Mouth Guard Double Senior

A double senior mouth guard is a protective device designed for adult athletes participating in high-impact sports. Here’s a breakdown of its key components and purpose:

Main Body:

• Material: Made from a shock-absorbing material :
  • Thermoplastic: This is the most common type for double senior mouth guards. It can be heat-molded for a custom fit that provides superior comfort and protection.

Double Design:

• This is the defining feature of a double senior mouth guard compared to a single one. It consists of two sections:
  • Upper Jaw Section: Fits securely over the upper front teeth and gums.
  • Lower Jaw Section: Protects the lower front teeth and gums.
• Connection: The two sections are joined by a small bridge at the front, allowing for some natural movement and improving overall fit.

• Internal Ridges or Fins: Molded into the inner surface to enhance grip and distribute impact more evenly across the teeth and gums.
• Gel Layer (Especially in Lower Jaw Section): Provides additional comfort and shock absorption for the lower jaw, which is more susceptible to injury.

Overall Design:

• Comfort: A crucial aspect for proper protection and user compliance. The double design should feel snug but not constricting, allowing for comfortable breathing and speech.
• Retention: The mouth guard should stay securely in place during use, even with forceful impacts. This is achieved through a combination of the custom fit (for thermoplastics) and the overall design.

Benefits of a Double Senior Mouth Guard:

• Enhanced Protection: Provides superior protection for both the upper and lower front teeth, jaws, lips, and cheeks from impacts during falls, collisions, or contact with equipment.
• Confidence Boost: By reducing the fear of dental injuries, athletes can focus on playing with more confidence.
