Under Armour Technology
Visiting the dentist's office has long been proven to improve a person's overall health and prevent future dental issues. With the introduction of Under Armour Performance Mouthwear, visiting your dentist can now also improve an athlete's strength, endurance and reaction time and reduce athletic stress.
When athletes exert themselves, clenching the jaw is a natural reaction. But teeth-clenching triggers the excess production and release of hormones, such as cortisol. This produces stress, fatigue and distraction and can hinder an athlete's performance. Under Armour's innovative new line of custom mouthpieces and mouthguards are designed to improve athletic performance.
Powered by ArmourBite, patented mouthwear technology developed by Bite Tech, Inc., Under Armour Performance Mouthwear relieves pressure on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and prevents the excessive production of performance-sapping hormones.
Local athletes can now be equipped with the same technology used by hundreds of professional, Olympic and collegiate athletes. The easy and completely painless custom-fitting process typically takes less than 20 minutes.
“Throughout history, soldiers, warriors and athletes realized that by preventing their teeth from clenching together with a leather strap or bullet, they were able to gain the edge they needed to get through, or even excel at strenuous or punishing activities,” said Bite Tech founder Jon Kittelsen. “ArmourBite Technology brings this ancient concept to today's athletes with a comfortable, safe product.”
Bite Tech has conducted years of independent studies at some of the nation's top universities and research centers, including The Citadel and IMG Academies. These studies have proven the science behind UA Performance Mouthwear.
