摘要: A performance enhancing and force absorbing mouthguard adapted to fit the upper teeth of mouth an athlete wherein is quadruple or quintuple composite material distinct materials. The first internal layer a non-softenable flexible framework which will permit hold its shape during fitting as well absorb dissipate significant impact conveyed teeth. hard, durable reverse bite plate wedge thicker rearwardly lowers condyle from temporomandibular joint in fulcrum action place lower jaw optimum condition preventing impingement upon nerves arteries spacing apart. Elastomeric traction pads are on bottom grippingly engaged by posterior jaw. While framework, mechanically interlocked, softenable placed over excepting contact portions encapsulate custom fitting.
