How does ForceField™ compare to other mouthguards and to ROE's other splints and guards?
There are two useful comparisons for clinicians: ForceField against over-the-counter mouthguard types, and ForceField against ROE's other splints and guards.
ForceField vs. over-the-counter mouthguard types
| Mouthguard Type | Size | Protection Level | Fit | Comfort |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stock Mouthguard | Large and bulky | Minimum protection | Worst fit | Least comfort |
| Boil & Bite Mouthguard | Large | Better than stock, but not total protection | Inconsistent fit | Inconsistent comfort |
| ForceField Mouthguard | Custom thickness by sport | Best protection per sport (multiple thickness options) | Custom fit | Personalized fit, best comfort |
Where to purchase: stock guards are widely available over the counter, boil-and-bite guards are typically sold at sporting goods stores, and the ForceField guard is ordered through a dentist.
ForceField vs. other ROE Splints & Guards
| Product | Primary Application | Material | Hard / Soft | Arch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ForceField™ | 3D printed sports mouthguard | KeyGuard® Sportguard Resin | Hard | Upper or Lower |
| CLEARguard™ | Bruxism protection, TMJ therapy, general splint treatment | Dental LT Clear Resin (V2) | Hard, hard with memory liner, or semi-soft | Upper or Lower |
| miniComfort™ | Daytime/nighttime guard that disrupts parafunctional activity | Vacuum-formed biocompatible resin | Soft (semi-soft) | Lower only |
| CLEARsplint™ | Nighttime guard for severe bruxism | Biocompatible, amine-free and MMA-free composition | Hard | Upper or Lower |
Typical days in lab: both ForceField and CLEARguard are 2 to 4 days, miniComfort is 3 days, and CLEARsplint timing is listed on its product page.
How to choose:
- Choose ForceField when the goal is athletic impact protection.
- Choose CLEARguard for flexible bruxism or TMJ treatment with multiple material firmness options.
- Choose miniComfort for a soft, habit-disrupting daytime or nighttime guard (lower arch).
- Choose CLEARsplint for severe bruxism that requires a durable hard composite.
