PlaySafe® Mouthguard

Product catalog summary

Overview of Sports Mouthguards:
Sports mouthguards are essential for preventing oral injuries during athletic activities. The document highlights the importance of custom-fabricated mouthguards over stock or boil-and-bite options, emphasizing their superior fit, comfort, and protection.

Types of PlaySafe Mouthguards:

Junior: Designed for children with mixed dentition, featuring one layer of EVA material (3 mm) with added protection.
Medium: Two layers of laminated EVA (5 mm), suitable for sports like soccer, rugby, and basketball.
Heavy Pro: Three layers of laminated EVA (5 mm) with a hardened layer, ideal for heavy contact sports such as hockey and kickboxing.
Heavy: Two layers of laminated EVA (5 mm) with power dispersion bands, designed for baseball, football, and martial arts.
Light: Two layers of laminated EVA (3 mm), for sports like wrestling and volleyball, available in specific colors.
Light Pro: Three layers of laminated EVA (3.5 mm) with a hardened layer, offering maximum comfort and protection.

Benefits of Custom Fabricated Mouthguards:
Custom mouthguards significantly reduce the risk of dental injuries, as evidenced by studies showing lower injury rates in sports where mouthguards are mandatory. They provide better fit and protection compared to boil-and-bite options, which can be uncomfortable and less effective.

Cost Implications:
The document outlines the cost-effectiveness of custom mouthguards, noting that the cost of oral rehabilitation for sports injuries can be more than 20 times the preventative cost of a custom mouthguard.

Conclusion:
Custom-made sports mouthguards, such as PlaySafe, offer superior protection and comfort, making them a valuable investment for athletes to prevent costly and painful oral injuries.

While this is an impressive preventative figure, it is estimated by the National Youth Sports Foundation that more than 5 million teeth will be knocked out in sporting activities this year.
