Who knew your jaw could help you perform better? Hundreds of years ago ancient Greek athletes used to bite on leather straps to improve athletic performance. Roman and Viking warriors would clamp down on leather bits to improve their focus on the battlefield. They knew it worked but until now the concept never evolved.
Under Armour Perfomance Mouthwear has been designed and engineered to unlock abilities that are inside you but can be blocked by the human body's reflex system- teeth clenching. When people train or compete, the natural reaction is to clench your teeth. This leads to excessive amounts of stress hormones such as cortisol, that sap performance and produce fatigue, stress, and distraction.
This new technology, developed by the company
Bite Tech, specializes in performance mouthwear which prevents your teeth from clenching and pivots your jaw forward. This position relieves pressure on the jaw joint, keeping excessive negative hormones from being produced. This jaw position also improves airway opening.
Research has shown that strength is improved by an average of 17% and lactic acid build-up is decreased by 25% by wearing the Under Armour Performance Mouthwear. Studies also show an improvement in responding to auditory and visual cues which could speed reaction time.
It is amazing something as simple as a custom mouthguard could actually increase physical performance. This technology is backed by some of the biggest names in professional sports, and recommended by professional trainers and strength coaches.
So what is involved in getting started? All we need are impressions of your teeth and a bite registration. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes. Once the impressions are sent to the lab it typically takes 10 days to get the mouthwear delivered to
our office. We then make sure it fits correctly and that's it!!
If you or someone you know could benefit from this technology
contact us. The regular price of the
Under Armour Performance Mouthwear is $520; however, we are running an introductory offer of $320 through December 31, 2009.
Keep Smiling,
