WHY YOU SHOULDĀ STOPĀ USING CHEAP OVER THE COUNTER BOIL
AND BITE MOUTHGUARDS
āŖ¼ Inadequate thickness of material
When you mold a boil and bite guard, you are unintentionally thinning out the material at the biting surfaces of your teeth. This is exactly where you need the thickest amount of material possible. The result is that you arenāt getting nearly enough padding between the upper and lower teeth which not only puts you are risk for tooth damage, but allows for larger forces to be applied directly from your TMJ, to the skull, and to the brain.Ā
āŖ¼ Poor retention
Over the counter guards are only molded around your teeth and do not take the rest of your oral anatomy into consideration. This leads to having to clench your teeth together to keep the guard in place, which can distract you from your athletic performance, as well as make it difficult to breath. For this reason we often see them dislodge when breathing through the mouth or when taking a blow in combat sports.Ā
āŖ¼ Degradation over time
OTC guards quickly fail and loosen up over repeated use. IDD guards are meant to withstand increased pressure and wear and will often last several seasons or years.

WHY A DENTIST SHOULD DESIGN YOUR MOUTHGUARD
We take the functional anatomy of the TMJ joint into consideration with every design.
Creating an ideal separation between the posterior teeth moves the mandibular condyle out of the glenoid fossa in your skull. That increased distance decreases the force of impact on your skull which can reduce the incidence of traumatic brain injury. To give a reference, an ideal separation is between 4 and 6 mm. Most boil and bite mouthguards have a separation of less than 2mm.Ā Ā
By incorporating your occlusion (the way your upper and lower teeth fit together) into your custom guard, we can get added stabilization of the head by head and neck muscles. Due to the thickness and elasticity of the material, athletes can safely clench down on them during competition.
This clenching activates various head and neck muscles which stabilized the head. Concussion specialist Dr.Karen Johnston states that, āthe force require to concuss a fixed head is almost twice that of a mobile head.āĀ
Further studies show that intracranial pressure is more than halved when an athletes clenches down on a mouth guard during traumatic events.Ā
WHY A UFC FIGHTER SHOULD DESIGN YOURĀ MOUTHGUARD
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING ONLY THEĀ HIGHEST QUALITY MATERIALS?
Our guards are molded over concentrated heat and pressure insuring a uniform thickness of material throughout the entire guard. Why is this important? By having a uniform thickness of material, a force applied to the head or neck is applied evenly throughout the entire guard which helps dissipate the force of the blow and minimize damage. This also means that our guards will last several times longer than our competitors.Ā
