HOW IT WORKS When you train and compete, your natural reaction is to clench your jaw. It's part of the "fight or flight" wiring of your brain. Your clenched jaw and teeth compress your temporomandibular joint (TMJ), triggering your brain to release an excess amount of performance-sapping hormones (like cortisol) that produces stress, fatigue and distraction. Under Armour performance mouthware helps the human body help itself. ArmourBite™ technology prevents your teeth from clenching and pivots the jaw forward to relieve pressure on the TMJ, avoiding excess negative hormones and energy-draining effects so the body can now unleash its full potential.

- Increases strength with improved airflow and less
stress from clenching.
- Increases endurance—enlarges airway openings,
resulting in 25% less lactic acid build-up after 30
minutes of intense exercise.
- Speeds up reaction time—clinical trials show an
improvement in responding to auditory cues and
potential improvement in response to visual cues.
- Reduces athletic stress—decreases cortisol
production which reduces stress fatigue and
distraction caused by excess cortisol.
- Reduces impact (mouthguard) and shown to reduce
the G-force impact of blows to the jaw by up to 20%.
