[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tested the Shock Doctor Gel Max Power mouthguard and found it comfortable, easy to mold, and protective, but it’s noticeably bulky. After a few months of regular use, the fit loosened slightly and needed remolding—though the guard still held up with no tears. Some of the airflow versions (like the Trash Talker) offer better breathing and easier talking, but the holes can sometimes cause sharp edges against the inner lip. Overall, I’d recommend Shock Doctor for entry-level or casual use—especially if value, protection, comfort, and a gel feel matter more than low profile design. If you need slimmer gear or are wearing braces, explore more minimalist brands like SISU or consider custom dental guards.
