LOS ANGELES, CA — Recently, Dr. Neda Naim’s Los Angeles dentistry practice has become one of select dental practices providing Under Armour Performance Mouthwear to its lineup of custom-made sportsguards. These sportsguards are fabricated to fit the unique jawline and bite of the patient, which provides not only protection against oral injury, but performance benefits as well.

The “Armourbite” technology begins with a consultation with a certified Under Armour Mouthguard provider. For either a non-contact or contact sportsguard, dental impressions are taken as well as other measurements to provide a comfortable mouthpiece that fits perfectly and aligns the jaw to relieve TMJ pressure, tension from stress, and other dampening factors.

“The truth is that while a typical mouthpiece will protect teeth from damage, they are not optimized for vigorous activity,” says Los Angeles dentist Dr. Naim. “Normal mouthpieces do not allow for optimized breathing and actually position the jaw in a tense position, whereas the Under Armour mouthpiece provides protection, comfort, and optimal positioning that promotes breathing and relaxation during activity.” (more…)
