What is the ForceField™ sports mouthguard?
ForceField™ is ROE Dental Laboratory's 3D printed custom sports mouthguard, engineered to deliver athletic dental protection using advanced digital manufacturing rather than traditional impression and thermoforming methods. It is part of ROE's Splints & Guards family alongside CLEARguard™, miniComfort™, and CLEARsplint™.
The defining advantage of ForceField is that it is 30% smaller and more comfortable than traditional alternatives, while still providing reliable, long-lasting protection against dental injuries. Because the appliance is produced digitally, it offers a precise fit that improves patient compliance and extended wear tolerance.
