Dr. Charles Hulsey, a San Diego Orthodontist, has discovered that an athletic mouthguard may not only protect an athlete's teeth, but also affect the athlete's performance. His research revealed that a balanced bite is an vital part of the body's muscle strength and structure. If it is unbalanced, you get weakness throughout the body's muscles. The Hulsey Strength Mouthguard was developed so that your muscle strength is not only maintained but increased.
NOT ALL MOUTHGUARDS ARE ALIKE!!
The inexpensive mouthguards found at a sporting goods stores are made of rubber-like plastic formed in an arch into which the wearer bites - because these are basically "one size fits all" these offer limited protection to teeth and weaken the athlete. The thermoplastic versions of these mouthguards will also become distorted over time and in varying temperatures.
The Hulsey Strength Mouthguard begins with specific molds being taken of the teeth of the individual athlete, their specific sport is taken into consideration, and a custom piece is created to offer maximum protection for the teeth, head, neck, and most importantly, jaw. The athlete's performance is only improved by a mouthguard when it is custom designed to align the athlete's bite with the rest of his or her's body.
