A mouthguard for karate must fit properly to provide optimal protection and comfort. Here are the key elements for a good fit:

1. Secure fit on teeth: The mouthguard should adhere firmly to the teeth without needing to be held in place with the tongue or lips. It should not wobble or be loose.
2. Even pressure distribution: It should distribute pressure evenly across all teeth to ensure maximum protection and comfort.
3. Clear airway: The mouthguard should not obstruct breathing. Adequate airways are crucial for endurance and performance in the ring.
4. Speaking and swallowing: You should be able to speak and swallow with the mouthguard without it moving or becoming uncomfortable.
5. Comfort and no gag reflex: The mouthguard should not sit too far back in the mouth to avoid gagging, and should be generally comfortable.
6. Individual adjustment: The best solution is a custom-made mouthguard like the one from Dental Armor, which is precisely fitted to your own tooth and jaw shape and specially crafted by a professional.

Mouthguards for karate are available in various places:

1. Sports stores: Many sports stores carry a selection of mouthguards, especially those that specialize in martial arts.
2. Online retailers: Websites like Amazon offer a quick solution with a wide range of cheap mouthguards.
3. Dentists: For an individually fitted mouthguard, you can consult a dentist. These are more expensive but offer the best fit and protection.
4. Dental Armor: The optimal solution for anyone looking for a high-quality mouthguard but not wanting to bear the high costs and effort of a dentist visit. With Dental Armor, the impression material is sent to you. The dental impression is simply taken yourself and sent back. A dental technician then crafts the mouthguard to measure and delivers it directly to your home.

Choosing the right mouthguard for karate depends on various factors:

1. Training intensity: For sparring and competitions, a more robust, better-protecting mouthguard is required than for light, careful training.
2. Comfort and fit: A mouthguard should be comfortable, fit well, and not obstruct breathing. "Boil and bite" models are affordable but don't offer the same tooth protection and comfort as a specially custom-made karate mouthguard from Dental Armor.
3. Material and quality: Cheaper models can be less comfortable and wear out faster. At Dental Armor, only materials from Germany are used for the karate mouthguard.
4. Personal preferences: Some karate fighters prefer mouthguards with special designs, colors, or brands. However, it's important that style is never prioritized over safety.

A mouthguard for karate offers several important benefits:

1. Protection of teeth and jaw: It prevents teeth from being damaged or knocked out and protects the jaw from fractures.
2. Impact absorption: The mouthguard absorbs and distributes the force of strikes to the face, reducing the risk of injury in the mouth and jaw area.
   Prevention of cuts: It helps avoid cuts to the lips and oral mucosa that could be caused by the teeth.
3. Brain protection: By absorbing strikes, it can indirectly help reduce the transmission of shock waves to the brain, which reduces the risk of concussions.
4. Improved concentration: Since the karate fighter has to worry less about injuries in the mouth area, they can focus better on the fight.

A mouthguard is therefore an indispensable protective element in karate.
