<p><strong>Per Manufacturer-</strong></p>

Our in-house dentists have been making quality custom mouthguards for professional and Olympic athletes for over 30 years! We have the expertise and skills necessary in dentistry to manufacture the best mouthguards on the market. </span></address>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong> </strong></span> </p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Process-</strong> The process on this mouthguard is the same as most mouthguards. You will receive a kit in the mail to make your impression if you choose to go this route. You can have a dentist do it if there is one in your area, either one that is a BAMF dentist or your own. Since I have done kits before I chose to get the impression kit and do it myself. Here is what comes in the kit</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_0643.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1117" title="IMG_0643" src="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_0643-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">One thing I really liked about this kit is the three different size trays. I have a mouth that is on the smaller size and some kits that I have used the tray is just too big and some what uncomfortable. The directions that it comes with are very clear on how to create your impression, but I have done enough mouthguards before that it is pretty straight forward. This kit also comes with a box that not only is self addressed, but has the postage paid. During this entire time I kept in contact with BAMF and they responded to all of my emails promptly. We went over some design ideas and I finally settled on one. I took the impression and if you take it correctly it should end up looking like this.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_0650.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1120" title="IMG_0650" src="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_0650-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I then simply filled out the paper work and put everything in the box to send back to them. Now I did not opt to do a rush job (Which costs and extra $35) so mine took about 2-3 weeks, but if you order a rush they can get your guard done in under one week. Now on to the finished product.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><a href="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_0649.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1119" title="IMG_0649" src="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_0649-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><a href="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_0647.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1118" title="IMG_0647" src="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_0647-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><a href="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_0106.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1128" title="DSC_0106" src="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_0106-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>The Guard</strong>- I got the box and opened it up to find a nice case and my guard sitting inside. My first thought was, &#8220;Wow this thing is huge.&#8221; This is by far the thickest mouthguard I have ever seen. I got the super heavy weight model which is 7mm thick.  Now keep in mind that they provide the only $15,000 dental warranty and I can see why. I was a little worried I would not even be able to get it into my mouth. Well the good news is that I could. The fit of this guard is nice and tight. The key with this one is to make sure that you do the impression kit right because I do not see this one being easily adjusted*. However if for some reason it did not fit you can speak to one of their dentists that make the guards, and they can help you. You also have the option to return it and they will make you a new guard no problem as they do have a guarantee that the guard will fit. Now as for the design. It was exactly what I had asked for. I will say that I could see the paper that they had used to do the design, but that is pretty normal for a mouthguard so you can&#8217;t mark them too far down for that. The yellow however on the paper design in the guard did match the actual yellow of the guard which is nice as I have seen some from other companies where they could not match it. That is really the only negative thing that I have to say about this guard. If I were to rate this guard I would give it a nine out of ten on fit and comfort and eight out of ten just based purely on the visual part of it.  Now lets say you have a whole fight team that is interested or maybe you want another guard. Well BAMF offers discounts for just such an occasion. Be sure to contact them for details.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_0094.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1123" title="DSC_0094" src="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_0094-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><a href="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_0097.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1125" title="DSC_0097" src="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_0097-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><a href="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_0103.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1127" title="DSC_0103" src="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_0103-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><a href="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_0098.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1126" title="DSC_0098" src="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_0098-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Overall I can recommend this mouthguard as it does have an excellent fit and I definitely feel like my mouth is protected when I have it on. I would say that if you are in the market for a new mouthguard be sure and check out <a href="http://www.BAMFmouthguards.com">www.BAMFmouthguards.com</a>. They offer a great guard at a good price plus a warranty that is unmatched. Their guards start at around $65 and with so many custom options they can get to $150.</span></p>
<address><span style="color: #000000;">Notes</span></address>
<address><span style="color: #000000;">* This is directly from BAMF about adjustments. &#8220;Our dentists can make small adjustments to the mouthguard for comfort and fit if it&#8217;s too tight or rubs your mouth the wrong way in any areas. We take a lot of pride in our work and take our job to protect our customers very seriously. If you do not do the impression right, we will work with you to help you redo your impression since we will not make a mouthguard for someone that does not fit correctly or protect them as promised.&#8221;    </p>
