    I think that when I play it would get annoying but I wouldn't want to gat my teeth knocked out by an elbow to the face. It all depends on which one will bother you more.

    yes, if u tend to get hit in the mouth alot nd also if ur a power forward or a center. the only drawback is that ur teammates will most likely not b able to understand u.

    That's really more of a personal choice, true it is safer and I've hurd of people losing teeth(landry 4 the rockets is a perfect example) I tried it both ways and dicide it was to big of a distraction and made it harder to comunicate on D. My suggestion is to try both then make ur own choice on weighed or not to use 1

    yes you should. because a lot of girls get knocked in the mouth so if you like you teeth and don't want a busted lip you should wear a mouth piece.
