NEW YORK (Dec 19, 2017) – GuardLab®, a custom mouthguard brand known for using innovative 3D digital scanning and 3D printing technology, announces today its latest product developments, the APEX
Boil and Bite Mouthguard and Digitized At-Home Impression Kits. Both new product designs are revolutionary and use GuardLab’s knowledge, experience and key learnings gained from thousands of digital scans for its industry-renowned neuromuscular mouthguard, the ARCPRO Guard.
“Through our loyal customers, our brand has become synonymous with the highest quality, accuracy, and protection for amateur and professional athletes” said GuardLab CEO, Aidan Butler. “We especially wanted to create a better boil and bite for the younger athletes and their parents, with an easy-fit design for enhanced protection and comfort. Our patent-pending APEX Guard is an exciting solution with pre-indented teeth marks that will meld around your teeth much quicker, and therefore, feels more comfortable like a custom-fit product.”
For added customer enjoyment, the APEX Guard is also customizable, with optional logos, numbers and full wrap designs, plus it’s made in the USA with TRAUMASHIELD – GuardLab’s shock absorbent material.
The new Digitized At-Home Impression Kits are designed for athletes who don’t have a nearby Scanning location yet, or simply prefer to do a self-impression from the comfort of their own home. Through GuardLab’s expertise and efficiency in technology, they will be replacing traditional stone and putty models with digitized files for improved accuracy and quicker replacements.
GuardLab will continue to offer 3D Scan appointments at GuardLab Dentists, on-location Scan Events and GuardLab scan sites (opening in 2018), making GuardLab more accessible to adult and youth athletes, everywhere. GuardLab’s ARC (Alignment Repositioning Cushion) can provide better head balance, enhanced oxygenation, and lessened TMJ tension during competition and training, and its neuromuscular design can only be acquired through 3D imaging and a Certified GuardLab provider.
All custom GuardLab products are available online at guardlab.com. A growing list of products are available on Amazon.com and with exclusive retailers and gyms.
