Posted by Patrick on June 20, 2011

Under Armour Performance Mouthwear includes the UA Mouthguard, Armour Bite Mouthguard and Armour Bite Mouthpiece. These products were designed to provide an optimum gap between the teeth to reduce the negative effects of clenching when under stressful situations and during athletic activities. According to the producers, performance mouthwear would increase endurance and strength, recover reaction time, ease stress, and reduce impact on the patient’s jaw.

The Performance Mouthwear is manufactured when authorized dentists make available upper and lower polyvinyl siloxane impressions or die-stone casts and a centric occlusion bite registration. According to the manufacturer, the appliances are usually delivered within 10 days and must not require adjustments. The experts rated this appliance on certain factors like ease of fabrication, customer service, the capability of the laboratory to meet up their expectations, and feedback from the patients. Furthermore they assessed whether they would recommend this appliance to their social group or buy it in the future.

While rating the ease of fabrication of this appliance, 8 dentists rated it as outstanding, 3 rated it as very superior, and others rated it as good. Further three evaluators listed ease of fabrication as what they liked best in the product. According to the experts the product defiantly meet the requirement as well as expectations, some professionals rate the appliance as excellent, others rated it as very good, the remaining rated it as good as well as few critics have no answer to the question of its efficiency and engineering.

Typically each of the dentist evaluators regularly rates patient feedback. Some professional of the field rated patient feedback as excellent, 6 rated it as very good, 2 rated it as good, and remaining rated it as fair. One of the professional provided quotes from few of his patients: “It’s tremendously comfortable,” as well as, “My muscles feel more relaxed,” and “It’s a 10 in my book.” In relation to the lab communication, 8 assessors gave an excellent rating and 4 others gave a rating of very good. Client service was rated by 10 of the 12 evaluators—5 as excellent, 4 as very good, and 1 as fair.

Many dentists declare that they would definitely or doubtlessly recommend Under Armour Performance Mouthwear to their social group, and other patients said they would certainly or probably purchase the appliance in the future. The appliance is fairly though high priced than others; it commonly is the concern for some professionals and their patients. Certain evaluators, who highly endorse the product with an overall satisfaction rating of excellent, declares the only negative aspect is its price. While assessing the overall satisfaction rating for the Under Armour Performance Mouthwear appliance, 5 rated it as excellent, 5 rated it as very good, 1 rated it as good, and 1 rated it as reasonable.

As someone who has an armourbite mouthpiece for non-contact sports, I can honestly say that you will feel an immediate difference. I actually enjoy wearing the mouthpiece as it forces the face to attain a certain level of relaxation. Often times we are clenching or grimacing and don’t even know it, the armourbite performance mouthpiece corrects any of these tendencies.

UA Performance Mouthguards Review

Posted by Patrick on May 28, 2011

Performance Mouthguards and Performance Mouthwear

Under Armour’s new and innovative Performance Mouthwear and Performance Mouthguards are a new line of custom mouthpieces and mouth guards, which are aimed at improving athletic performance. UA Performance Mouthwear is supposed to be able to provide increased strength to any athlete, improve endurance and reaction time, reduce athletic stress, and with the mouth guard, reduce impact from blows to the jaw. Performance mouthguards are powered by ArmourBite, Bite Tech’s patented technology which is engineered to unlock an athlete’s power and potential.

Performance mouthguards counteract the human body’s most instinctive reflex systems, the teeth-clenching which can strain most athletes’ true potential. This triggers the production and release of hormones such as cortisol (stress hormone). Since performance mouthguards prevent teeth-clenching and relieve pressure on the jaw, the body is that much less inhibited by performance degrading factors. Now, athletes in any sport can capitalize on a product that will make them better, stronger, and faster with the safe, custom-built Performance Mouthwear and performance mouthguards.

