Electromagnetic Mouthguard History

Electromagnetic Mouthguard History



Sports mouthguards, or mouthpieces, have been in existance for almost 120 years since a London dentist called Woolf Krause created one in 1890 to protect boxers from mouth cuts. Called gum shields, they were made from gutta-percha. Krauses son Philip, also a dentist and an amateur boxer, improved the design and started making the shields from vella rubber.



Mouthguards were initially brought in the United States by Chicago dentist Thomas Carlos in 1916. For a long time, mouthguards remained mostly the same. It was not until the early 1960s that a Canadian pediatric dentist named Arthur Wood, shocked by the amount of dental wounds he found in hockey players, created a mug guard or teeth guard for which he became recognized as the father of the modern mouthguard. Since then, mouthguard equipment, fabrication techniques and subsequent fit, have been improved to increase both protection and comfort.
