Can you talk while wearing the mouthguard? Son needs it for football (after being kicked in the teeth recently) and he needs to talk to his team mates

No, not unless you cut it. My son is a point guard and he is not able to call the plays on the court with the full double guard in his mouth. It may work for other sports, but basketball has to be fast and they have to clearly hear you. We had the orthodontist cut it in half for us (he only wears the top) and it now works great. Only mouthguard I have been able to get him to wear.

Yes! My 10 year old son wore it for sparring in karate. He just got his braces off, but I just now had him put the mouthguard in to show me if he could talk. He could talk, and I was able to understand him.

Yes, my daughter is the goalie so she is regularly yelling where the ball is and where she needs people. The single braces one was much harder to talk with.

Same answer as Mr. Muhn provided. PS ... I no longer use mine because of the cost of having to replace the expensive batteries very often,, and also that the other person can't hear you until some time after the other has stopped talking. Plantronics has discontinued this product, probably for these reasons.

I use it connected to our outside TV for NFL Football. We start using it approximately @ 10 am (pregame), and don't unplug it until the last Sunday night game is over, and that is at full blast. I love my football and I like it loud! I would be comfortable saying 10 hrs++. As one of the others said, I LOVE MY MELODY. No problems so far....Tbone

Yes. When wearing it, my front teeth are separated. The guard keeps them apart with a piece in the back.

Use one mouth piece for yourself. If you are considering having others use it, a straw works through the mouth piece. This will save you money on purchasing additional mouth pieces.

I am not an expert, but I believe that FIFA Law 4 allows for headgear. My son wears it during U9 soccer in Ohio and we have yet to encounter any issues at tournaments or in league play. I did run it past the coach to make sure he didn't have any issues and he was all for it. 2 kids on our teams wear the Full90 product and I have seen other kids wearing the other brands.

Hey Angie, I use this produc with my 11 month old baby,on a few occasions he did place the band in his mouth. the few times he places i didnt see any harm to the baby . what I did to prevent that is place the band on his leg. I hope this help.

I find it difficult to talk with this mouthguard in place. I usually need to remove it.

I wear ear plugs with the face shield. Ear muffs might be tough. You might be able to do it if they were the type that you could turn the head band down on, say to the back of the head, if they the band wasn't tight.

I can drink while running with it, as far as the helmet, as long as the 1/4 inch hose can get in or under it, I should think so. you can spray with fingers from a distance into your mouth, or bite with teeth while in your mouth.....ive done both

You need the mouth guards. You squirt a small and equal amount around the mouth guard. If you did not get the mouth guards and it costs too much to order them. Go to a sporting guards store and buy the mouth guards there. Hockey players use then, so they will be there. Leave it on for about 20 minutes, it will strengthen your teeth. Ask anymore questions, if you need help. I don't work there, just use the product regularly.

My son injured his knee in football to where he had a stretched PCL muscle which is in the back of the knee. He wears these for Basketball and weight lifting. My advice is to check with your doctor to see if you can do squats or it just depends upon the injury to your knee. My son doesn't use them to sleep in. I don't know if this answers your question but he seems to think it works perfectly.

I really do not know. I have left my mouth guard in for many hours and it is was fine. It does taste like chlorine so I always either brush it with toothpaste or dip it in mouth wash. As for if they would both fit; I do not know. I know I could fit more than one mouth guard at a time if that helps.

I'm an adult but my mouth is pretty tiny. I don't think a 12 yr old will have any problem using this. I'm not sure why you'd want to wear it during the day... if clenching is a problem during the day cognitive behavioural therapy would be better since you can *consciously* be aware of it.To those who get months of use out of this you must not really be grinders! I can at most get 4 days use out of one before it becomes too thin/distorted to work. If I push it past that it doesn't stop me from grinding my teeth. I know because my hubby let's me know!

It fits much better if you do boil & bite. It's a great mouth guard. Nice protection.

I can't say what's "normal" because I have the same issue after roughly the same time of use. It's very bulky. I'm almost to the point of concluding that the thickness of the separate pieces, combined, cause my teeth to be too far out of alignment for comfort. The longer I use it, the less I like it. I'm about ready to try an athletic mouthpiece, and simply align my teeth to the same location as with this "adjustable" guard, when I do the first heat-compression.

You'd probably have a lot of wind noise for each other and have to likely speak very loudly. I've used them with a friend with both of us using 3/4 helmets, but we both had shields on them. There was a good bit of wind noise that way, so I'd imagine you'll just have it amped up. Engine noise isn't so much an issue as the wind blowing directly into and swirling around your face and the microphone.
