The Maher Mouth Guard specifically
helps reduce the chances of suffering from a
concussion from a blow to the jaw-helmet
improvement focuses only on cerebral
concussion or "blows to the crown."
The construction of the articulated
retainer-like Maher mouth guard, with the
prescribed thickness and temporomandibular
joint (TMJ) alignment, was developed with
world champion boxers to correct "Glass
Jaw" syndrome found to be temporal
mandible disorder or TMD.

guides/temporomandibular-disorders).
This individually-fitted patent-pending
mouth guard, in addition to wearing properly
fitted protective head gear and chin straps,
allows for the utmost protection from
dangerous head trauma. In fact, most pro
players who have had a history of concussions have halted any future events,
even while wearing old-style non-concussion
specific-designed helmets.
Non-corrective common custom-made, or
boil-and-bite, mouth guards reduce
neuropsychological deficits but do nothing to
identify and correct disharmony in the jaw
joint. They only "lock" the jaw into a
susceptible negative position.
Duffy's articles in the Examiner.com and
Huffington Post center on the questions
surrounding the tentative interest by the NFL
to study Dr. Maher's product, which is already
successfully used by the New England
Patriots, as shown in an online ESPN article
(http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=
2314899 ).
Numerous high school and college
athletes, individual NFL players and a number
of boxing, hockey, and lacrosse professionals
have been relieved of recurrent concussion
due to the Maher Mouth Guard.
