Stay Safe!
The American Dental Association does not recommend that lacrosse players use a mouth guard from a local drug store, which is why it's important to find sports-specific guards. Properly-fitting mouthguards reduce the risk of oral injuries, and luckily Dick's Sporting Goods separately sells unisex mouthguards and cases to ensure that you're staying safe while playing your heart out. From brands like Shock Doctor, Battle, and Under Armour. These manufacturers design guards specific to lacrosse and most mouthguards do not require boiling.
