Protech Dent and Sisu Mouth
Guard are the same product from the same manufacturer. They just changed the
product name in July 2012
SISU Mouth Guard is
the best dental protection of today's sports!
According to the
National Youth Sports Safety Foundation there are on average 1 million dental
injuries related to sporting activities in the US annually.
American Dental Association (ADA) calculates
the lifetime cost of an injured tooth to $15-20,000 including all visits and
procedures. If that cost is spread over 40 years, the annual cost is about
$500/injuried tooth. Consequently, the total annual cost for dental injuries in
the USA
is $500M, quite an astonishing figure!
A study of 2,000 Swedish hockey players showed
that 35% of them had dental injuries, despite wearing mandatory mouth guards.
Conventional soft mouth guards are simply not tough enough and in addition they
are too uncomfortable and inhibiting the game. And now, at a very affordable
price, you will get much better protection that custom fits to your teeth in
minutes.
What makes SISU so
much better?
SISU is a novel ultra thin and tough mouth guard
that is up to 50% stronger than conventional mouth guards and allows users to
breathe, talk and drink. It's the perfect mouth guard for high impact sports,
team sports and high performance sports where you need to be able to be at your
very best, all the time.
Our competitors claim that they not only
provide dental protection but also protects against concussions. Whether we
debate this or not, SISU beats its competitors in 4 important material
characteristics:
·
30-50% lower transfer of impact forces to the teeth
·
90-140% better absorption of impact forces
·
8 times higher tensile strength (toughness)
·
30 times less deformation of the material upon impact
