"After receiving my custom mouth guard from Guard Ya Grill, I decided to put it in full effect at NAGA (North American Grappling Association) Las Vegas.  Still skeptical of wearing mouth guards during competition, I wore the piece anyway. Now I will always wear it after my experience no matter what.  During one of my matches I took an accidental knee which would have probably knocked someone’s teeth out or worse, but it hit the top of my mouth guard absorbing the shock and only resulting in a small daze.  I was still amazed and so was my opponent after I submitted him with an arm lock.  These grillz do not interfere with your breathing during fights or training and are custom fitted to your mouth. I will always wear my grill from now on."

"When I first started jiu jitsu, I used those cheap boil-and-bite mouthguards. They were rough on the sides, didn’t fit my teeth well, would come loose during practice, and obstruct my breathing. I started thinking mouthguards were a waste of time, and that living with a few extra cuts was better than dealing with the hassle. I even competed without one, and ended up splitting my lip open. Fortunately, a teammate convinced me to try Guard Ya Grill, and my new mouthguard is great – it fits perfectly and comfortably, and doesn’t get knocked loose. Sorry to say, it was lost from my luggage when I came back from competition overseas, so I’m having two new ones made – just in case!"

"I can't say enough good things about my mouthguard from Dental Guardz. It is incredibly comfortable and I'm able to talk with it in and drink from a sports bottle with no issues. Not only was it custom fit for my mouth but it was custom designed for me. I worked closely with Ryan on not only picking out the color scheme but also getting designs imprinted onto the mouthguard that reflect who I am and what I love to do. The whole process of getting fit for and designing the mouthguard was a lot of fun too!

Most importantly, when I've been hit in the head or mouth in class I am confident that my mouthguard has protected me from any pain or discomfort that I might have experienced otherwise. I strongly urge everyone to get a dentalguardz if they are involved in any type of self defense, martial arts, or contact sports. I wear mine with confidence and pride and thank Ryan for doing such a fantastic job."

"The night I got a chance to fight with Joe Rogan, who has some bad ass ground skills, and is strong as an ox. There is a video of Joe and me fighting on my MySpace at: www.myspace.com/startboxing. In the video you can see we start to get pretty aggressive toward the end, during which time I took one of the meanest elbows of my life (kinda cool it was from Joe), which hit me square in the front of my mouth while I had my mouth open. I am almost positive I’d have lost or incurred severe nerve damage to my upper teeth if I would have not been wearing my Dental Guardz “Guard Ya Grill”. Unfortunately, I got caught up in all the excitement of being at Legend’s gym in Hollywood, CA and training with Eddie Bravo and Joe Rogan, that I misplaced my Grill. My new one will be bright pink, so now everyone knows, if you find a large pink Grill dental guard (mouth piece), it belongs to me; furthermore, reward if found!"

I purchased a Guard Ya Grill mouth guard for my son. Because of his active life doing Jui Jitsu, Muay Thai, and playing baseball I was concerned about protecting him. I had heard through the training center he attends about Guard Ya Grill and decided to give it a try. It wasn’t long before I realized how well my money was spent. While playing baseball a ball bounced off the ground and hit my son at full speed straight in the mouth. There was a lot of bruising but no tooth damage. I attribute the safety of my son’s smile to his mouth guard.

"Mi nombre es Guillermo Santillan y el nombre de mi hijo es Giovanni Santillan la razon por que escribo esto es por que nos recomendaron la clinica Dr. Gracia T. Lumang Family Denistry.  Cuando llegamos ahi el tecnico Ryan Salazar fue el que nos atendio. El mismo tomo las muestras, al terminar el trabajo nosotros trajimos el otro protector y lo comparamos con el nuevo. Vimos que cuando el tecnico puso el protector en la muestra anterior habia bastantes huecos en la muestra. En la muestra y el protector nuevo cuando los comparo no habia ninguno. Esa es la diferencia del protector viejo y el nuevo.  Con el viejo pudo ser lastimado por que su boca no estaba totalmente cerrada y con el nuevo tiene mas proteccion.  Estamos muy agradecidos con el trabajo del tecnico Ryan Salazar. Gracias

Note:  Esto no es publicidad es solamente un testimonio para que la gente hispana le tenga confianza al tecnico Ryan gracias."

"I came to Guard Ya Grill after a training accident chipped a large chunk off of my front right tooth.
I was lucky to have a great dentist to fix it and wanted to find the best mouthguard to protect my teeth from then on...but it wasn't going to be easy!
My lower jaw is large and has caused me to have a underbite all my life, making all my previous mouthguards uncomfortable, ineffective, and discouraging to wear.
After researching all the other mouthguards on the market I settled on the only truly PROFESSIONAL CUSTOM mouthguard on the market: Guard Ya Grill!

From my first contact with the Guard Ya Grill staff I knew I had made the best decision to protect my teeth.
The Guard Ya Grill's personalized craftsmanship, variety of styles & features, use of the finest materials, and their attention to customer-satisfying detail in every aspect of their production and customer service made me feel comfortable and confident in my purchase of the most important training tool I wear!

Thank you Guard Ya Grill for providing the Martial Arts Community and all other active individuals with a product that we can be proud and motivated to wear while protecting our teeth and health."

"Well, I do believe I got the full value out of my DentalGuardz during Monday's Krav Maga class. Unlike most classes, this one had a lot of grappling - basically wrestling. As a woman, upper body strength is never going to be my thing, so I usually avoid wrestling at all costs. Needless to say, the class was a bit of a challenge.

