Baller ScarletArrow Posted July 24, 2018 Baller Share Posted July 24, 2018 I've heard of jumpers chipping a tooth from falling during a jump and have taken to wearing a mouth guard. Is this common? I don't know of anyone in our tournaments who uses one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted July 24, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted July 24, 2018 I’ve only seen a handful of the big boys use mouth guards, very few short of the 200’ club use one. If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Chef23 Posted July 24, 2018 Baller Share Posted July 24, 2018 My son never did but I don't see a down side to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jimski Posted July 24, 2018 Baller Share Posted July 24, 2018 I do myself And I suggest to every jumper I take out to where one Especially the young kids with 7k worth of braces on there teeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Nando Posted July 24, 2018 Baller Share Posted July 24, 2018 I wore one after getting a ski under the jaw in a crash. My dentist at the time (also a jumper) said he was afraid of swallowing one but we decided that the solution to that was just to use one with a the chin strap- what's the downside?

j2nh Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I used to, so did my daughter. Wife is a dentist and insisted. It really is a good idea with few, if any, downsides. Teeth are expensive to fix not to mention the soft tissue damage they can cause in the mouth with a hard fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted July 25, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted July 25, 2018 I do, and I’m a tad short of 200. A big tad. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted July 25, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted July 25, 2018 I stand corrected! I agree its a good idea with no downside. Just my observation that not many jumpers use one. If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Broussard Posted July 25, 2018 Baller Share Posted July 25, 2018 I started using one when I got braces, but stopped as soon as I got them off. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
