Women’s lacrosse requires a mouthguard, but it does not require a gender-specific mouthguard. The right one is a secure upper-arch fit that lets the player breathe and communicate, and it must meet the team, league or school rules. USA Lacrosse recommends a guard fitted to the athlete’s oral structures; players with braces should use a braces-specific design or follow their orthodontist’s direction.

Buying tips
- Mold the guard exactly as its maker directs, then test that it stays on the upper teeth without being clenched.
- Ask the coach before buying a tethered style; school and league rules can differ.
- Replace a guard that is chewed through, torn, badly distorted or no longer fits after dental work.
