can or can't...I would think (having had impressions done on my teeth which was messy enough WITHOUT braces) if it got between the wires and such it'd get stuck and be a mess...kind of like gum!
THAT makes sense......like a barrier...
Yeah, thats it. I don't know if it would work but if you have braces and want a mouth piece that fits perfectly and is comfortable,,,it would be worth a try. Or, call an ortho and ask what other options there are, but that would be more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
As I have said before, been with braces for 2 years....
I crash ALLOT......
never used this rumored "wax".....
never had an issue riding......
Shouldn't it be this instead...............

:jos: you ride trails allot,,,mostly. How many crashes were you involved in where you were 20 to 30ft in air when you crashed. A get off going around a corner is not what JYD is concerned about. He is thinking of the bigger picture. Do you wear a leatt brace when you ride? He does, so I am thinking he is a little more caution oriented since he races MX and the bike leaves the ground more. There are more likely chances of jetting seriously hurt by casing or over jumping. Not saying trails can't be dangerous. Just saying hitting big jumps are.
I met a kid this summer riding in a Razor that was paralyzed because he over jumped a triple by about 30feet or more. When he landed his bottomed out and landed so hard on his seat that he compressed his spine. I am just saying that sometimes you land that hard, and if your tongue is hanging or in the way of your teeth....well you might not be able to speak correctly for the rest of your life as well. Just something to think about
I guess I'll just have to type out my complaints and send them to youHave you considered having your jaws wired shut?
My cousin buys these one for football where you boil them for 10 minutes then take an impression, made for reg teeth and braces. Plus I think I can get on for free through my ortho, they asked before if I needed one and I turned down the offer, since I haven't thought about it.

To be fair, Jos refers to a leatt as a 300$ piece of junk plastic that serves no purpose
Right Brandyn? I think jackson nailed this one directly on the head. You got it for me dude 
Ray i use the shock doctor for hockey and i find it a liiiiiitle bulky, and breathing is sometimes restricted. Try a underarmour flowing mouthgard, or one from a dentist. I know some brands make braces mouthgards specially, plenty of my buddys have them. Go for the braces one, they go up a little more and protect a little better, too bad you couldn't take them for a test rip eh

Hey tahnks brah
good info! I dig UAWell, today we ran to walmart, I bought a 3$ dual layer mouth gaurd that forms to my teeth and a good quality pair of compression shorts. I'm going to check them out and see how it feels then make my vote on how it goes next weekend
good quality and walmart should not be used in the same sentence...

The mouthgaurd is cheap, the compression shorts are like UA or something
