3 Reasons To Celebrate Your Custom Mouthguard This Holiday Season

It’s the holiday season! And that means holiday spirit is in the air.

From decorating your house and making holiday-shaped cookies, to wearing comfortable clothing and spending time with your loved ones, the holiday season is full of cheer. And one thing you should certainly be cheerful about is your custom mouthguard. Seriously!

Let’s take a look at three reasons why your custom mouthguard is something to celebrate during the holidays:

1. Decorations That Speak To You

When decorating for the holidays, are you content with placing just any generic ornament on your tree or just any decoration around your house? Of course not!

Your ornaments represent you and the things that you find important — and so should your mouthguard! Have a favorite color, pattern, number or logo? It’s possible to feature any or all of them on your custom mouthguard.

Like ornaments, generically-made boil-and-bite mouthguards come in a variety of different colors. Unlike ornaments, generically-made boil-and-bite mouthguards don’t allow for any further personalization. Only custom mouthguards give you the ability to display your personal identity on your team gear.

And just like the tradition of waiting to put your lucky ornament on your tree last, your custom mouthguard instantly becomes that last piece of decoration before you leave the locker room and head out to the field, court or ice.

2. Comfy, Cozy

One of the best things about the holidays is hanging out at home in comfy clothes, on comfortable couches, with the people your most relaxed with. Comfort is king around the holidays … but also on game day.

When a mouthguard doesn’t fit properly, it is simply uncomfortable. That’s why so many athletes dislike wearing mouthguards. Like an annoying tag on an ugly holiday sweater, uncomfortable mouthguards are distracting and constantly need to be readjusted, which may take your head out of the game.

Boil-and-bite mouthguards are made to fit everyone, not just you. But every mouth is different, and your mouthguard needs to fit the exact structure of your mouth in order for you to get the proper protection and comfort. That’s why custom mouthguards aren’t just the most protective mouthguards, but the most comfortable as well.

Just like the feeling you get from a mug of hot cocoa on a holiday morning.

3. No Cookie Cutter Designs

Cookie cutter designs are great for holiday cookies — from Christmas trees to Hanukah menorahs — but they’re terrible for mouthguards. Again, that’s because everyone’s mouth is different and the cookie cutter design of boil-and-bites doesn’t serve all athletes.

Similar to your fingerprints, your mouth is unique to you, and that means it’s essential you get a mouthguard that’s been designed taking into account your exact individual mouth structure. A proper fitting mouthguard must have a tight enough fit to firmly stay on your upper teeth without being held in place with the lower jaw. That means no biting or clenching.

When a mouthguard fits snuggly, it stays in place during any impact and won’t become dislodged. It should never be able to come loose and float around your mouth, and you should only be able to remove your mouthguard by pulling it out with your fingers. 

With a patented cut design, custom mouthguards help you breath and communicate clearly, which actually enhances your performance. 

Too bad you can’t say the same thing about those holiday cookies.

Nothing brings cheer to the holiday season quite like loved ones, fun decorations, comfortable clothing and custom mouthguards. Happy holidays from Gladiator, the industry leader in custom mouthguards!
