How It Works

Athletes all over the country are using these pieces to help them perform better. Whether they play full contact sports such as Football or Hockey, limited contact sports such as Basketball or Softball and non contact sports such as Golf or Running.

Suprisingly, your jaw is the key to making yourself perform at your best. See, when you concentrate or put your body through an intense workout your body's reaction is to have your instinctive reflex system kick in, causing you to do what is called "teeth-clenching." When you clench your teeth and jaw, you compress your temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which then releases excess amounts of hormones (like cortisol) causing stress, fatigue and distraction.

These mouthpieces prevent your teeth from clenching and moves your jaw forward to relieve the pressure on the TMJ. Moving the jaw forward allows the excess hormones and energy-draining effects to diminish, allowing the body to unleash its full potential.

What It Does

  • Increases Strength
    • With improved airflow and less stress from clenching, the UA Performance Mouthwear has been proven by an  average of 17% with the UA Performance Mouthpiece and 12% with the UA Performance Mouthguard.
  • Increases Endurance
    • The UA Performance Mouthwear allows airways to enlarge resulting in 25% less lactic acid build-up after 30 minutues of intense exercise.
  • Speeds up Reaction Time
    • Athletes may respond faster when wearing UA Performance Mouthwear. Research shows an improvement in the response to auditory and visual cues.
  • Reduces Athletic Stress
    • The excess cortisol causes stress, fatigue and distraction. Wearing UA Performance Mouthwear decreases the cortisol and allows you to feel and play better.
  • Reduces Impact
    • When an athlete's jaw suffers an impact, energy is then transmitted to the head, which can cause concussion. UA Performance Mouthguards have been shown to reduce the G-Force impact of blows to the jaw by up to 20%.
