Abstract
The present disclosure relates to heat mouldable mouth guards, to methods for using the mouth guards, and to methods for producing the mouth guards. In certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides a heat mouldable mouth guard, the mouth guard comprising: an inner framework comprising a semi-rigid thermoplastic; and an outer layer comprising an elastomeric thermoplastic which has a melting temperature higher than the semi-rigid thermoplastic of the inner framework, wherein the outer layer substantially encapsulates the inner framework.
Claims25
A heat mouldable mouth guard, the mouth guard comprising:
- an inner framework comprising a thermoplastic;
- and
- an outer layer comprising an elastomeric thermoplastic which has a melting temperature higher than the thermoplastic of the inner framework,
- wherein the outer layer encapsulates the inner framework.
A heat mouldable mouth guard, the mouth guard comprising:
- an inner framework comprising a thermoplastic;
- and
- an outer layer comprising an elastomeric thermoplastic, the outer layer supporting the inner framework when the inner framework becomes pliable due to heating,
- wherein the outer layer encapsulates the inner framework.
A heat mouldable mouth guard, the mouth guard comprising:
- an inner framework comprising a thermoplastic;
- and
- an outer layer encapsulating the inner framework and comprising an elastomeric thermoplastic, the outer layer supporting the configuration of the inner framework when the inner framework is heat softened to become pliable.
