3 Ways Custom Mouthguards Are Just Like The Winter Season

December 21^st has passed and it’s officially winter — time for cold weather, heavy coats and the holidays. But winter is also the perfect time to think about mouthguards.

Did you know that custom mouthguards are just like winter? It’s true!

Let’s explore three ways that mouthguards and the winter season have a lot in common:

1. Winter Is Unpredictable

Blistering artic chills. Severe blizzards. Unseasonably warm spring-like weather.

Sure, you could check the latest Farmer’s Almanac, but realistically, when it comes to winter weather you never know what to expect. That means you must be prepared for anything — from stocking rock salt in your house to putting chains on your tires.

The same is true in the world of sports, where you never know when a major impact is coming and you certainly can’t predict when an injury is going to occur. That’s why you must always be prepared with the proper protection, making sure it fits correctly and is where it needs to be.

2. Staying Comfortable Is Important

While you never know what you’re going to get with winter weather, one thing is for sure: it’s going to get cold at some point. And you certainly don’t want to be uncomfortable during the coldest time of year. That means heaters, sweaters, warm cocoa and anything else that keeps you and your home warm.

Similarly, you need your mouthguard to be comfortable to get you through the season. If your mouthguard is uncomfortable, it’s not the right mouthguard for you. Not only is it distracting and taking away from your game, it’s not protecting you properly.

Wearing an uncomfortable mouthguard is like being outside in the dead of winter — it makes it very difficult to breathe and speak.

3. Time To Celebrate

The winter season isn’t all about weather though; it’s also the start of the holidays. And the holiday season means bringing your family and friends together and celebrating with the one’s you love.

Well, your mouthguard also gives you reason to celebrate what you love!

With complete personalization — from custom colors and logos to your name and number — your mouthguard let’s your personal identity shine like the brightest, most overly-decorated house on your block.

From unpredictable and uncomfortable weather to celebrating with the ones you love, mouthguards and winter have a lot in common. How else are mouthguards and winter similar? Tell us what you think in the comments below.
