Dr. Michael Hutchison is a pioneering figure at the intersection of neuromuscular dentistry, sports science, and concussion prevention, and is a nationally recognized cosmetic dentist and visionary innovator in sports safety and performance technology.

With over 30 years of clinical experience, Dr. Hutchison became an accredited member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) in 2001 — one of only 250 worldwide at the time.

After earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Loyola University’s Dental School in 1987, he practiced in LaGrange, Illinois for a decade before expanding his focus to include the neuromuscular and neurological aspects of dentistry.

Driven by a deep concern for athlete safety and long-term brain health, Dr. Hutchison pioneered the creation of NeuroGuard+ — a first-of-its-kind mouthguard designed to reduce concussion risk while enhancing performance through optimized jaw alignment.

By combining his expertise in cosmetic and neuromuscular dentistry with breakthrough impact-absorption technology, he has redefined what a mouthguard can be: not just protective gear, but a tool for neurological stability and peak performance.

Today, athletes across sports — from hockey to football to bull riding — trust NeuroGuard+ as part of their safety and performance toolkit. Dr. Hutchison continues to lead the charge at the intersection of dentistry, innovation, and human performance.
