Mouthguards in general are made from different types of chemicals that are part of the polymers and that are commonly; we call plastics. These polymers are moldable when exposed to high temperatures (hot) and this allows the protector to adapt to the athlete's tissues individually.

However, the polymers can release chemicals that can affect the health of athletes since they will carry it in their mouth and therefore in contact with the dental tissues and with the saliva of the patients which they swallow. Some of the harmful chemical compounds released by mouthguards are: phthalate, PVC, Bisphenol, and latex. We must keep in mind that 10% of the world's population is allergic to latex. On the other hand, the chemical compounds phthalate, bisphenol and PVC affect the endocrine system and cause different types of cancer. For this reason, it is very important that you require that the mouthguard you are going to purchase has been evaluated with laboratory research and clinical research since entities such as INVIMA approve the marketing of all types of products, but especially if these products are in contact with the human beings; since in this way they can affect the health of users or the population that uses said product. Our MID mouthguards - @sisuguard CONTAIN NO. phthalate, bisphenol, PVC, or latex.
