Mouth guards can protect someone's mouth and overall health. Regular mouth guards and sport mouth guards protect the mouth in different ways. It is important to know how they have different designs to serve different purposes. Xiamen Yizhou has been creating and selling silicone and plastic products for 18 years and knows how to make quality sports and regular mouth guards. To maximize protection in physical settings sports mouth guards need to have unique designs.
Main design objectives: Protection focus varies.
When it comes to mouth guards used in sports the overriding objective is to absorb the impact whenever there is a sports collision. It protects the teeth, gums, and jaws from a sudden impact. While on the other side, regular mouth guards have objectives like teeth grinding, comfort in wearing it for long, sleep protection, teeth whitening, and other focused functions. Xiamen Yizhou designs regular mouth guards to focus more on fit and function, while sports mouth guards have a greater emphasis on impact protection.Material selection: Durability vs. comfort
Intense physical contact during sports requires mouth guards to be made of shock-absorbing and durable materials. For sports mouth guards, the Xiamen Yizhou uses high-density EVA materials, which provide high elasticity and impact resistance to reduce damage during contact. While some mouth guards add soft and flexible materials so they can be worn comfortably during extended use, like sleeping, these materials are also meant to provide some functional impact resistance. Both of Xiamen Yizhou's mouth guards, regular and sports, are BPA-free and FDA certified to ensure the safety of the users.
Fit and structure: Secure retention vs. universal comfort
During intense movements, sports mouth guards are made to stay in place, thus they have a very snug fit. Yizhou's sports mouth guard is designed to contour around the teeth and gums to keep retention, and is designed to stay in place while running and jumping during contact sports. It may have extra padding on high impact areas, like the front teeth. Regular mouth guards are universal fit to keep retention on the runners, but during extended use, they are prioritizing comfort. Without the need to keep sport retention, these mouth guards can be moldable to fit individual mouth structures.
Thickness Distribution: Protective Layering for Safety
Thickness distribution is another key aspect in design differences. Zygomaticatempromandibular (ZTM) sports mouthguards have a discrepancy in thickness, where increased padding is added to areas that are more susceptible to impact, such as the anterior teeth and jaw joints. This design aids in the absorption and distribution of opposing force vectors. Typical mouthguards have a consistent thickness throughout, which promotes comfort and encourages a consistent occlusal contact with the teeth for its intended use, whether that be for grinding protection or a whitening gel. Xiamen Yizhou’s specialty is in direct contact with several athletic mouthguards, and in thickness design, ZTM mouthguards catered to each mouthguard's purpose.
Breathability and Communication
ZTM mouthguards are designed, specifically for the purpose of breathability and communication, to be unobstructed. Xiamen Yizhou’s sports mouthguards utilize a breathable design that sports members can use to communicate with one another. That said, for standard mouthguards, the breathability aspect, while a design consideration, is less critical than fit and intended purpose, as they are designed to be used while sleeping and the usage timeframe is typically limited.
