Brain-Pad Mouth Guards for Concussion Protection Field-Tested by Athletes in the NFL, NCAA and Minor Leagues

Conshohocken, PA, January 14, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Brain-Pad® athletic mouth guards with patented technology and a dual-protection system, are being field-tested by athletes at every level of contact sports programs. Brain-Pad mouth guards are tested and proven to reduce impact energy at the base of the skull and brain by keeping the lower jaw stabilized in a position that decreases the likelihood of basal skull concussions and TMJ injuries.

As Congress prepares to examine the issue of concussions in the NFL, NCAA, and high school sports for the second time, a Pennsylvania company has been making and selling a mouth guard designed to protect players from the probability of a concussion caused by lower jaw impact.

“I treat many athletes looking for teeth, mouth and jaw protection,” says Dr. Robert B. Mongrain, DMD. “I recommend Brain-Pad to all my patients who play contact sports. Protecting the lower jaw and TMJ joints is critical to minimize the risks of potential concussions. I am glad to see that institutions like the NFL and Congress are finally taking a serious look at the dangers of these injuries, with emphasis on protection and recovery.”

Unlike traditional mouth guards that offer only upper or lower teeth protection, Brain-Pad’s dual arch, bi-molar, mouth guards do much more. This technology secures the lower jaw, while protecting all teeth. The jaw is stabilized in a neutral position, creating a safety space that greatly reduces the risk of jaw impact concussions and TMJ injuries. Brain-Pad mouth guards also open the airway in the throat 100 percent, allowing users a serious competitive advantage.

“We have said for years that concussions are serious injuries and should be avoided at all costs,” says Joe Manzo, President of Brain-Pad. “The devastating effects of concussions can have a lasting impact on athletes and their families. We have designed these mouth guards specifically to protect the jaw-joint and base of skull - The most vulnerable and unprotected area for athletes. When used properly, there is a 40 percent reduction of impact energy to the base of the skull. Athletes from the NFL, the MMA, and professional to youth leagues recognize the significant health benefits our Brain-Pad mouth guards offer to protect against these dangerous injuries.”

Brain-Pad mouth guards are available at leading athletic retailers including Wal-Mart® stores nationwide, and retail between $7 and $30 based on the model.