History Behind Performance Mouthwear and Performance Mouthguards

“Throughout history, soldiers, warriors and athletes realized that by preventing their teeth from clenching together with a leather strap or bullet, they were able to gain the edge they needed to get through, or even excel at strenuous or punishing activities,” said Jon Kittelsen, Bite Tech’s performance mouthguards founder and maverick entrepreneur. “Our technology brings this ancient concept to today’s athletes with a comfortable, safe product from Under Armour.”

Bite Tech’s performance mouthguards have been tried and tested by hundreds of professional, Olympic and collegiate athletes for years. Even a roster of current and former athletes such as Minnesota Vikings Adrian Peterson, Bernard Berrian and Bobby Wade, New York Ranger Marian Gaborik, and retired sports legends Brett Hull and Raghib “Rocket” Ismail have invested in Bite Tech’s innovative performance mouthguards.

The Science Behind Performance Mouthguards

Years of independent studies conducted by Bite Tech at some of the nation’s top universities and research centers have proven the science behind the ArmourBite Technology found in UA Performance Mouthwear. “Under Armour is the perfect partner because we share their mission of using innovation to make all athletes better,” said Bob Molhoek, CEO of Bite Tech, who has high hopes for these performance mouthguards. “We’re thrilled to launch this technology under one of the most popular brands in sports.”

Bite Tech contends that performance mouthguards have a hormonal basis. They state that athletic competition triggers a “fight or flight” reaction that includes clenching of the jaw and that “the clenched jaw and teeth compress the TMJ, triggering the release of excess amounts of performance-sapping hormones (like cortisol) that produce stress, fatigue and distraction.” The company further claims that UA Performance Mouthwear helps the human body help itself by unlocking the power of the jaw. Patented ArmourBite Technology in performance mouthguards prevents your teeth from clenching and pivots your jaw forward to relieve pressure on the TMJ. Thanks to performance mouthguards, gone are the excess negative hormones and the energy-draining effects, so the body can now unleash its full potential. Independent studies conducted at some of the nation’s top universities and research centers have proven the undeniable advantages of UA Performance Mouthwear and performance mouthguards.

Where to Get Performance Mouthwear and Performance Mouthguards

ArmourBite products can be obtained through dentists who send molds of the patient’s top and bottom teeth to the Bite Tech lab, which makes the performance mouthguards. There are three models.  UA Performance Mouthguards are for contact sports and features a custom-molded piece offering superior protection and comfort. The UA Performance Mouthpiece is for noncontact sports and features a custom-lolded piece with optimal fit and comfort. Both cost the dentist $160 and retail for $495 (plus the cost of the dentist’s services).

The UA Performance Allow Mouthpiece, which has a metal crosspiece, costs the dentist $370 and retails for $950. In contrast, standard mouth guards worn to simply protect teeth during contact sports are available through retail outlets for less than $20. While you can safely perform using an ordinary mouth guard, those wanting an edge may want to opt for Under Armour’s ArmorBite performance mouthguards. Contact an authorized UA Performance Mouthwear dentist like Los Angeles dentist Dr. Arthur Weiss to get custom made performance mouthguards.

Who is Recommending Performance Mouthwear and Performance Mouthguards?

Performance Mouthwear is a completely new category of performance gear designed for all athletes looking to get better in their chosen sport. Performance Mouthwear, which includes mouthpieces and performance mouthguards with patented technology from Bite Tech, does more than provide the standard protection from a regular mouth guard: It enhances performance. It is not only backed by some of the biggest names in pro sports, it’s also recommended by dentists, pro trainers, strength coaches and wellness experts.

Who is Wearing Performance Mouthwear and Performance Mouthguards?

Hundreds of professional athletes are currently relying on the superior performance and protection benefits of performance mouthguards. But it isn’t just for pros – Performance Mouthwear is for all athletes who want to excel in their sport or activity. The Under Armour Performance Mouthguard offers superior protection in addition to its performance benefits and should be used in contact sports such as football, hockey and lacrosse.
