Excellent product. I had tweaked my neck on heavy cable rows a few years ago, leaving a lingering injury for months. After using the 6DS - this most recent purchase is my third one or so - it really seems to keep my neck centered, neutral, and stable, so I can exert myself without worry. My neck since healing might not be the 6DS's doing, but I haven't tweaked it since employing the 6DS.With my current order, I had an issue with the case, and their customer service responded to my email in literal minutes, providing a resolution to my concern. It's great to see such exceptional customer service and to see the company stand firmly behind their product.The only caveat I'll offer is some of the cases might not lock securely, so until they've upgraded the cases, getting a cheap retainer case here on Amazon for a few bucks is worth considering, or test out your case before going to the gym, and if the closure seems weak, perhaps put a rubber band on it.That said, I still wholeheartedly recommend the 6DS, as it's helped maintain the health of my neck when exerting myself close to failure on my heavier sets, and it does seem to allow that little bit of extra force production, which - when compounded over years of training, only adds to my progress in the gym.

I got these because I was looking for a mouth guard that didn't get in the way. Most sports mouth guard require a closed jaw, forcing me to breath through my nose or awkwardly breath through my mouth. These were supposed to leave the mouth open to breath freely.First thing first: There were a lot of reviews on here about how the fitting process destroys the mouthpiece or otherwise makes it a mess. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Those posters have mentioned that boiling it melts it. This is true, but you are NOT SUPPOSED TO BOIL IT. You boil water, then transfer the water in to a glass bowl, *then* place though mouthpiece in the water. I followed the instructions and everything was done perfectly, easily, and on the first try.Moving on to practicality, the mouthpiece took a little getting used to, but not much. By my third day lifting with it I was adjusted to having it in my mouth. It makes it hard to swallow, but since my teeth are separated I can breath very freely. It fits well, and it's uncomfortable. I got this to protect my teeth since I clench during heavy lifts and was concerned about cracking something. The mouthpiece accomplishes this perfectly. I can bite down as hard as I'm inclined to without pain or fear of dental damage. One less thing to worry about when working out.As far as the claim that it helps you lift stronger, I haven't noticed any difference. Not even a few pounds. I've been lifting for year, and maybe a beginner would notice a difference? But since it's marketed to heavy lifters I would say the claim, in my experience, is untrue. I've seen several people on lifting forums stating it made no difference for them either, but there are a handful who say they thought it worked a little. Take it as you will, but don't expect anything magic.

I bite down a lot when lifting heavy and I nearly chipped my teeth doing deadlifts. You only get one set of teeth and knowing that Brian Shaw uses this mouth piece I knew it was a winner. I read some other reviews that were negative saying how the mouth piece was melted and ruined when they boiled it in the water, well those people are dumb the instructions don't tell you to do that, so follow the instructions first step, there is an instructional video showing and explaining how to fit the mouth piece you get. It's very straight forward and simple.I followed the directions amazingly and guess what it fit perfectly first try. Now the piece does look a bit different but that is normal you can see it changes a little in the video as well don't be alarmed that's perfectly fine. I used my piece right after I had fit it to my teeth. I must say it was great to use that gym day, it made me focus more on my workouts and not on my bite downs to worry about my teeth. I had a better bench press that day! I use it all the time now, whenever I do a weight increase I wear it as I'm a biter and I need my teeth to not grind down. Having this makes me more confident at the gym.There are a lot of nice colors, blue was out of stock when I ordered it so they gave me an estimate of when I would receive it and I was updated when that changed to a sooner date which was great. They kept in great communications and you get a mouth guard case with the mouth piece and a clip, which I use. I clip it to my pocket and keep it at my side for a fast grab.I highly recommend this if you bite down hard and grind your teeth at the gym. This will take the stress away in your mouth and it will help with your focus.

I’m not sure where people are getting their fitting instructions. I followed the online video to the letter and the mouth piece fits just fine for me. It did shrink and warp slightly but the fit is outstanding and aligns with my teeth instantly.Increased strength isn’t really noticeable but then again I’m not competing at the Brian Shaw level. There is definitely something to be said about being able to bite down/not worry about grinding my teeth anymore while I’m lifting. In my opinion, the mouth piece isn’t necessarily made of $40.00 worth of plastic but it’s one of the few mouth guards I’ve seen that allows me to breath heavy through my lifts but still provides enough comfort and protection for my jaw and teeth. The design makes it worth it.I removed a star because the included case was a complete piece of cheap trash. It didn't even last 3 weeks.Follow the online instructional video and it will be fine. Now to see how long it lasts...

definitely see a difference with power.

Can't speak the the effectiveness of the mouthpiece. Molded it which went ok, took it to the gym the next day and it seemed to work ok (definitely not performance enhancing). Put it back in the case that comes with the mouthpiece when I was walking back to my truck unaware that the case was defective won't stay closed. It has fallen into the ether (searched everywhere including returning to the gym to search the parking lot). Over $40.00 for 1 use. I think it's overpriced to begin with and something cheaper and less invasive would be a better option (unless your into triggering your gag reflex everytime you put it in your mouth) but if your like to gamble, whatever you do don't use the case that comes with it!

Loved the mouthpiece but the case closure is faulty on mine. Got to use my mouthpiece for 2 days before it got lost. I made sure to snap tge case shut but mine opened on its own walking out the gym and now my mouthpeice is lost somewhere in the gym. Looking at the case post loss mine just doesnt secure shut very well. Like the plastic is too short? So if youre gunna buy one get a different brand case and youre set.So for now Im out the money with a faulty cause and no mouthpeice.

This product fit right out of the bag. I really like it and wish I had bought it sooner. Being able to bite down allows me to generate more force and strength without grinding my teeth.

Little expensive, however great product.

Great product, works exactly as stated. The benefits at the gym are awesome and I save my teeth from being chipping

三叉神経痛の予防のため、仕事(軽作業)のために買いましたが、なかなか良かったです。

No es la primera vez que me rompo una muela haciendo ejercicios de fuerza máxima, con esto se me acaban los problemas. Además soy capaz de concentrarme más y de tirar más peso no se si será psicológico o quizá sea verdad que puedes concentrar más la fuerza como anuncian.Estoy acostumbrado a llevar bucales, pero este es mucho más cómodo para su cometido ya que te deja respirar perfectamente.Si acaso yo lo haría un poco más fino pero porque el que uso para otros deportes es más fino y estoy acostumbrado a eso.En cualquier caso tiro más peso, no me hago daño en los dientes y me dejan respirar sin ningún tipo de dificultas

Good item... Nice price... 😊 thanks
