I don't want to pay £50 for a customised mouth guard (through an organisation doing fittings at the schoolschool). What cheaper options are there? It's for rugby.

get the cheap ones until all the adult teeth are in place. we seem to be replacing ds's (9) every week at the moment as new teeth keep appearing.

DSs Rugby coach sells the boil ones for £2 each (he gets them in bags of 100)
we have them dotted all over the house
they take just minutes to fit

or get a couple of these

The Shock Doc ones are pretty good, they are boil and fit, cost about £15.

You can pay £5 for a ready-made one that won't fit.

You can pay £15 for a boil and fit one that will sort of fit.

You can try to find an NHS dentist that provides a fitted one for free, with the long-term view that prevention is less expensive than treating maxillofacial injury.
