Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
Even though it’s only the beginning of January, I already had a small stack of spring sport sign ups placed upon my desk by my boys: youth baseball, youth basketball spring league, and AYSO soccer. My 10 year old wants to do the basketball and AYSO, my oldest wants to sign up for baseball, my youngest son is now old enough to play AYSO and he wants to. Filled out forms and sent in money. Next step will be to pick up the gear they need for practice and games.
Under Armour is a well known brand for performance and sports gear. My boys think it’s cool to have Under Armour gear. This year my oldest son gets to test out a new Under Armour product, ArmourBite® Mouthpiece.
If you look at the picture you can see it doesn’t look like your typical mouthpiece. I actually thought it was a mouth guard of some sort when I initially read about it but my assumption was wrong. It’s actually a mouth piece to help with your performance.
ArmourBite® Mouthpiece is meant to be worn on the lower teeth. The idea is that when we work out or play sports we tend to clench our teeth. When we clench our teeth we aren’t getting as much air flow and cortisol is released which causes stress. Here is a video from Under Armour that explains it a little more:
If you or your children have ever worn a regular mouth guard, the fitting process is pretty much the same. It uses the boil and bite fit. You just boil your mouth piece in water for 45 seconds, remove from the water and allow it to cool for 15 seconds. You then place it in the mouth of the person the mouthpiece is intended for. In my case, it’s for my oldest son for baseball. He bites down and forms it then place in cold water for 10 minutes. the Armourbite comes with instructions that are easy to follow.
My son is currently in wrestling for winter sports but this mouth piece is not intended for contact sports. This would be more for baseball, soccer, tennis, workouts, lifting, things of that nature. Under Armour does make a protective mouthpiece however for contact sports with the same technology idea. My son is looking forward to trying this mouth piece out for baseball. He wore it around the house for a bit and told me it felt comfortable.
Under Armour mouth pieces are available on bitetech.com there are several types including one for people with braces. The Armourbite I reviewed her is latex free.
