The National Youth Sports Foundation estimates that more than 5 million teeth are lost every year in sporting activities in the USA.

On the other hand the American Dental Association estimates more than 200,000 oral injuries annually prevented by sports mouthguards in the USA.

The different sports mouthguards are not the same quality
Numerous scientific tests demonstrate the superior protective effect of laminated Playsafe sports mouthguards.

Playsafe sports mouthguards are fabricated individually, consist at least of 2 laminated layers with an imprint of the opposing bite. Additionally they can be equipped with the sportist´s name and Playsafe typ labels.

Comparing individually fabricated Playsafe sports mouthguards with boil & bite constructions demonstrate significant advantages for the Playsafe guard.

Boil & Bite mouthguards do not fit as accurately as custom sports mouthguards and move. The athlete has to hold the mouthguard onto the teeth. This prevents him from top performance.
