3 Reasons Why Custom Mouthguards Make Labor Day More Relaxing

It’s easy to get anxious as we approach the Labor Day weekend. For one thing, the summer is somehow coming to a close — how did it fly by so quickly?! And that means the end of vacations, getting back to school and the beginning of a new athletic season.

But while the thought of Labor Day may be stress-inducing for your players, it’s really their last chance to kick back, relax and enjoy summer. They may just need a little help. And with their new season about to begin, custom mouthguards may just be the help they need.

Let’s take a look at three reasons why custom mouthguards help your players relax this Labor Day:

1. Nothing says relax like “comfort”

Have you ever worn a shirt with an annoying tag that just wouldn’t stop bothering you? It’s highly uncomfortable, making it difficult to relax or focus. Comfort is a huge component of relaxation, and right now, the thought of wearing uncomfortable mouthguards is making it hard for your players to relax about the upcoming season.

Generic or stock mouthguards aren’t just uncomfortable, they are distracting. That’s because they’re bulky in areas they shouldn’t be, which makes it hard for players to speak or breathe. And that means your players are constantly adjusting their mouthguards, rather than paying attention to the task at hand.

How could anyone relax?!

Well, custom mouthguards are made to fit the exact structure of each player’s mouth, meaning your players don’t just get the best protection possible, but the most comfortable fit as well.

If your players know they’re completely protected while still being able to speak and breathe with comfort, they’ll rest easy this Labor Day weekend.

2. When you’re relaxed, you’re “cool”

It’s important for your players to stay cool in the remaining days of the summer heat.

Unless you were a member of the Denver Bronco’s “Orange Crush” defense, it’s hard to feel “cool” when you have a giant orange wedge sticking out of your mouth. Yet, for some reason, teams continue to wear generic mouthguards that make them look like Marlon Brando in The Godfather.

Choosing to wear something that speaks to your own identity and personality is the easiest way to feel cooler. So why should it be any different for athletes? With a completely personalized mouthguard — from color and logo to name and number — your athletes don’t just get another piece of equipment, but a new item of team gear they value as much as their jersey and an essential component of completing their game face.

When players feel “cool”, they play confidently; and when they play confidently, they play at their best. With custom mouthguards, your players are as “cool” as a late summer evening.

3. Unlike summer, custom mouthguards last

Much like summer, generic mouthguards are fleeting things that don’t last forever.

As mentioned earlier, generic mouthguards like boil-and-bite guards are too bulky and rubbery, which means they don’t fit properly. Because they don’t fit well, they float around the mouth or become dislodged which promotes chewing. And that’s when mouthguards get lost or damaged.

With an intimate fit and complete personalization, custom mouthguards deter chewing and become valuable pieces of equipment for your team. That’s why they outlast boil-and-bite guards 5-to-1, and why you won’t have to worry about constantly replacing team gear.

And that should help you relax this Labor Day!

Help your players relax, stay “cool” and enjoy the end of summer this Labor Day Weekend.

Have a great holiday!
