Protectors
for teeth, boxing jaws - choose the right model in the Sportano shopMouth protection in combat sports such as boxing, MMA or taekwondo is not only a matter of comfort, but above all safety. Impacts to the face are inevitable, and damage to the teeth, gums or jaw can lead to serious health complications, permanent damage, as well as costly dental procedures. Therefore, oral protection is considered one of the most important pieces of equipment for any combat sports athlete.
In the Sportano shop you will find a wide range of the best quality mouthguards and boxing jaw guards from top brands such as DBX BUSHIDO, SAFEJAWZ, Venum, Shock Doctor or DIVISION B-2.Design of mouthguards: how they work and what makes them
distinguish them?The mouthguards are specially designed to absorb impact, distributing the force of the blow over the surface of the mouthguard and reducing the direct impact on the teeth and gums. They are made of soft but durable materials that mould to the shape of the jaw. Often they also have special channels to allow free breathing during intense exercise.Types of mouthguards: from uniform to custom-fit
individualThere are several types of mouthguards available on the market:
Uniform protectors - these are the simplest and cheapest models, which have a universal shape and are ready to use immediately after purchase.
Thermoformed mouthguards - these are mouthguards that can be customised to the individual shape of the jaw by dipping them in hot water and fitting them to the teeth.
Custom-made protectors - these are the most precise protectors that are individually created for each athlete by a dentist or specialist.
Materials and technology: what
materials are used in production?Teeth protectors, which are a key protective element in combat sports, must meet specific requirements in terms of durability, comfort and functionality. The manufacturing technology and materials used to create protectors have evolved significantly over the years, adapting to the growing needs of athletes.
Rubber and silicone are the two most basic substances used in the production of protectors. They are flexible, allowing the mouthguard to adapt to the individual shape of the mouth, but at the same time offer good impact resistance, protecting teeth and gums from injury.
In recent years, significant advances in oral protection have been brought about by thermoplastic materials. These allow the user to customise the mouthguard by dipping it in hot water and then moulding it around the teeth. As the material cools, it retains its shape, ensuring a perfect fit.
For bespoke protectors, advanced composite resins are often used. These are highly impact-resistant, yet can be precisely tailored to the individual dimensions of the athlete's mouth, providing protection that is unparalleled elsewhere.
In addition, modern technology has made it possible to introduce protectors with antimicrobial technology. Materials such as colloidal silver or special antimicrobial coatings are incorporated into the plastic during production, providing long-lasting protection against bacteria and helping to keep the mouth fresh.
Innovations in manufacturing technology have also contributed to the development of multi-layer protectors. These consist of several layers of different materials that work together to provide maximum protection while maintaining comfort.
