Very loose fit
Really disappointed with this product - opro are are supposed to be a good brand. Followed instructions to the LETTER, but the gumshield when moulded is very loose, the tooth imprints are just far too shallow for the gumshield to grip. It's like they didn't put enough putty (or whatever you'd call it) in. The imprints are about 1/3 of the depth of my cheap Sports Direct one and as a result the gumshield just doesn't stay in. Slightest touch with my tongue and it falls out - certainly not going to survive contact. Sent back for a refund.

not worth the extra, simply doesn't fit
I've tried many mouthguards, this is the most expensive I've tried. Of course I read and followed the instructions.Result: Doesn't fit closely to the teeth, doesn't stay in the mouth for a second even with mouth only slightly open.Looking at the design it is completely identical to the cheaper opro.I'm not a mouth doctor, but I would say it's obvious that it's impossible for this to stay in someone's mouth when their mouth is open. It just can't be fitted tightly to the gums, or allow the teeth to go deep enough.

No use for hockey.
I chose the gold version of this mouthguard in the mistaken belief that it would be better quality. I followed the instructions exactly and, when the mouthguard was moulded it fell out as soon as I opened my mouth. I repeated the moulding process, as directed in the instructions and got the same result. Having a loose mouthguard is of no use in hockey, as it would fall out as soon as you try to communicate! I picked this manufacturer because of the claim that they were World #1 and that my daughter had a well fitted junior version. I now have an expensive lump of plastic that is of no use for anything.

Great fit! Feels strong and sturdy
Great gum shield! I've used many over the years between karate and playing rugby. This is the comfiest and first that hasn't felt too long at the back - I've had to cut a lot of previous ones to size to avoid gagging as it feels like they are hitting the back of my mouth. This is easy to fit and comes with a little handle that you fit into the shield when you put it in the water before fitting. Makes it very easy. It is comfy and having followed the steps to fit it correctly mine fits like a glove. Doesn't just fall out of place and is comfy enough to be able to talk in. Overall, great gum shield.

If I could give no stars I would
I’m a female adult who’s taken up boxing so needed a gum shield! This looked good quality!I followed the instructions correctly to mould this to my mouth but it just kept falling out and wouldn’t stay in position for even a second. I repeated the process 3 times but this just made it worse! It’s now in the bin and I’ll need to buy another one!!

Solid protection
Bought this for my 8 year old son who plays rugby. The fitting instructions are simple to follow. My son commented how much more comfortable this was compared to his previous one. He also loved to England Rugby insignia on it and wears the shield with pride. Being easy to fit around the teeth is very important and needless to say the fit is very good. A solid purchase and have since bought one for my 12 year old daughter who also plays rugby.

Doesn't stay in - waste of money
As per a lot of other reviews, I've had several Opro gumshields before but this one doesn't seem to have enough putty - comparing to my old one which has a lot more around the molars, the new one is lacking and as soon as you open your mouth it falls out.You can see from my photo especially on the left side, for the largest teeth we have (and therefore the largest surface area to provide potential grip) there is so little putty it could never work.Can't return either so absolute waste of money!!

Best ‘all round’ I’ve used
Used a shock dr that feels like offers more protection. But shock Dr uncomfortable.Used a Blitz that more comfortable. But being soft it didn’t feel like it offered as good protectionThis 2nd best in each category, but best all round.Tried loads of others that not as good
