[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want to get the Shock Doctor braces strapless mouthguard. It’s a clear light blue. Make sure you also get the strapless one. There are two kinds, one is for top and bottom braces and is one piece and horrible to wear. You want just the one for the top imho even if your child has bottom braces. You can get it on Amazon. 2nd pps suggestion to get the adult size. With this particular mouth guard you can cut it down if it’s too long and it won’t have rough edges. Unlike other mouth guards you do not mold the one for braces. You will also want to get the Shock Doctor mouthguard case which hooks to any bag.

I caveat this all with that you are going to have a tough time getting him to wear it. Most kids even with braces don’t seem to wear mouth guards unless they are required by the league. [/quote]

This, definitely.  We tried Shock Doctor for braces, probably your best option.  Orthodontist also gave us one, but DD still won't wear it.  She says "it's hard to breathe" with it in her mouth, and she is a center back and needs to be able to communicate with teammates, which is basically impossible with the guard in her mouth.
