Dental injuries can happen at any time and like most accidents, they usually occur when you least expect them. However, some scenarios are more dangerous than others and there are often steps you can take to protect your teeth and gums in potentially hazardous situations, such as when you are playing sport. Whether you enjoy a kick about on the rugby field once a week or you’re an elite performer in a fighting sport, we strongly recommend wearing a gum shield. We are incredibly proud to be one of just a handful of practices to offer patients the incredible OSO Athletic mouth guard.
What is the OSO Athletic mouth guard?
Mouth guards are appliances that are worn when you play sport as a means of reducing the risk of injury and protecting the teeth. The OSO Athletic mouth guard is an advanced gum shield that offers protection as well as a host of other benefits proven to enhance sporting performance.
Usually, custom-made gum shields are designed to fit over the teeth perfectly, but with the OSO Athletic mouth guard, customisation goes a step further. Every time you place the gum shield in your mouth, it automatically adjusts the position of your jaw to ensure that it is the optimum place. Modifying the position of the jaw reduces tension in the muscles, increases the range of movement, reduces the risk of joint stiffness and pain and facilitates more efficient muscle contraction throughout the body. Studies have shown that using the OSO Athletic mouth guard is proven to help increase strength, power and balance, so it may just be the catalyst to giving you the edge over an opponent.
Who can benefit from the OSO Athletic mouth guard?
We recommend the OSO Athletic mouth guard for anyone who participates in fighting sports, martial arts, contact sports, sports that involve heavy objects and sports that involve hard surfaces and fast-paced action, such as hockey, lacrosse and ice hockey. Although this is a very advanced piece of kit, it is not just reserved for professional athletes and can be highly beneficial for participants of all abilities and levels.
