Almost 70 percent of the youth in Canada participate in organized sports. In most cases, some type of protective gear is either recommended or provided to individual players. An essential piece of gear for players of all ages is the custom-fit mouthguard. This protective gear should be worn during practice as well as all playtime for contact sports of all kinds as well as activities like skiing, surfing, and more. Currently, more than 90 percent of amateur athletes wear off-the-shelf mouthguards purchased at a sporting goods store. This means that only 10 percent of amateur athletes and student athletes are fully protected with a custom-fit mouthguard. A custom mouthguard is one that has been designed by a professional such as a dentist or athletic trainer. This appliance will meet the requirements for full protection, comfort, resiliency, minimal bulk, and more. Throughout the playing season, the mouthguard should remain tasteless and odourless, which is facilitated with proper materials. It should feel comfortable in the mouth and should not get in the way of swallowing or breathing normally. At the same time, the thickness of the mouthguard should provide adequate shock absorption to prevent injury should the lower jaw be forced upward.
