Once we open our new practice (Fountains Dental Excellence!) on November 6th, we'll be very eager to show it off.
We're hard-wired to clench our jaws (and temporomandibular joint) under pressure, which releases "flight or fight" hormones that create stress, fatigue, and distraction. This mouthguard prevents clenching, which helps prevent those byproducts. To get these increased benefits, the patient in question has to be custom fitted for the mouthguard.
Here's what Underarmour adds:
Weightlifting strength increases by up to 17%
25% less lactic acid buildup (increases endurance)
Reduces stress, impact of blows to the head, and speeds up reaction time
There's a brochure (PDF) from their website that explains more. We look forward to sharing the results that our first patients at our new practice have with this great technology!
