How Under Armour Mothguards Can Save Teeth

What's a proven way to protect teeth and increase performance during sporting activities? Kent B. Molino DDS and Todd L. Vaccaro DDS recommend ingenious Under Armour Performance Mouthwear. Custom-made from light, flexible and durable plastic in the dental lab and expertly fitted in the dental office, Under Armour mouthguards can save professional and amateur athletes from:

• fractures, chips and evulsion (knocked out tooth)
• excessive teeth clenching and wear
• concussions from hits to the lower jaw
• oral soft tissue lacerations, particularly those associated with wires and bracket braces
• damage to orthodontic wires and brackets

Only One Set of Teeth

The American Dental Association says that annually two million teeth are knocked out of the mouths of children, teens and adults in the United States alone. Additionally, the ADA states that 200,000 dental injuries could be avoided each year with the use of a mouthguard.

Once a tooth is knocked out, chipped or fractured, it's never quite the same again despite the best dental restorations. Plus, the expense and time involved in:

• getting evulsed teeth re-implanted,
• re-positioning and splinting injured teeth
• cosmetic bonding, veneers or crowns placed for fractures and chips
• root canal therapy for damaged inner pulp

As such, anyone involved in full, limited or non-contact sports should invest in a quality mouth guard such as Under Armour Performance Mouthwear.

Increased Performance

Under Armour Mouthguards ease the clenching forces present during physical activity. Cortisol is the natural hormone which increases during stress and exertion. Less jaw clenching means less cortisol and less fatigue. Also, these innovative mouth guards are flexible and light, promoting natural speaking and breathing during wear.
