Powered by Bite Tech Technology

All of UnderArmour’s Performance Mouthwear—mouthguards and mouthpieces—are built on Bite Tech technology. This patented technology works by alleviating the pressure on the temporomandibular joint, preventing you from clenching your jaw. Because you can’t clench your teeth together, your brain doesn’t send the signal to your body to release hormones associated with stress. The end result? You get to perform to your full potential.

Hundreds of professional athletes count on UnderArmour’s Performance Mouthwear to help protect their teeth and help them perform to their potential. And the Mouthwear is also recommended by trainers and coaches, as well as dentists! In fact, the performance-enhancing qualities of Performance Mouthwear have been discussed in peer-reviewed journals; you can read the reports about the science behind the Bite Tech technology here.

Fitting Your Performance Mouthwear

We’ll make impressions of your teeth (top and bottom) and will also take a bite impression to ensure an optimal fit. After getting your impressions finished, we’ll call you when your Performance Mouthwear is ready for you to pick up—usually around 10 days from when it was ordered. 

Customization and Care

Have a favorite sports team, or want to honor your own team? UnderArmour’s Performance Mouthwear can be customized with decals and/or colored bitepads. And UnderArmour Performance Mouthwear is as tough as you are—for most folks, one mouthguard or mouthpiece will last an entire season, assuming you don’t chew on it or have some sort of drastic changes to your teeth or jaw in the interim.
