TWG Sports has launched a patent-pending line of mouthguards designed to provide added concussion protection during contact sports with a self-aligning system.
The TWG-X was designed by Michael Wright, DDS, a Bethesda, MD-based dentist, using the same principles of stability and thickness widely used by the dental community, according to the company.
Dr. Wright designed the mouthguard after he saw the need for an improved guard when treating and rehabilitating previously injured professional and amateur athletes in his practice. Due to time or financial constraints, many did not have custom mouthguards fabricated in a dental office as recommended and had opted for over-the-counter mouthguards.
To coincide with his product launch, Dr. Wright is also launching a concussion safety awareness campaign this summer, in which he will give lectures to various groups regarding mouthguard safety.
