Behold the hole-y mouthguard!

Who doesn't love a good pun? But all jokes aside, have you looked at a SISU Mouthguard and wondered, "what's up with these little holes?" No other mouthguard has holes in it. So, why the perforations?

The little holes in SISU Guards serve three important functions:

Diffuse Force of Impact

When you catch a blow to the mouth, the perforations oscillate under impact, setting off the the first step in the chain reaction of Diffusix™ technology.  The force of impact is diffused through the surface of the guard, away from the teeth and into scientifically designed crumple zones, where it is absorbed into the material. This is how SISU is able to protect your teeth up to 50% better than other mouth guards. 




Custom Fit

During the last steps of fitting the guard, you are going to close your mouth and suck out all of the air between your teeth and the SISU. As you suck the air out through the holes, the guard custom seals around your teeth, creating a perfect fit. In fact, you shouldn't be able to take the guard out without using your fingers to physically snap it off your teeth. That's why SISU can be worn throughout the entire game or practice without taking it out even once - which is why you don't need a teather to attach your guard to your helmet.  It is a scientific fact that no mouthguard protects your teeth while it's hanging off of your helmet on a teather. With a SISU, you just keep it in your mouth, where it's protecting your teeth.

Talk. Breathe. Drink.

The holes allow for the natural flow of air and saliva. Combined with the snug fit, perforations ensure that you can clearly communicate with your teammates on the field, breathe naturally for best performance and stay hydrated without ever taking your guard out of your mouth. 

Using revolutionary Diffusix™ technology, completed with unique perforations, SISU™ mouthguards are 8 times tougher and 30-50% stronger than conventional mouthguards. You’ll be able to start each game with confidence, knowing that no matter how tough the game gets, your SISU™ is there to protect you.
