I too am looking at getting a new mouthguard.
Currently using Shock Doctor Gel Max which is OK, but hoping for something a little more compact.
Considering going with a GameDay Extreme mouthguard that are custom moulded via post in Australia.

Not real cheap, and may be approaching the cost of a dentist made custom mouthgouard?
Read this about Sisu during my search, which makes me doubt they are ideal for boxing/Muay Thai etc :-
Anybody get hit while wearing these during boxing?Do they absorb impact well?
Answer:
I have. They do not work well for boxing. There are two major issues. First is that they don't absorb impact very well, not much to bite down on and second is all the holes in them cut up the insides of my lips. Even a jab from a 120-130 lbs were causing cuts. I've tried a few other mouthguards since (only one I remember is the Venum one) and can say with the utmost confidence to get a custom fit one (impact/gladiator). They make a world of difference. They stay in and its so much easier to breathe. Yes, it does cost a bit more but I feel it's the single piece of equipment that has the biggest effect on performance.
I've been looking at Gameday seeing as I'm also in Australia but honestly I'm not sold on their performance yet.
