PLAYSAFE Sports Mouthguards

According to the American Dental Association,more than 200,000 oral injuries are prevented annually in the United States by sports mouthguards.While this is an impressive figure,it is estimated by the National Youth Sports Foundation that more than 5 million teeth are lost in sporting activities every year in the United States.

Comparing dentist fabricated,custom sports mouthguards with boil and bite type mouthguards reveals significant differences.Boil and bite type mouthguards do not fit as accurately as custom fabricated types so they often are uncomfirtable and frequently interfers with the athletes breathing and speaking.At the first International Symposium on Dental Biomaterials Dr J.Park,PHD reported that boil and bite mouthguards provide a false sense of protection due to the dramatic decrease in thickness when the athlete bites it into place during its softened state.

PLAYSAFE custom laminated mouthguards are micron accurate and can provide 10 times more protection than boil and bite mouthguards.

Playsafe are the worldwide leader in custom fabricated sports mouthguards.Invented in 1982 in England PLAYSAFE has become the top choice in custom fabricated mouthguards for athletes in Europe,Australia and the United States.In 1985 PLAYSAFE were teseted and recommended for endorsement by the Australian Institute of Sport.Additionally in 1994 Professor Robert Burford in the Department of Polymer Science at the University of New South Wales found the breaking stress of the PLAYSAFE mouthguard was 9.5 Mpa (Megapascals),which exceeded the values of all other custom mouthguards tested.
