Answer #1

yea you can. it’s actually a very good idea because you don’t want to break something in your mouth and a mouthgaurd helps you avoid hat. I would know. I didn’t have a mouthgaurd on in soccer once and I got hit in the mouth and my gums and cheek got stuck up in my braces. it hurt.

Answer #2

if you want to do competition karate you have to wear a mouthguard or else you wont be able to compete. I am in the australian team for karate and so is my friend and she has braces and wears a mouthguard. I also have lots of friends that are on the state karate team and they have braces and wear mouthguards. just go to the dentist and get one.

Answer #3

Yeah, that random person at the grading said so. (So it has to be true).

Answer #4

Yeah, I had braces last year while playing hocky and I had a mouthguard on.

Answer #5

My friends have braces and play field hockey, and the orthodontist gave them their mouthguards. I don’t know if it’s different for Karate though.

Answer #6

Is it possible to get them not from the orthodontist? because They usually charge heaps.
