The SISU™ Mouth Guard was originally developed in the operating room where Dr. Jan Akervall, MD, PhD used the

material to protect his patients’ teeth during endoscopic procedures with heavy instruments. The ordinary mouth guards that were available to the doctors were just in-ferior and Dr. Akervall was not happy about what he had to use. Instead he set out to develop something better and came up with the SISU™ Mouth Guard. It worked so well that now, some 1000 surgeries later, there still hasn’t been a single broken tooth. Knowing how well SISU™ Mouth Guard protected teeth; it was a fairly easy decision to bring this superior mouth guard to the sports market where it has received raving review for the last couple of years.

SISUTM offers significantly better protection against dental injury

Since the 1950’s, mouth guard technology has been based on a thick, rubbery polymer where the idea was to embed the teeth in as much material as possible. Of course, with this followed garbled speech, shortage of breath, and the constant handling of the piece in and out of the mouth, which frequently spread bacteria from hands to mouth.

Luckily, science has since progressed. It is now time for a new mouth guard.

The SISU™ Mouth Guard

Superior Dental Injury Protection

Thanks to revolutionary technology, our mouth guards offer:

° Decreased force transfer

° Increased force absorption

° Less deformation under impact

° Increased tensile strength

In addition, the perforations of the SISU™ material facilitate the fitting process. When the user molds the material to the teeth, he or she will create suction through the perfora-tions, which results in a very snug fit. During practices and games, water and saliva easily pass through the mouth guard as well.

This all makes the SISU™ Mouth Guard very comfortable. Athletes can talk, drink and breathe easily without removing the mouth guard with dirty hands. This is also why you the mouth guard with dirty hands. This is also why you wouldn’t find any bacteria on SISU™ – athletes just don’t wouldn’t find any bacteria on SISU™ – athletes just don’t take it out. It’s that comfortable and gives an extra upper take it out. It’s that comfortable and gives an extra upper hand when the flu and cold season sets in.

SISU™ is a novel ultra thin and tough mouth guard that is up to 50% stronger than conventional mouth guards and allows users to breathe, talk and drink. It’s the perfect mouth guard for high impact sports, team sports and high performance sports where you need to be able to be at your very best, all the time.the time.

A study of 2,000 Swedish hockey players showed that 35% of them had dental injuries, despite wearing mandatory mouth guards. Conventional soft mouth guards are simply not tough enough and in addition they are too uncomfortable and inhibiting to the game.

American Dental Association (ADA) calculates the lifetime cost of an injured tooth to $15-20,000. At a very affordable price, you will get much better protection that custom fits to your teeth in minutes.teeth in minutes.

Introducing SISU™ 1.6 and 2.4 Mouth Guards

Four Strong Reasons to Choose SISU™

Our competitors claim that they not only provide dental protection but also protect against concussions. Unfortunately the science behind these claims is rather weak.

Alt BIf you are helping someone

SISU™ Mouth Guard was developed by an Ear, Nose and Throat physician, an engineering professor, an orthodon-tist and a pediatrician. This unique team explored multiple aspects of teeth protection — including strength, comfort, and fitting — and peformed scientific testing in developing a superior device. Engineering tests showed between 30-50% better protection than conventional mouth guards, with SISU™ Mouth Guard being only millimeters thin. For more scientific data and clinical test results, go to our web-site www.sisuguard.com

Instructions

6. Fermez les lèvres sur le protège-dents et créer une légère succion afin que le matériau durcisse. Ceci assurera un ajustement confortable en l’espace d’une minute. Si vous n’êtes pas satisfait avec le résultat remettez le protège-dents dans l’eau et recommencer.

Instructions

6. Close the lips over the mouth guard and gently create suc-tion until the material has hardened. This will ensure a snug fit within a minute or so. If you are not satisfied with the result just slip the mouth guard back in the water, let it soften and straighten out and then start over.

1. Wash your hands and the material with soap and water.

2. Heat water to about 130°F (54°C) for example in a kettle, on the stove top or in a micro wave oven. Immerse the mouth guard in hot but not boiling water until the material becomes soft and pliable. Then lift up the material with a fork or your fingers. Please note that the colored mouth guard may take a little longer to soften.

3. Hold the soft material as shown in the picture. DO NOT LET IT FOLD!

4. Bite down gently on the solid front bar and press the tongue against the material to hold it in place.

5. Use a mirror. Mold it against the front of the teeth with your fingertips and up on the sides to the gum line to create the shield. Make sure most of the material is on the outside of the teeth and covers all of them.

1. Lavez vos mains et le matérial avec eau et savon.

2. Chauffez de l’eau à environ 130 degrés F (54°C). Immergez le protège-dents dans l’eau chaude mais non bouillante jusqu’à ce que le matérial devienne doux et malléable. Alors prendre celui-ci avec une fourchette ou les doigts. Veuillez noter que le protège-dents coloré prend un peu plus de temps à ramollir.

3. Tenir le matériau tel qu’indiqué sur la photo. NE LE PLIEZ PAS!

Si vous le faites vous-même

Si vous aidez quelqu’un

4. Mordre doucement et pousser avec la langue contre le matérial pour le garder en place.

5. Utilisez un miroir. Moulez contre les dents avant avec le bout des doigts et sur les côtés de votre gencive pour créer une protection. Assurez-vous que le matériel soit à l’extérieur de vos dents et les couvre toutes.

Avertissement• Si vous portez des appareils dentaires, vous devez faire ajuster

votre protège-dents SISU par votre orthodontiste. • N’étirez pas trop le matérial lorsqu’il est mou. Ceci pourrait

amincir le matérial et diminuer la force du protège-dents.• Ne pas surchauffer le protège-dents (au-dessus de 170F)• Protégez de la chaleur, tel les tableaux de bord de l’auto.• Les adultes devraient superviser les enfants durant la procé-

dure d’ajustement.• Faites attention si vous avez du poli à ongles ou des ongles

artificiels. Le protège-dents ramolli pourrait coller sur ces surfaces.

• Evitez les situations qui pourraient favoriser d’inhaler ou d’avaler le protège-dents.

Nettoyage et rangementVotre protège-dents peut aussi être brossé avec une brosse à dent et du dentifrice. Rincez-le soigneusement et sécher avant de le ranger dans un endroit sec à température de la pièce.
