The Custom Difference — and Why Las Vegas Sports Culture Demands It
A dental injury from a sports collision can mean a cracked or knocked-out tooth, a lacerated lip, or a fractured jaw — and generic drugstore mouthguards provide a fraction of the protection a custom-fitted device delivers. Boca makes custom athletic mouthguards precision-fitted from impressions of your own teeth and fabricated in a professional lab from high-quality EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate).
Because they fit correctly, custom guards stay in place during impact, allow normal breathing and speech, absorb and distribute force evenly, and are thin enough that athletes actually wear them. They suit athletes of all ages across every collision or fall-risk sport — football, basketball, soccer, hockey, lacrosse, rugby, wrestling, boxing, MMA and BJJ, baseball and softball, volleyball, gymnastics, and skateboarding.
