I am truely saddened at the split you two are going through, but please leave it in private. The mouthguard industry has for years been dominated by boil and bite mouthguards, I understand that in any break-up there are bad feelings, but we all preach the same information we are 1000% more protective than any boil and bite on the market. Understand who is really your competition gladiator,biteme, protech, no!! crap boil and bites that are no more protective than "a sock as a cup" thanks Tom great quote.I will do my best to support both companies as they both will bring you mouthguards that are light years ahead of what you get in your sporting goods store or even an opro. Please stick to the greatness of our products and forget the personal stuff, and Joe remember who your competition is not Tom,or me, but opro, shock dr. wipps and others who pretend to offer the quality that we do!! :icon_idea
