They ask you to write down a website where your graphic is located, or you can send a picture of the graphic when you mail back your mold. Click on the link and click on the Elite - that's what it looks like when you receive it (the skull and crossbones one.) Mine has Gladiator somewhere on the side (you can just barely see the outline of it when you click the Pro link - the top guard has it on the right side). So basically whatever you send them is what goes on it, but keep in mind how big it is.

The paper they send with you also asks if you want a nickname on the side of the guard as well.

they don't really have any competition. They are significantly larger and most likely make more guards in a day than the other companies make in a month. I see stuff like this about them all the time.

I went to their Phila facility and had the impressions done there (I live right over the bridge in NJ). Its definitely not a one-man operation. I would say closer to 15 employees.

They send you a kit in the mail. You take your custom impressions and send them back to make the guard from. Customguards.com: How To Use Your Gladiator Impression System

I think I'm going to go for one of these. Fightdentist.com is ridiculously expensive for the same type of product.

I wouldn't ask which is the cheapest, I'd ask which is the best! It's your teeth man! That being said, I went with Pythonguards.com and I thought Scott was amazing. I'm sure his price is under $100, but he does great work and offers great service.

Guard ya grill makes a very large percentage of UFC and top tier mouth guards usually costs $300+. Jawz and fight dentist went into business together and make a really good mouth guard usually around $200 very good quality, out of florida i believe. Stars guards out of houston $140 or so is pretty good, and they send you the impression kit, make the guard and send you pics before you pay so you can veto if you don't like the quality. They have a lot of trust in their product for good reason they are very good. python $120 or so, im not sure where they arelocated. Gladiator, lower quality but good customer service $50 for bottom of the line $120 for mma quality. I actually just ordered a guard from jared at grill guards. it cost me $99 plus shipping and handling. The customer service was top notch ill write a review and post pics when I get mine.

your review is way off the mark all of these companies use the exact same type of material and type of equipment to make the guards. They all protect the same, some however put more time and effort into the logos and art work, which they expect to be paid for. The 300 guard is no more protective than the 50 guard. These are facts not an opinion. stick to reviewing things you understand.
