Freedom And Fireworks: Custom Mouthguards Are Something To Celebrate

Fourth of July is a great time for celebration — from summer and freedom to BBQs and, best of all, fireworks, Independence Day is one of the best times of the year.

Who doesn’t love a good fireworks show? The colors, the lights, the sounds; it’s a show that sparks patriotism, awe and wonder in all who watch. Can you name something else that represents freedom and is fun to look at?

You may not have guessed it, but the answer is: mouthguards. Custom mouthguards to be exact. But how do custom mouthguards help to put a spark in your athlete’s game and make your whole team light it up? Simple:

1. The Freedom To Be Aggressive…

Being aggressive is an important part of any athlete’s game and the smallest distraction has the ability to derail a player’s aggressive instinct. Something as small as an ill-fitting mouthguard may take them completely off their game.

When a mouthguard doesn’t fit properly, it tends to swim in a player’s mouth and move around when it should fit perfectly into place. Like an annoying tag on a t-shirt, that mouthguard is distracting, as it constantly needs to be readjusted; and instead of having their head in the game, your athletes are taking their minds off the task at hand.

A custom mouthguard means freedom; freedom from distraction and worry. That’s because your players’ mouthguards are designed for their exact individual mouth structure and fit to perfection. When your team is on the field, court or ice, their mouthguards are always where they need to be; and their level of aggressive play is as well. 

2. … And Stay In The Game

Custom mouthguards don’t just help cut down on distractions. They help free you from injuries too.

When a mouthguard is in the right place at the right time, it acts as a shock absorber and helps minimize the impact when a blow to the face or mouth occurs. That means your players are protected when they need it most, and remain in the game when it matters most to their teammates.

That’s why both the American Dental Association and the Academy of Sports Dentistry recommend a professionally-made, properly-fitted custom mouthguard for all contact and collision sports.

3. Shine Bright Like A Firework…

Much like flashy, awe-inspiring fireworks, custom mouthguards put on a spectacular show. 

Thanks to complete personalization, players have the ability to customize their mouthguards to fit their personality and individuality. With choices of color, logo and name or number, your players are able to really stand out amongst the competition.

But unlike fireworks, these fun designs and imposing grills make opponent’s eyes go wide all year round.

4. …And Sound Like One Too

Is that the boom of a firework? No, just your players communicating clearly on the field, court or ice!

Because custom mouthguards fit your players’ exact mouth structure, your players are able to speak, breathe and drink clearly while wearing their custom mouthguards. Designed for optimal oxygen flow, custom mouthguards allow athletes to take in more oxygen which lets them communicate better than any other mouthguard, while also enhancing performance and endurance.

How’s that for a grand finale?!
