High Quality Mouthguards Reduce Injury
By wearing a durable protective mouthguard, patients can reduce the likelihood of a concussion from impact to the jaw.
A custom vacuum formed mouthguard offers good protection while minimizing the effects on speaking and breathing. They are created from a single sheet of EVA polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene copolymer. The EVA sheet is heated, placed over the stone model, and suctioned by vacuum to fit to the shape of that patient’s mouth and teeth.
Custom pressure-laminated mouthguards help facilitate more effective communication. Like custom vacuum mouthguards, they present minimal Interference with breathing and show less wear in chewing and biting. They see more use by participants because of their higher comfort compared to other appliances. The laminating machines have high pressure, which is evenly distributed. This helps enable thickness of the guard material. Since pressure is even throughout, it allows for a uniform thickness of guard material. Pressure-laminated mouthguards are substantially superior to all other types.
