Dental injuries are the most common type of oro-facial injuries sustained during sport with the upper central and lateral incisors
accounting for approximately 83% of all dental injuries.

The importance of wearing mouthguards to reduce such injuries is well researched, however the vast majority of sportspeople, as a
result of poor alternatives and the absence of education programmes, have used inferior ‘generic’ mouthguards purchased on the basis
of non-critical factors such as colour and price. These generic mouthguards neither fit nor protect effectively.

The decision to wear a mouthguard while participating in either recreational or professional sport is a complex choice. The nature of the
sport (i.e. contact vs non-contact, racquet, stick or ball sport), the position of the participant ‘on the field’, the level of competition, the
age and gender of the sportsperson are all variables which can be used to determine the most suitable style and type of mouthguard to
be used.

Unfortunately, most ‘generic’ mouthguards have not been designed to accommodate these basic variables and while sportspeople
continue to compromise their safety by purchasing these products there will remain an unacceptable level of preventable dental injury.

Signature Mouthguards' 20 years of continued research and development has not only produced the revolutionary, internationally
acclaimed Signature custom fabricated mouthguard but has also led to the introduction of a new range of ‘off the shelf’ mouthguards.

While these types will never match the soundness of the professional custom hand made laboratory type, Signatures' cutting edge design
and production techniques have allowed many of the unique features present in the custom fabricated types to be incorporated into
these ‘off the shelf’ types providing a level of protection and comfort not before available in any ‘generic’ mouthguard product.

Note: ALL Signature mouthguards are manufactured from Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) and DO NOT contain Latex.
