I've been wearing a visor for the last 10 years or so. Had a few close calls, mainly errant sticks that gave me a nice cut or bruise on my mouth/chin. But playing D for two leagues, I found myself getting hesitant to get in shooting lanes or to go hard into corners. So I put on a cage. Thankfully I did... in the last game alone, I took three wild sticks to the cage. One was so hard that it actually hurt my teeth from them clinking together. Can't imagine how it would have felt if the the cage wasn't there.
Funny thing is, I put my visor back on in the morning, because my cage kept bumping into my new Nexus shoulder pads when I'd look over my shoulder. I was feeling a bit apprehensive, so I googled "cage or visor" and this thread popped up. This afternoon I put back on my cage.
The visor looks way cooler, and I have some better visibility, but I also like my teeth.
