Under Armour Mouthguards

Science is playing a big role in becoming a better athlete. The new Under Armour Mouthguards are custom mouth pieces that can increase performance. This is done by reducing the pressure on your TMJ joint and decreasing the release of a cascade of hormones. Normally when we are competing in sporting events we are "hard-wired" to clench, with UA performance mouthwear we can now increase strength, increase endurance, speed up reaction time, and reduce stress. Dr. Rodriguez is an authorized Under Armour Provider and will help you in reaching further as an athlete.

Sports related injuries to the mouth and jaw are some of the most common injuries received by athletes. Our goal is to help minimize your chances of a sports related injury to your smile. Be sure to ask Dr. Rodriguez about mouthguards at your next dental checkup.

Taking care of your mouthguard

Similar to a retainer, braces, or any other special dental appliance, it is important to take care of your mouthguard by storing it properly and keeping it clean; as well as, knowing when to replace your old mouthguard with a new one. Here are a few simple ways to keep your mouthguard clean and working correctly:

• Gently scrub your mouthguard after each use with a toothbrush and toothpaste.
• Store your mouthguard in a protective case.
• Do not leave your mouthguard in the sun or in hot water, it may melt or become deformed.
• Replace your mouthguard at the beginning of every new sports season. You should also replace your mouthguard if you notice it has become worn and not longer fits properly.
• Do not wear a retainer with your mouthguard. If you wear braces, your dentist will help design a mouthguard to protect your teeth and your braces.
• Do no chew on, or cut pieces off, your mouthguard. Mouthguards come in different shapes and sizes, ask your dentist which is best for you.
• Bring your mouthguard to each dental checkup, and your dentist can check to make sure it's still in good shape!
