Valley Dental Health is an authorized provider for Under Armour Performance Mouthwear™. We offer high-quality, custom-fit mouth protection for active kids and adults.
Not all mouthguards are created equal. Uncomfortable or ill-fitting mouthguards provide inadequate protection and, in many cases, aren’t worn properly. That means that they can’t be effective. Plus, if you’re more worried about how your mouthguard feels in your mouth, you can’t focus on the game.
UA Performance Mouthwear is an elite product that enhances performance and protects teeth. Our office offers custom mouthguards as a general dentistry service to new and existing patients in Hunt Valley, Maryland.
One of the most important pieces of sports equipment that you or your child should be “sporting” is a custom-fit sports mouthguard. Valley Dental Health is an authorized provider of the Under Armour Performance Mouthguard. A custom-fit mouthguard offers the maximum protection available. Patients agree that it’s more comfortable to wear than over-the-counter options.
Designed to fit snugly over your teeth, the UA Performance mouthguard also helps reduce jaw clenching that typically happens when wearing a poor-fitting mouthguard. Why waste energy holding your mouthguard in place when it can be used to improve your on-field performance! It is especially important for patients wearing braces, or a dental appliance, to avoid damage to both the appliance and the soft tissues of the mouth.
What Is Under Armour Mouthwear™?
It’s natural to clench whenever you train or compete. ArmourBite® is uniquely shaped to help you maintain optimal spacing and counteract the negative effects of clenching.
The multi-patented performance technology reduces stress and opens airways to improve airflow. This helps you perform better as an athlete.
Under Armour Mouthguards Are Proven To:
- Increase strength and endurance
- Speed up reaction time
- Reduce stress
- Reduce impact
Types Of Under Armour Mouthguards
Valley Dental Health offers two types of UA Performance Mouthwear™:
- The ArmourBite® Mouthguard: This custom-made sports mouthguard is created by taking impressions of your upper and lower teeth. The process for impressions takes about 15 minutes and is completely painless. These high-quality performance mouthguards are great for all types of athletes and provide superior mouth protection for contact sports like football, hockey, and lacrosse. The ArmourBite® is equipped with patented technology that makes it very durable while still offering a comfortable bite and allowing the athlete to talk and breathe easily.
- The ArmourBite® Mouthpiece: This cost-effective mouthguard works like other “boil and bite” mouthguards. However, it’s specially designed to reduce stress on the jaw joints and open the airway. The Under Armour Mouthpiece is best for young athletes and limited-contact sports such as running, soccer, baseball, golf, tennis, and strength training. The ArmourBite® Mouthpiece is made with patented technology to make it more durable than other mouthguards on the market. The athlete can clench their teeth without damaging them and still be able to breathe optimally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose a custom Under Armour mouthguard over store-bought ones?
Store-bought mouthguards often fit poorly and feel uncomfortable, making athletes less likely to wear them properly. Our custom Under Armour mouthguards are molded exactly to your teeth for maximum protection and comfort. They stay securely in place so you can focus on your game instead of adjusting your mouthguard. Plus, they’re made with special technology that actually helps improve athletic performance.
How does the ArmourBite technology help me play better?
The ArmourBite design helps in several important ways. It positions your jaw in an optimal way to reduce stress when you clench during competition. This design also opens your airway slightly so you can breathe easier during intense activity. Many athletes notice they have better endurance and faster reaction times when using these mouthguards.
What’s the difference between the Mouthguard and Mouthpiece options?
We use dental impressions of your mouth so the mouthguard fits perfectly for maximum protection. The Mouthpiece is a “boil-and-bite” style that’s more affordable and great for sports like soccer or baseball. Both use the same ArmourBite technology but offer different levels of customization and protection.
How long does it take to get a custom Under Armour mouthguard?
The entire process is quick and easy. We take digital impressions of your teeth in about 15 minutes during one short visit. Then the mouthguard is custom-made in a lab and usually ready within 1-2 weeks. You’ll come back for a quick fitting to make sure it’s perfectly comfortable before using it in games.
Can I wear a mouthguard if I have braces?
Yes! In fact, mouthguards are especially important for athletes with braces. Our custom Under Armour mouthguards fit over braces comfortably while protecting both your teeth and the braces themselves. We can even make adjustments if your braces treatment progresses and the fit changes.
How do I clean and care for my Under Armour mouthguard?
Clean your mouthguard after each use with cool water and mild soap. Store it in the protective case when not in use. Avoid leaving it in hot places like your car dashboard. Heat can warp the material and make it unusable. Bring it to your dental visits so we can check the fit and condition.
Will the mouthguard make it hard to breathe or talk during games?
Not at all! The ArmourBite technology is specially designed to keep open airways while wearing it. Many athletes say they can breathe better compared to regular mouthguards. The custom fit also allows for clear communication with teammates during play.
How often should I replace my sports mouthguard?
We recommend replacing your custom mouthguard every 1-2 seasons, or sooner if you notice wear and tear. Growing athletes may need replacements more often as their mouths develop. The Mouthpiece version should be replaced every season since it’s not custom-fitted.
Can adults benefit from performance mouthguards too?
Absolutely! While we often think of mouthguards for youth sports, adult athletes in contact sports or intense training benefit just as much. The performance advantages and teeth protection are valuable at any age. Many professional athletes use this same technology.
Does insurance cover the cost of performance mouthguards?
Some dental insurance plans cover part of the cost, especially if you have orthodontics. We’ll help check your benefits and explain all payment options. Even without insurance, the protection and performance benefits make it a smart investment for serious athletes.
