All About Mouthpieces in Football

Video Transcript

"VINCENT JAMAL: I'm Vincent on behalf of Expert Village. And Chris is going to demonstrate the use of the universal mouthpiece. It slides in. He's just got a standard one, and it's been molded to his specific bite and grip and everything, and it really prevents a lot of head injuries. I know you'll see a lot of pros in hockey, in football and everything wearing mouthpieces and some don't. Let those guys afford to get their teeth knocked out. They can afford to have it replaced. These are standard. They come in many sizes and shapes for different ages. They come for people with braces as well. They come in upper and lower. They'd prevent more concussions from getting hit from the bottom. So please, make sure that you wear it every play. You'll just never know what's going to happen. It will prevent you a lot of jaw injury and headache and heartache in the long run. Always keep it in your possession. A lot of guys will cut theirs off which is fine. Just make sure you don't lose it. If you lose it, take yourself out in the game until you can get a replacement. The standard usually comes with the strap that wraps onto the face mask. And in that way, it just hangs there. But you really want to take care of your mouthpiece 'cause your mouthpiece is going to take care of you."
