How is UA Performance Mouthwear different from a regular mouthguard?
A regular mouthguard provides protection, but it doesn’t improve your sports performance. The UA Performance Mouthwear mouthpieces and mouthguards are endorsed by well-recognized pro athletes, as well as dentists, trainers, coaches, and wellness experts.

How does it work?
Three ways:
- Stress reduction. The UA Performance Mouthwear prevents clenching, which releases cortisol, the stress hormone. Cortisol can cause fatigue, irritability, and distraction.
- Oxygen intake. The UA Performance Mouthwear’s patented design enlarges the airways, allowing more oxygen to reach the muscles when it’s needed most.
- Jaw position. By relieving stress on the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), the UA Performance Mouthwear helps prevent headaches, as well as neck, back, and facial pain.
