If you’re the parent of a lacrosse athlete, you want to give your child the best protection on the field.

Why Does My Child Need a Youth Mouthguard for Lacrosse?
Did you know that athletes are 60 times more likely to injure their teeth when not wearing a protective mouthpiece? Lacrosse is one of the most high-impact youth sports, and the risk is real. Here’s why a proper mouthguard is essential for every youth player:
1. Impact Protection
-
Lacrosse sticks, flying balls, and accidental elbow strikes can all cause serious mouth and jaw injuries.
-
A direct hit to the mouth can lead to tooth fractures, jaw dislocations, and even concussions.
2. Soft Tissue Protection
-
It’s not just teeth — lips, gums, cheeks, and tongue can suffer painful cuts without a mouthguard.
-
Goon Guard’s custom fit and thin design help prevent these injuries.
3. Braces-Friendly Design
-
If your athlete wears braces, a custom fit mouthguard can prevent painful cuts and damaged brackets.
-
Goon Guard mouthguards can be remolded as your athlete’s teeth shift.
What Makes Goon Guard the Best Lacrosse Mouthguard?
According to sports safety experts, the best lacrosse mouthguard is one that offers a custom, secure fit and allows players to breathe, speak, and drink easily during intense gameplay.
Why Goon Guard Stands Out:
-
Custom Microwave Fit: Form your Goon Guard mouthguard at home for a perfect, snug fit in minutes.
-
Braces-Friendly Design: Comfortable, non-irritating fit over metal brackets.
-
2x Impact Absorption: Scientifically tested to reduce impact by 2x vs traditional mouthguards.
-
Multiple Colors and Personalization: Match your team colors or print your number and name for a personal touch.

President of South Florida Orthodontics
For years I have struggled with poorly fitting mouthguards for patients wearing braces. This new guard fits more like a custom-made guard made off of an impression.

With a product like this I don’t know if I will ever see a reason to go through the time consuming and expensive process of custom fabricating mouthguards on study models for amateur athletes in my office ever again.

We have formed 103 mouthguards thus far for our football players. All have gone well and players like them. I will encourage all our other sports to use it.

For anyone who has gone through their share of the ‘boil and bite’ mouthguards, here’s one brand that is affordable, quick and easy to fit, that allows you to speak clearly and drink fluids without any difficulty.

I think this is a great product given that it does absolutely everything you ask it to do, and it does not obstruct one at all, keeping one’s mind in the game not the equipment.