The highlights included being rolled over one guy and slammed headfirst into the floor. The top of my head is apparently harder than I thought it was, and thanks to my mouthguard, I didn't crack any molars when my jaw slammed shut. I also had another massive guy try to put me into a headlock more than once. He left with teeth marks all over his arms as his reminders why you should be sure that's a neck, not a set of teeth, you're wrapping your arm around before you try for a headlock. I left with a full set of pearly whites.

Thanks again!"

"I had used several commercial dental guards by the time I met Ryan with DentalGuardz. After using my custom dental guard Ryan created for me I realized that much of my energy had previously been directed toward concerns of dental injury. Now I can focus 100% on training and feel completely confident. Ryan’s dental guards are always a topic of conversation before and after class. Much of the talk is about how fun it is to create a custom piece, knowing it will also be the best quality available. If you’re serious about what you do, you need serious protection."

"If you want the best guard available, you need Guard Ya Grill.  I've tried many other guards and the Guard Ya Grill is extremely comfortable and offers superior protection.  It doesn't feel bulky, fits perfect, and allows you to easily talk without removal.  In addition, the Guard Ya Grill representatives were extremely helpful in answering all of my questions.  I'll never use another brand of guard."

"There are so many things to thank you for. First off, I love my mouthguard- it feels so good in my mouth! It’s unbelievable! I can even talk and communicate to my teammates with it in.

I also want to thank you for just being an awesome person. It is refreshing to meet people like you in life, doing what you want to do. Thanks again!"

“GUARD YA GRILL is the best and only professional mouth guard out there!! I know this from experience, I have had my grill for a year and have had my nose completely rearranged and still managed to get the takedown and a full mount. I did not even know anything had happened to my nose because my mouth guard absorbed the impact! So take it from me when I say be sure to GUARDYAGRILL!!!!!”

"I am VERY impressed with the mouthguard. GuardYaGrill definitely put out a quality product. The piece feels like it’s a part of your mouth and does not hinder breathing at all. I can talk, drink and not worry about choking on the piece while I'm grappling or skating. The comfort is unbelievable and I will NOT go back to boil and bite mouthguards ever. In my opinion GuardYaGrill Mouthguards are like works of art. The colors on the mouthguard look great and they got the logo I chose to fit perfectly on the piece. It was definitely worth the money! Keep up the great work!"

"Thanks for making it down to the fights! Nez and I really appreciate the support. A lot of people commented on how much they liked my mouthguard. It felt great! But then again, my opponent didn't really get much of a chance to test it out! LOL It let me speak clearly enough to be admonished by the ref for talking to my opponent and to give the people next to the cage of good laugh.

The Urban Warrior only steps into the cage protected by GuardYaGrill!!!!"

I went mouth-first into the kick-rail at the banked track bout in LA last night...Came away with a fat lip, sore nose and ALL my teeth intact, thanks to my mouthguard. You rule!

“I have had custom guards done by the local dentist and they don’t seem to last. Some students at the academy have used Gladiator, Opro and Playsafe. Either physically or cosmetically they seem subpart in comparison. My molars end up destroying the back end of the mouthguard within a couple of months and at 40 to 60 bucks it’s a hard hit. I visited Ryan at Dental Guardz after this year 2007 Mundial. I was impressed at the attention to detail that he took in making my grill. He took his time with the visual inspection of my teeth and took the three molds in order to get the custom fit. At my local dentist they only took one mold. The protection to the lower jaw is definitely noticeable. Four months later I’m still using my guard with no complaints whatsoever.

You guys are the best and The Only full custom mouthguard on the market. Service and product is heads above.”

"I have had a number of mouth guards over my career as a fighter. I feel a mouth guard is the single most important piece of protective equipment someone can own, if they are participating in any type of martial arts, grappling or combat sport. In training for my first professional fight I wore a typical boil and bite mouth guard. It was a horrible experience both in training and in competition. I only wore it when I absolutely thought I had too and as a result suffered chipped teeth and sore jaws early in my career. I eventually ditched the boil and bite mouth guards for other custom fit dental mouth
guards. They were good and were not too uncomfortable, but I did not feel as though the protection they offered was adequate.

When I signed with Pride Fighting Championship, I knew I needed to invest in a mouth guard that offered the utmost level of protection. Guard Ya’ Grill mouth guards have been the best mouth guards I have ever owned. The dental professionals at Guard Ya’ Grill took three different molds of my mouth, so the resulting mouth guard, fit like a glove. When I am teaching my Jiu Jitsu and MMA classes I often times leave my mouth guard in because it hardly impedes my speech. I have even a couple times sat down in my car to go home before realizing I still had my mouth guard in. Guard Ya’ Grill mouth guards also offer the best protection I have ever had from a mouth guard. In MMA and grappling you take some pretty hard shots, some accidental, some on purpose. Since I began wearing a Guard Ya’ Grill mouth guard, I have never felt more protected. It is molded for both my top and bottom teeth so my jaw feels secure and is locked in place. It is the first guard I have had that I feel not only protects against dental trauma, but also protects against getting knocked out. After wearing a Guard Ya’ Grill mouth piece nothing else compares!"

"As a Roller derby skater, it is very important to me that I keep the teeth I have in my head where they belong, so I always wear a mouth-guard.  Recently, I lost my mouth-guard that a dental asst. made for me at my dentists office.  Even though it cost me a pretty penny, my absent mindedness turned out to be a blessing in disguise!  The mouth-guard that Ryan at "Guard ya grill" made me is much more comfortable and better looking! It is way easier to talk and drink water than it was with the old one.  It stays put and doesn't move around and annoy me like my old one.  Now I can concentrate on the Jam!  I feel much safer with the new "guard ya grill" mouth-guard, and people, it seriously put the old one to shame! I would highly recommended a custom made "guard ya grill" mouth-guard to any athlete!"
