Junior gum shield

Hi. My 11 year old son needs a gum shield for rugby. Any recommendations. Tried 2 boil and mould but they not fitting properly. Remember the day when a gum shield went in your mouth and that was it. Any help would be appreciated.

    I coach my daughter's U12 rugby team and always recommend the Opro ones, in particular the ones with a cage to help them fit. It's makes it much easier to get the fit right. Shock Doctor ones aren't too bad either

    This one is pretty good:

    You can get them cheaper from Sports Direct though - I think they're £9 each. Once their adult teeth are all though then get one made at the dentist - they're a lot better
