MOUTHGUARD
WHY WEAR A MOUTHGUARD?
Did you know that each year, over 5 million teeth are knocked out during sports activities, and every
athlete has a 35-56% chance of sustaining orofacial injury over the course of their career. Athletes
who wear mouthguards avoid severe orofacial injuries, prevent natural jaw clenching, and can cause
neck muscles to flex, making the head more stable.
