Why GRiT Should Be Your Next Mouthguard Purchase

A new school year is fast approaching.  Big box stores are advertising their back-to-school sales with the latest discounts on backpacks, shoes, folders, and accessories.  A few chains even advertise discounts on equipment for athletes returning to the field, the court, and the mat.  But do you know which one to choose?  

Most store flyers you find in your mailbox offer boil-and-bite mouthguards, with the promise that you will be awarded with the same amount of protection that a custom mouthguard has to offer - without spending more than a few bucks!  

Are you buying that?  

GRiT MouthGuards doesn't.  In fact, they may be the only dental laboratory that doesn't offer boil-and-bites in their store.  They're not looking to make a quick buck on cheap throwaway "mouthguards" as they know the dental protection just isn't there.  

So, which mouthguard is right for you?  Here are a few things to consider before making your purchase.   

Protection.  GRiT mouthguards are dentist prescribed, lab designed.  Each is created based on the sport(s) being played, age of the athlete, level of competition, orthodontics, mixed dentition, clefts, missing teeth, and anatomical variations.  

Boil-and-bites are one size fits all, boiled in a hot pot of water on your stove at home, and normally come with just one simple color and a simple logo (if any graphics at all).   

Custom fit.  Unlike a boil-and-bite, a custom GRiT mouthguard is made from a model of your actual teeth.  This avoids the "clenching" of the mouthguard that comes with a boil-and-bite and allows you to focus on your athletic performance - and not worrying about whether or not your mouthguard will stay in your mouth.  

Custom design.  With GRiT mouthguards, the graphic designs are limitless!  Go to gritmouthguards.com, click on "Place Your Order," and you will see the order form is filled to the brim with color choices and layouts.    

Competitive pricing.  GRiT is competitive (and fair) when it comes to pricing.  If you think spending $100 to $200 on a mouthguard is expensive, wait until you have to pay $1000's in dental bills for having a tooth knocked out!  It's a chance most parents and athletes do not want to take. 

GRiT mouthguards is actively involved online!  Visit them on social media at Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr; or place your order via their website at www.gritmouthguards.com.  

It's time for everyone to "Get a GRiT on Themselves!"
