What is a Performance-Enhancing Sportsguard?

A performance-enhancing sportsguard is more than just a standard mouthguard. It’s designed to protect your teeth while improving your athletic performance. By aligning your neck, shoulders, and spine, it balances your body, reduces muscle tension, and optimizes power, flexibility, and endurance.

Benefits of a Performance-Enhancing Sportsguard

  • Aligns your jaw for peak performance
  • Enhances power, balance, and range of motion
  • Improves flexibility and oxygen flow
  • Protects your teeth during sports activities

Whether you’re in a contact or non-contact sport, this custom-designed guard helps you perform at your best while keeping your smile safe.

The Process of Designing Your Sportsguard

Creating your custom sportsguard is a precise and personalized process. At Masri Dental, Dr. Almasri will:

  1. Relax your jaw muscles using advanced technology.
  2. Use computer software to determine your optimal jaw alignment.
  3. Take a detailed mold of your bite.
  4. Send the mold to a certified lab for expert construction.

The result is a sportsguard tailored to your unique needs, ensuring both protection and performance enhancement.

The Science Behind Sportsguards

The design of performance-enhancing sportsguards is based on Neuromuscular Dentistry. This approach ensures your jaw is in a relaxed and balanced position, allowing the muscles of your face, jaw, and neck to function efficiently. A properly aligned jaw reduces strain and improves overall athletic performance.
