What is performance enhancement?
Studies show the EDGE increases strength and endurance, lowers heart rate and reduces stress,* increases concentration and awareness,** and unlocks the body’s true potential. In fact, independent research across multiple studies shows the EDGE can increase strength by up to 20%.
*Research by a major university.
**Research by an independent panel of doctors.

Is performance enhancement a new idea?
The phenomenon that a properly positioned jaw can lead to peak performance is not new. History and folklore are full of examples, from Roman legionnaires biting down on a leather strap before going into battle to Civil War soldiers biting the bullet to endure surgery. But it wasn’t until the 1950s, when an All American football player’s equilibrium was restored using the device, that scientists began to study the phenomena and confirm the results.

Is the EDGE for real?
EDGE performance enhancement has been tested and supported by independent research across a variety of scientific studies. In the most exhaustive study to date, a major university has shown that the EDGE increases strength by up to 20%, even in non-contact sports like golf and tennis. No wonder so many pro athletes are using it.

How does the EDGE differ from mouthguards?
Mouthguards provide protection. The EDGE does more: It enhances performance and protection. The EDGE is not only backed by some of the biggest names in pro sports. It’s also recommended by dentists, pro trainers, strength coaches and wellness experts nationwide.

What if I don’t play a contact sport?
Think of the EDGE as the cross-trainer for your mouth. Just as there are different shoes for different sports, there are custom versions of the EDGE for every sport. EDGE Performance devices are recommended for non-contact sports.

Why is the EDGE more expensive?
The EDGE isn’t just another mouthguard. It’s a whole new category of sports equipment: performance enhancing. Years of research and development have gone into its advanced design and technology, with every detail precision engineered to help prevent career-ending concussions.

Does the EDGE provide better protection?
Yes! The EDGE protects the front, middle and back of your jaw. In front a shock absorbing bumper shields the teeth from direct impact while helping prevent laceration to the lips, tongue, cheeks and gums. In the middle padding under the molars transfers the force of impact energy away from the brain, helping prevent concussions. In back a stabilizing wedge helps prevent fractures, dislocations and other injuries. With its anti-microbial material, the EDGE even protects against the growth of germs.

Can the EDGE help prevent concussions?
One in 10 high school students who play contact sports sustain a concussion each year. The EDGE is specifically designed to help you avoid a career-ending concussion. By transferring the force of impact energy away from the brain, the EDGE helps prevent concussions.

What is the Power-Safety Position?
The Power-Safety Position is the key to unlocking the body’s true potential. By keeping the lower jaw slightly down and forward, the EDGE relieves pressure within the Temporomandibular Joint (TM Joint). This allows vital oxygen-rich blood to flow freely to the brain, creating the conditions for peak performance.

How does the EDGE work?
Ever notice what happens during moments of extreme physical exertion? You jaw clenches shut, inhibiting the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the brain. Like a pinched garden hose, this can diminish performance. By guiding the jaw into the Power-Safety Position, the EDGE counteracts this negative physiological effect, allowing vital oxygen-rich blood to flow freely to the brain.

Is the EDGE a new technology?
Yes! The EDGE fits more comfortably with less material than anything else on the market. The multi-composite, thermoplastic design conforms to the unique shape and contour of your mouth. By fitting snugly around the upper teeth, the EDGE offers maximum safety, comfort and protection.

How is the EDGE designed?
Designed for maximum flexibility and strength, the EDGE offers a variety of advanced design features like the Safety Release Helmet Strap. When the force of impact is strong enough to knock a player’s helmet off, the Safety Release Helmet Strap quickly disengages. This keeps the EDGE in the player’s mouth for maximum protection.

Is there a different EDGE for adults and kids?
No. All EDGE products come in two sizes, large and medium. As a general rule, adult men and women within a normal size range will require a large. Younger kids and smaller adults will need a medium.

[ top ]

How do I choose the right size?
Because the EDGE Precision Fitting Tool custom shapes the EDGE to the unique shape and contour of your mouth, either size will work for most adults. With the unique EDGE Product Back Guarantee, if you do choose the wrong size, we’ll send you another one free of charge.

How do I get the EDGE to fit right?
The EDGE conforms to the unique shape and contour of your mouth, making it less likely to fly out upon impact. To ensure you achieve just the right custom fit, the EDGE comes with a precision engineered Fitting Tool and easy-to-follow instructions in your EDGE Owner’s Manual.

What if I wear braces?
If you wear braces, you can still use EDGE products. There are special fitting instructions you will need to follow in your EDGE Owner’s Manual. If you still have questions or concerns after reading the manual, consult your orthodontist.
