NeuroGuard+ is an innovative lower-fitting performance mouthguard designed to help stabilize the jaw while protecting the teeth and mouth. Unlike traditional upper mouthguards, NeuroGuard+ allows athletes to breathe, speak, and perform more naturally while helping manage impact forces.
Why does NeuroGuard+ fit on the lower teeth?
NeuroGuard+ is designed to position the jaw in its physiologic position while leaving the upper teeth unobstructed. Most athletes find it more comfortable than traditional upper mouthguards and appreciate the ability to breathe and communicate more easily.
How is NeuroGuard+ different from a traditional mouthguard?
Traditional mouthguards primarily protect the teeth and mouth. NeuroGuard+ is designed to also:
Help stabilize the jaw
Allow easier breathing and communication
Stay comfortably in place
Support balance, strength, and athletic performance
Help manage impact-related forces
Does NeuroGuard+ cover all the lower teeth?
No. NeuroGuard+ is intentionally designed to fit securely without covering every lower tooth. As long as it stays comfortably in place, it is fitting properly.
Can I wear NeuroGuard+ with an upper mouthguard?
No. NeuroGuard+ is designed to be worn by itself on the lower teeth.
Is NeuroGuard+ made in the USA?
Yes. Every NeuroGuard+ is proudly manufactured in the state of Michigan.
Why do professional and elite athletes choose NeuroGuard+?
Elite athletes are always looking for every possible advantage. Many choose NeuroGuard+ because its lower-fitting design allows them to breathe more naturally, communicate more clearly, and maintain a stable jaw position while competing. They also appreciate its comfort, which makes them more likely to wear it throughout practices and games.
Is NeuroGuard+ good for quarterbacks, goalies, catchers, point guards, and other athletes who constantly communicate?
Absolutely. Because NeuroGuard+ fits on the lower teeth, athletes often find it much easier to speak, call plays, communicate with teammates, and breathe naturally than with traditional upper mouthguards.
Why does NeuroGuard+ cost more than a typical mouthguard?
Unlike traditional mouthguards that are designed primarily to protect the teeth, NeuroGuard+ is a patented lower-fitting performance mouthguard engineered to support jaw stabilization, comfort, communication, and athletic performance. It is manufactured using premium materials and is backed by years of development and independent research.
For many athletes and parents, the investment goes beyond purchasing a mouthguard, it's an investment in comfort, confidence, and performance every time they step onto the field, rink, or court.
When compared to the cost of helmets, shoulder pads, skates, sticks, bats, gloves, registration fees, travel, and tournament expenses, NeuroGuard+ represents one of the smallest and yet most valuable investments an athlete can make in their equipment.
Is NeuroGuard+ worth it if my athlete has never had a concussion?
Absolutely. Most athletes have never experienced a concussion, until they do. NeuroGuard+ is designed to support athlete safety and performance before an injury occurs, not after.
Just as athletes wear helmets, seat belts, and other protective equipment without expecting to need them, NeuroGuard+ is intended to be part of a proactive approach to sports safety. Parents, coaches, and athletes choose NeuroGuard+ because they want every reasonable advantage when it comes to protecting the brain, improving comfort, and helping athletes perform at their best.
While no mouthguard or piece of equipment can prevent every concussion, NeuroGuard+ is designed to help manage impact-related forces while allowing athletes to breathe, communicate, and compete with confidence.
Performance & Safety
Does NeuroGuard+ improve athletic performance?
Many athletes report improvements in breathing, communication, balance, stability, strength, and overall comfort while wearing NeuroGuard+. Individual results will vary.
What independent research has been conducted?
Independent research led by internationally recognized concussion scientist Dr. Alan Pearce found favorable reductions in head acceleration and better preservation of certain measures of brain function following repetitive head impacts when compared with both a traditional upper mouthguard and no mouthguard. There are numerous other studies and whitepapers supporting NG+.
Can I speak and breathe normally?
Yes. Because NeuroGuard+ fits on the lower teeth, athletes can typically breathe more naturally and communicate much more clearly than with traditional upper mouthguards.
Who can benefit from NeuroGuard+?
NeuroGuard+ is designed for athletes of all ages participating in football, hockey, lacrosse, rugby, wrestling, soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, and many other contact or collision sports.
Is NeuroGuard+ only for athletes?
No. In addition to athletes, NeuroGuard+ has been used by military personnel, law enforcement officers, first responders, and others who may be exposed to repetitive impacts or physically demanding environments.
Fitting & Care
Is NeuroGuard+ custom fit?
Yes. NeuroGuard+ uses a simple boil-and-fit (not bite!) process that creates a secure, personalized fit in just a few minutes.
Is it normal for NeuroGuard+ to shrink during fitting?
Yes. Slight shrinking is part of the fitting process and helps create a secure custom fit.
Can I remold my NeuroGuard+?
Yes. If you're not satisfied with the initial fit, NeuroGuard+ can usually be reheated and remolded by following the fitting instructions again. FYI, it is common that it looks a bit off, maybe a fold, but the important thing is for it to fit on top of the lower teeth.
Can NeuroGuard+ be worn with braces?
Yes. NeuroGuard+ can be molded over braces. Because teeth move throughout orthodontic treatment, we recommend replacing your NeuroGuard+ once braces are removed.
How long does NeuroGuard+ last?
With proper care, NeuroGuard+ typically lasts an entire season. Growing athletes should replace it annually or anytime the fit changes.
How do I clean NeuroGuard+?
Rinse with cool water after each use. Periodically clean it with mild soap or a mouthguard cleaner, allow it to air dry completely, and store it in the protective case.
Can I drink water while wearing NeuroGuard+?
Yes. Drinking water while wearing NeuroGuard+ is perfectly safe and helps athletes stay hydrated during practices and games.
Will it work if I have missing teeth, crowns, implants, or other dental work?
In many cases, yes. Because every athlete's dental situation is unique, we recommend consulting your dentist before use if you have significant dental work. If you have questions about your specific situation, our team is happy to help.

Rules & Compliance
Is NeuroGuard+ approved for high school football?
Yes. NeuroGuard+ meets current NFHS requirements and is approved for use in high school football.
My league says I have to wear an upper mouthguard. What should I do?
Many youth leagues continue to use older rule books or have not yet updated their equipment policies. Before assuming NeuroGuard+ is not allowed, please have your coach, athletic director, or league administrator contact us directly. We are happy to provide information regarding current NFHS rules, answer questions, and work directly with league officials to help them understand NeuroGuard+.
Can I order NeuroGuard+ with a lanyard?
Yes. A removable lanyard is available if your youth league requires one. However, because NeuroGuard+ fits securely on the lower teeth, most athletes do not need one, and we recommend against it unless absolutely necessary.
How do I install the lanyard?
Please read the instructions included with your order. Insert the lanyard before fitting the mouthguard. The retaining tabs should snap securely into place before boiling so the lanyard molds with the mouthguard during the fitting process.
