 Why Should I Wear The Maher B-Protect Appliance?
Our custom-made athletic mouth guard is orthopedically positioned to significantly help reduce the trauma, pain and expensive treatment associated with all athletic injuries, on a professional, amateur, school-related and/or recreational level. It is useful for everyone, no matter whether they are: male or female, young or old, a rookie or veteran.
Mouth & Tooth Protection
The Maher Intact Mouth Guard
is custom-fit and can prevent or lessen the impact of cuts
and other trauma to the lips, cheeks, gums, tongue and mouth - specifically your
teeth when worn in conjunction with a facemask and helmet. A tooth does not "heal" like
other body tissue and often requires extensive treatment to become functional
after suffering an injury.
 Skull & Brain Protection
Less obvious, but no less significant, is the role a mouth guard plays in helping to prevent concussions. Reports of, and emphasis on, concussive injuries have increased significantly due to media coverage and publicity surrounding "post-concussion syndrome" (permanent brain damage resulting from multiple concussions).
Current research is showing that a concussion is more than a "ding" to the skull. It can cause serious neurological injury, varying from sluggishness or loss of balance, to more serious problems such as: memory loss, depression, migraine headaches or Alzheimer's disease, just to name a few. Even when the incident occurs in a younger athlete, the effects of such a blow can create major problems later in life.
The Maher Product Line is well-fitted and a smart investment for athletes of all ages. Concussive injuries are easy to avoid, yet difficult (sometimes impossible) to rectify. Therefore, investing in a mouth guard and following as many preventive measures as possible is worthwhile.
When Should I Wear The Maher Product Line?
One should be worn whenever there is a distinct possibility of contact with any hard object, including: another person, a ball, puck or stick, a wall or even the ground.
