Review:

The AIRWAAV Performance Mouthpiece is scientifically proven to increase your strength and endurance by directing your tongue forward to create an optimal airway opening. The AIRWAAV mouthpiece is manufactured by Game On Mouthguards, it represents 15 years of research and development that was performed by athletes and cadets at the Citadel in Charleston, SC. If you really want to see the research follow this link to the AIRWAAV website and read it for yourself.

I didn't try this mouthpiece myself, I gave it to my 20 year old son to use for lifting weights. He plays college football and was actually excited to try it. After using it for the first time he gave me some feedback. He indicated that he seemed to focus on his breathing more than the lifting part and definitely lifted more total weight. He said he lifted 10-15 more pounds than he normally would with each different upper and lower body exercise he did. Is this the placebo effect? not sure, but even if it is, everyone who lifts weights should focus on their breathing and wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth. Check out my blog article, Why you should wear a mouthguard when lifting weights.

I was a little skeptical of this product and I really couldn't go off of just one persons (my son) experience, so I read a bunch of the Amazon reviews. After reading all of the positive reviews on Amazon and hearing my sons results, I am a believer. I will be purchasing the AIRWAAV for myself in the near future for bicycling and jogging. I will update the review after I try it out.

You will have to fit this mouthpiece but it is very simple, you simply wrap the mouthpiece in a wet paper towel and microwave it. The mouthpiece also comes with an awesome carrying case that has a carabiner to attach to your athletic bag.

Pros + :

• Made with Vistamaxx, which is hydrophobic (wont absorb bacteria)

• Comes with an awesome carrying case

• Increases strength, endurance and recovery times

• Isn't bulky or obtrusive

• Easy microwave fitting process

Cons - :

• NONE

HOW I (The Author) TEST MOUTHGUARDS & WHY I CAN BE TRUSTED

My name is Ken Mitchell. I Have been fabricating custom mouthguards for more than 15 years and have been a dental technician for over 20 years. I also, have owned my own dental laboratory for over 20 years.

Besides having work experience with mouthguards, I know first hand the importance of mouthguards in the sports world. I have played several sports throughout my life at the hight school level, including basketball, football, baseball and beach volleyball. I am also a father to two sons and a daughter who have played Soccer, Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Lacrosse and Baseball ever since they were in the first grade. From time to time I have used my children to test mouthguards to get a first-hand, real-world experience with custom mouthguards and store bought mouthguards.

I search for every mouthguard on the market. Then, I purchase (with my own funds) every mouthguard I review through places like Amazon, eBay or directly from the manufacturer, just like you would, then evaluate every mouthguard based on my expert opinion. I also comb the internet to find other reviews on durability to develop a better understanding of specific mouthguards pros and cons over an extended period of time.

Every mouthguard I review, is fitted and examined by me. The only time a mouthguard is fitted by another person besides me, would be my son, who plays college football. I use him mainly to fit and use mouthguards for weight training and football.

When I review a mouthguard it must pass certain criteria to rank in my top 10.

• FIT- I believe this is the most important factor in evaluating a mouthguard, because without a tight fit, all of the other criteria can be thrown out the window. When wearing a mouthguard you shouldn't have to clench your teeth to stop the mouthguard from falling out. It should fit as tight as possible.

• Comfort- Comfort goes hand in hand with the fit, if the the mouthguard is comfortable you wont get distracted by focusing on your mouthguard, instead you will be focused on the game and perform at your highest level.

• Protection/Tooth Coverage- With advancement in materials, mouthguards that are thick, aren't necessarily more protective than thinner mouthguards. Brands like SISU and Game On, provide thinner mouthguards that are 40-100% stronger than EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) that is used by most mouthguard manufacturers. A proper fitting mouthguard should cover at least your first molars to provide adequate protection. A mouthguard shouldn't extend past your second molar because it could trigger the gag reflex. Also, your mouthguard should cover your gums or the roots of your teeth.

• Sport- Almost every mouthguard on the market is made for use in multiple sports but there are a few mouthguards that are designed for weight training or exercising. I will break down which sport each mouthguard is better for.

• Design- I examine the color variations available and the overall design of the mouthguard, the bells and whistles if you will.

• Fitting process- Most boil-n-bite mouthguards are fitted with the same process, although some fitting processes are more uncomfortable than others.

Remember to always take into consideration that every mouthguard may not suit your specific requirements. Each person is different and everyone's mouth is unique to that person. The Mouthguard Review can only evaluate the initial fit of a mouthguard and only "real world" use can show long term durability and other design flaws.

*The Mouthguard Review has no connection to any mouthguard manufacturer and has no financial incentive to rate any brand over another. All of the reviews are written and performed by one person and are 100% unbiased.
