A custom-fitted mouth guard does more than protect the teeth and gums. It protects the brain from injury as well. When a mouth guard of sufficient thickness is in place during a blow to the chin, it absorbs the shock that would normally be transferred from the lower jaw to the base of the skull, decreasing the potential for concussion.

An athlete is 60 times more likely to sustain damage to the teeth when not wearing a protective mouth guard. More than five million teeth are knocked out each year across the nation. Ninety-five percent of all football concussions are transmitted through the mandible to the brain.

Because it has excellent retention, fit and sufficient thickness in critical areas, a custom-fitted mouth guard does not interfere with speaking and breathing. It is protective, comfortable, resilient, tear resistant, odorless, tasteless and is not bulky.
