Dental laboratory DDS Lab has launched a new line of mouthguards with six levels of sport-specific protection.
Available in more than 27 colors and designs with six levels of sport-specific performance, the Fierce mouthguards are designed to meet the needs of any athlete, from gymnasts to mixed martial arts fighters, according to the company.
The mouthguards come in various layers or levels depending upon what sport is being played and the necessary level of protection required:
- Level 1: 3 mm with one layer, designed specifically for children with mixed dentition
- Level 2: 3 mm with two layers, for wrestling, volleyball, mountain biking, and motocross
- Level 3: 3.5 mm with one hard and two soft layers, specially designed to provide maximum comfort and protection for all sports
- Level 4: 5 mm with two layers, ideal for soccer, rugby, basketball, softball, rollerblading, and skateboarding
- Level 5: 5 mm with two layers and special power bands, designed for baseball, football, racquetball, martial arts, and boxing
- Level 6: 5 mm with one hard and two soft layers, custom-fabricated for ice, field, and street hockey, as well as kickboxing and other heavy-contact sports
"With the increase in both the number and cost of sports-related traumas to the teeth, athletes and people in general are seeking both the most up-to-date technology and comfort available in a mouthguard," said Amy Ceresa, president of DDS Lab. "Fierce mouthguards are 100% customized to the specific needs of each case."
