Mouth guards are essential for athletes, especially those involved in contact sports. Mouth guards help protect the teeth and tongue from injury, and can even prevent tooth loss.
A new generation of mouth guards provides even more advantages for the professional or amateur athlete. Under Arm our Performance Mouth wear is one of these new types of mouth wear, which is becoming standard issue for many professional athletes.
These custom-made mouth guards not only provide protection, but also help keep the jaw in proper alignment. This helps athletic performance in several ways, including:
- Keeps the air channel open for optimal breathing
- Prevents teeth clenching or grinding
- Keeps the temporomandibular joint properly aligned
- Reduces stress in the mouth and jaw
- Under Arm our Performance Mouth wear is custom-made to fit your mouth exactly and to keep your jaw aligned. Your dentist makes impressions of your teeth and also analyzes your bite. This information is then used to create your one-of-a-kind mouth guard, constructed to fit your mouth and optimize your bite, TMJ alignment and breathing.
Maintaining this proper bite prevents stress in the mouth, which can lead to the production of stress hormones. By alleviating this stress, the mouth guard allows you to perform at your best. It also allows you to breathe freely and to play without fear of damaging your mouth and teeth during regular contact.
After about a year of use, your Under Arm our Mouth wear should be evaluated for continued fit and usability to ensure you will continue to receive the benefits of the mouth guard in the new season of play.
