Fortress
mouthguards are laminated mouthguards, custom made to fit your mouth
properly. They are comfortable to wear, have good retention and
fit, and cause minimal interference to speaking and breathing.
Fortress mouthguards
were designed with the help of Rugby League first grade footballers,
who had great problems wearing mouthguards. The footballers found
that most mouthguards did not fit tightly and had to be removed
when they needed to talk or had to breath heavily after excessive
exercise.
The Fortress
Mouthguard offers the following protection:
- It prevents the tongue, lips and cheeks from being
lacerated against the sharp edges of the teeth.
- It significantly lessons the risk of injury to
the anterior teeth following a blow from the front.
- It also lessons the risk of damage to the posterior
teeth of either jaw.
- It lessons the risk of concussion resulting from
impact to the lower jaw.
All active
sports, no matter what you are playing, will damage your teeth in
some way if you get a good enough hit.
Laminated
mouthguards were designed because the old boil and bite mouthguards
(bought in chemists) have absolutely no protection whatsoever and
are actually somewhat dangerous due to some people swallowing them
because of poor fit. These boil and bite mouthguards make people
gag, damage gums and are generally uncomfortable to wear, so people
generally won't wear them.
Laminated
mouthguards offer from 400% to 1000% better and stronger protection
than the cheaper boil and bite mouthguard.
Laminated
Mouthguards come in three different grades:
Light
Mouthguards - Are made for the young sports player, with
mixed dentition of baby and adult teeth for the person playing
low impact sports. (Up to 10 years of age is recommended). This
mouthguard is double laminated 2mm x 2mm.

Medium
Mouthguards - Are made for
most sports for people of all ages. This is a good all-round guard
used for the majority of club sports. This mouthguard is double
laminated 3mm x 2mm.
Heavy
Pro Mouthguards - Are made for heavy contact sports like
Rugby League and all sports involving sticks, for example, hockey.
This is also an excellent guard for contact sports like Kick Boxing
and Karate. This mouthguard is triple laminated 3mm x 1.5mm x
hard layer 2mm.
Fortress
Mouthguards are used by a number of 1st grade football clubs as
well as in various other sports.
