What makes a BrainVault®
mouthguard?

How it Works

Strengthens Neck Muscles

Neck strength reduces the likelihood of concussion by slowing the head down, allowing the head and brain to move together. Every one pound increase in neck strength decreases the odds of concussion by 5%.

Patented Technology

BrainVault's® revolutionary and patented technology significantly improved the strength and endurance of cervical neck muscles of participants across all ages, genders, and skill levels.

Trusted by Professionals

In 2018, BrainVault® enlisted the help of a third-party investigator, Mark Strickland, current Regional Vice President at Results Physiotherapy and Assistant Professor at The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences as the Principal instructor of Craniomandibular Studies. Strickland was tasked to develop a protocol to accurately test for improvements in neck strength and endurance using BrainVault's® patented IP.

Long Lasting

BrainVault's® Bulls Eye Bite mold is designed to last. It will endure multiple seasons of regular use and not lose its form and function in the areas that matter the most. The thermoplastic material is designed to maintain its density, a critical component in reducing the risk of concussion.

Refittable

BrainVault®uses a firm red framework to maintain its shape and a blue thermoplastic overmold designed to place and hold the jaw in its optimal position. The blue thermoplastic is pliable, adapting to the teeth. If your child is growing their permanent teeth, you can remold the BrainVault® to their current fit.

  • The Problem

    What is a concussion? Probably not what you think it is.

    In this TED Talk from Dr. David Camarillo, Stanford CamLab bioengineer professor (and former Standford football player), he reveals that the key to concussion prevention is slowing down the head "just a little bit." Camarillo's deconstruction of a concussion is definitive and shows why sports helmets prevent skull fractures, not concussions. Here's what the future of concussion prevention looks like and what inspired BrainVault's® revolutionary technology".

  • The Science

    Dr. Robert Cantu is the co-founder of the CTE Center at Boston University’s School of Medicine and senior advisor to the NFL’s Head, Neck, and Spine Committee.

    Cantu’s 2014 study of 6,662 high school athletes determined that for every one pound of increase in neck strength, odds of concussion decreased by 5%.

  • The Solution

    In 2018, BrainVault® enlisted the help of a third party investigator, Mark Strickland, current Regional Vice President at Results Physiotherapy and Assistant Professor at The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences as the Principal instructor of Craniomandibular Studies. Strickland was tasked to develop a protocol to accurately test for improvements in neck strength and endurance using BrainVault's® patented IP.

    BrainVault's® revolutionary and patented technology significantly improved the strength and endurance of participants across all ages, genders, and skill levels.

    BrainVault's® has been shown to properly align the head and neck, and significantly increase neck strength by an average of 17lbs - making it a crucial line of defense for every athlete.
