has it replaced at the first opportune moment, and a fighter who spits it out on purpose can lose points. The rules set no colour.
NSW lists the Unified Rules for professional MMA and separate rules for amateur MMA; ask your promoter which your bout runs under. If you lose or damage your guard in fight week, call us: we keep your scan on file, so a replacement doesn't need a new scan.
Can you breathe and talk with a mouthguard in?
Yes, with a guard that stays up without you clenching it, so you can open your mouth to breathe and talk to your corner between rounds.
A Heavy guard covers your upper teeth only. We make it from your 3D scan, with your bite recorded in it. Tell us at the scan how you fight, and we'll talk you through the guard's shape.
Can one guard do MMA, Muay Thai and kickboxing?
Yes. Heavy is the tier we make for all three. If you also roll BJJ, the same guard suits; BJJ on its own is Medium ($320). Muay Thai and BJJ each have their own page with their own rules.
Do you need a mouthguard for karate?
For WKF kumite, yes. The World Karate Federation's 2026 kumite rules make a gum shield compulsory, and a competitor in metal braces needs the referee's and the tournament doctor's approval.
Your name or your dojo's name is included in the price; a dojo logo is $20 extra.
What colour mouthguard for taekwondo?
White or clear. World Taekwondo's competition rules limit the mouthguard to white or transparent, at least 3 mm thick and covering all the upper teeth. An athlete in braces needs a guard over the upper and lower teeth, and a dentist's letter.
Choose white in the designer, and check your event's rules before you add any printing.
Wrestling mouthguards
Wrestling is head-to-head contact from the first tie-up: shots, sprawls and mat returns. United World Wrestling's 2026 rules set no mouthguard rule, so ask your club or event whether one is compulsory.
Fight names, fangs and gym logos
Your fight name, flags and symbols are included in the price, and your gym's logo or your own artwork is $20 extra. The gallery shows fang designs and gym guards we've made.

Questions
Which mouthguard is best for MMA?
One that stays on your top teeth with your mouth open, without clenching. We make Heavy ($365) for MMA: three layers with your bite recorded, from a 3D scan of your teeth.
Do UFC fighters wear mouthguards?
Yes. Professional MMA bouts run under the Unified Rules of MMA, and the round cannot begin without the mouthpiece.
Are MMA mouthguards different from boxing mouthguards?
Ours are. We make Heavy for MMA (three layers, $365) and Medium for boxing (two layers, $320), both with your bite recorded. Some boxing rulebooks also set a colour rule that MMA doesn't: IBA rules ban red.
Should an MMA mouthguard cover top and bottom teeth?
Top only. Some rulebooks, such as WAKO's for kickboxing, ask fighters in braces to wear a guard over the upper and lower teeth; if you wear braces, call us before you book.
Can I get my fight name or gym logo on my guard?
Yes. Names, numbers, flags and symbols are included. Your gym's logo or your own artwork is $20 extra.
What colour mouthguard can I wear for taekwondo?
White or clear, under World Taekwondo rules.
How much is an MMA mouthguard?
Heavy, the MMA tier, is $365. Medium is $320 for karate, taekwondo and wrestling, and Light is $230 for juniors 15 and under. You can claim it on your health fund under item 151, on the spot in our Croydon clinic. Your gap depends on your fund and cover.
How long does an MMA mouthguard take?
7 to 10 working days from your scan, once your design is ready. Tell us your fight date when you book.
