It's was only a matter of time before you found out.

I've noticed in the past that there has been some questions and debates over which mouthguards are the best and why. I would like to introduce myself, give you a brief
history and answer any questions you may have regarding mouthguards. I realize there is a bit to read but hopefully when you are finished you will know who I am.

Tom




I've been in the Dental industry for 10 years. I started out in an entry level position as a technician at Glidewell Laboratories in the Thermoforming Department. Glidewell is the largest dental laboratory in the World, located in Newport Beach, California. I became a Master Technician of Thermoforming materials and went on to be Supervisor and later, Manager of a $6 million Thermoforming Department.

The Thermoforming Department manufactured Playsafe mouthguards. Reaching Japan, Australia, Europe, the United Kingdom and Canada, Playsafe mouthguards are recommended by more dentists around the world than any other mouthguard. Working in the Thermoforming Department offered me the opportunity to participate and work closely with the American Academy of Sports Dentistry, The American Academy of Craniofacial Pain and the American Academy of Maxiofacial Pain where I learned the importance of Custom Manufactured Sports Mouthguards and the role they play in providing superior oral protection for sports athletes.

Combined with the knowledge of the potential dental trauma obtained from the different Academies and the material knowledge in the dental lab, I designed three additional guards to to the ones currently available in today's market but only obtainable through a Dentist. These three designs include the Hybrid, Mega and Boxing which I had named while in co-ownership of Apex Thermoforming and the product line of Bite Me Mouthguards. The names have been changed to Fusion, Pro and Boxing and are being manufactured under the authority of Professional Technologies and the the product name of Protech Mouthguards. These guards were produced to meet and exceed the needs of of today's top athletes and MMA Fighters. They have been tested by athletes around the world and have been a favorite of many well known MMA Fighters.

The materials we use are of the highest quality possible with the lowest level of impurities. Starting from the impression material we use to take accurate and complete impressions of your teeth to the individual layers of material used to manufacture the guards, we maintain the strictest policy of maintaining the highest quality components that go into each and every guard. The machinery used to manufacture the guards are state of the art and periodically revised by it's manufacturer in order to maintain the highest level of production possible. These practices are in place to insure a comfortable, high quality,
protective mouthguard.

I was wondering if something was going on. Your name was almost always the one that was mentioned when discussion of Bitme products came up. Then, suddenly, Joe started posting as the Biteme rep. w/ no mention of you. That, coupled w/ the fact that the website is now "under construction" and someone complained about getting a custom mouthguard from Biteme w/ pen lines showing on the fangs (seemed unusual) gave me an idea that there must something going on over there.

From Joe's earlier post, it sounds like Biteme will continue on, too??? If so, best of luck to both you and Joe.

Joe is a great guy. I'm sure he will carry on. I just will not be making guards with him.
