Boxing — is an injury-prone sport, which is why you should only wear a special sports mouth guard when wearing braces.

The sports mouth guard is made of thermoplastic silicone. To protect the teeth with braces, it needs to be heated in hot water, then put on, close the teeth with braces and cool down. The mouth guard then retains a mold of the braces and can be used for practice.
