WBC guardkit recommendation

GuardKit


The WBC Medical Congress in Cancun, Mexico, has recommended the adoption of pressure laminated mouth guards। The case was presented by California based dentist Dr Ray Padilla who stressed: " Many boxers are using the best gloves, and protection cups. They must invest in the best mouth guard. It's going to going to allow them to breathe better, talk clearly while it's in their mouth and give them a slight competitive edge."The cost is 200 dollars.
The pressure laminated mouth guard is made after a dentist makes a mould of the boxer's mouth। It fits like a glove, stays in for the whole bout including between rounds, and can be easily removed if the trainer pushes down on the end of it, releasing the suction effect which neatly dislodges it from the teeth.

The benefit for protecting from concussion has not yet been proved. But it does prevent dental trauma. Doctor Padilla chewed out the stock as well as boil and bite mouth guards as ineffective.
He explained that the reason some boxers feel uncomfortable with mouth guards is because they don't fit properly and fly out when the boxer is punched.
The pressure laminated mouth guard does not come out and can not be swallowd by a fighter who's knocked out.
This key recommendation will go to the WBC's Annual Convention in Manilla in November.
Sugar Shane Mosley and Erik Morales already use these mouth guards made for them by Dr Padilla.
