Use your head – Save your teeth!

September 13th, 2009

The other day I Fox 2 News called and wanted to do a news segment on our mouth guards. Needless to say it was both exciting and flattering. We got to show the many advantages with the Protech Dent™ Mouth Guard. For instance, we showed them how easy it is to custom fit in a minute or so. Furthermore, how easy it is to speak and talk while wearing it. This is a very important factor if you are an athlete and need to be able to communicate on the field. And we let them know that our clinical tests show that Protech Dent™ Mouth Guard is 30% safer than conventional mouth guard.

If I was in the market for the best protection for my teeth, that would pretty much do it right there. But I didn’t mention that the material is 100% biodegradable and biocompatible. In other words both mother nature and your own body can deal with the material just fine. So, use your head and save your teeth. And check out the link to the news story.

Do soft mouth guard protect the teeth? Not likely!

June 24th, 2009

The assumption that using a soft mouth guard will cushion the teeth and protect them from damage at impact has not been proven scientifically. Sure, it may feel like your teeth are protected, but really they’re not.  Instead it is much more important to transfer the impact to the teeth ALONG the mouthpiece. A soft material can’t do that. However, a hard material with the right components can absolutely do that. We have worked very hard at not only developing the right material, but also on how to absorb the impact across the mouthguard with the help of perforations.  It really is quite ingenious and simple at the same time. The perforations vibrates at impact and absorbs the shock, which saves your teeth. Our thorough clinical studies proves this. And you can check this out too.
