What is the difference between Opro Bronze, Silver and Gold mouthguards?

The three tiers differ primarily in the amount of material used and the precision of the fit you can achieve when moulding. The Bronze is Opro's entry point - a straightforward boil-and-bite guard that fits quickly and does the job for training and junior match play. It's a sensible starting point for younger players or those new to the game. The Silver adds more EVA material and a slightly more involved moulding process, giving a closer fit and a higher level of impact protection than the Bronze. It's a popular choice for junior players who play regularly and want something more secure. The Gold steps up again in both material thickness and fit precision. The moulding process produces a tighter, more stable guard that stays in place better during contact. It's the tier most club players settle on for regular match play across all positions.

Can you wear an Opro mouthguard with braces?

Opro produce specific mouthguards designed to be worn with fixed braces. These are made from softer material to accommodate the brackets and wires without damaging them. It's worth checking the individual product page to confirm brace compatibility before buying, as not all models in the range are suitable.

What size Opro mouthguard do I need for a child?

Opro produce junior and adult sizes across their range. Junior guards are suitable for most children up to 10 years old, though this can vary depending on whether adult teeth have come through. The individual product listings confirm which sizes are available and include guidance on age suitability.

Are Opro mouthguards suitable for rugby?

Yes. Opro are one of the most widely used mouthguard brands in rugby at all levels, from grassroots juniors through to professional clubs. Their guards are used across multiple contact sports but are well established as a standard choice in rugby specifically.

Available in a range of colours including national team designs for England and Wales, the Silver is a solid all-round choice for regular club players who want reliable protection without moving up to a custom-fit option.

Opro Gold and Custom-Fit Mouthguards
