MMA mouthguards

Protectors for MMA teeth on offer from SportanoMixed martial arts (MMA) is a dynamic sport in which the risk of injury is inherent. One of the most important areas that requires special protection is the mouth. Mouthguards are not just an accessory for the fighter, but an essential protection against potential injuries such as tooth fractures, gum damage or even jaw fractures. In the Sportano shop you will find high-quality mouthguards for MMA from proven brands such as Everlast, DBX BUSHIDO, SAFEJAWZ, Venum or Shock Doctor.Types of mouthguards available for fightersIn a sport as demanding and direct as MMA, protection is key. When we talk about protection, mouthguards are one of the first pieces of equipment that come to mind. Depending on the needs and preferences of the fighter, there are many types of mouthguards available. These range from universal models, which are available in most sports shops, to specialised custom-made protectors. Universal protectors, although cheaper, often do not offer the same protection and comfort as those tailored to the athlete's individual needs. Other models, such as thermoformable protectors, can be adapted to the shape of the user's teeth by heating and moulding around the teeth. However, for those looking for the ultimate in quality and protection, individually moulded protectors created by a dentist are considered the gold standard. These specialised protectors are accurately moulded to the shape of the teeth for the best fit, comfort and protection.Individually fitted protectors - why is it worth it? In sport, where any impact can lead to serious consequences, the right equipment is key to safety and effectiveness. Individually fitted mouthguards offer reassurance that cannot be achieved with standard models. By fitting precisely to the shape of the athlete's mouth, they provide optimum protection against injury. What's more, the improved fit means they are less likely to shift or fall out during intense training or combat. But it's not just a safety issue. Individually fitted protectors are also much more comfortable. This allows athletes to breathe easier and focus on their techniques, rather than worrying about whether their protector will hold up well. In addition, custom-fitted protectors tend to last longer than their universal counterparts, making them more efficient in the long run. In the world of MMA, where details can determine victory or defeat, there is no room for compromise when it comes to protection. Bespoke mouthguards provide fighters with the confidence that they are adequately protected, no matter what challenges they face.Materials and technologies in the manufacture of mouthguards mouthguardsMouthguards are an extremely important piece of equipment for any MMA fighter. Although they may appear small and inconspicuous, there are advanced technologies and materials behind their effectiveness. Modern mouthguard manufacturing is based on a combination of innovation, research and a response to the needs of fighters. One of the key materials used in the production of mouthguards is thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). This is a type of flexible plastic that becomes soft and mouldable when exposed to heat, but hardens when it cools down. Thanks to this material, it is possible to customise the mouthguards to the shape of the user's mouth, ensuring a perfect fit and wearing comfort. Another important material is medical silicone, which is soft, flexible and hypoallergenic. It offers excellent cushioning properties, so it is able to effectively dissipate impact energy and protect teeth from damage. In terms of technology, 3D printing has revolutionised the way mouthguards are manufactured. It allows the creation of accurate, personalised models based on 3D scans of the athlete's mouth. This makes it possible to produce a precise and perfectly fitting mouthguard that meets all the athlete's requirements. In addition to 3D printing, computer modelling plays a key role in the design of protectors. Computer programmes allow engineers and designers to test different concepts and materials virtually before implementing them in reality. Advanced materials and technologies are the foundation of today's MMA mouthguards. They not only allow for the creation of a high-quality product, but also to provide fighters with maximum protection and comfort during intense training and fights. In a sporting world where every detail matters, innovation in mouthguards plays a key role in ensuring the safety of athletes.
