An interchangeable mouth shield configured to be worn by a user during athletics, the interchangeable mouth shield comprising:
- a teeth tray to be disposed inside of a mouth of the user, the teeth tray comprising:
- an outer wall, an inner wall offset from the outer wall, and a channel disposed between the outer wall and the inner wall, the channel configured to receive teeth of the user;
- an anterior portion comprising:
- a panel to be disposed outside of the mouth of the user, the panel comprising an anterior side and a posterior side, wherein the anterior side of the panel defines an anterior-most surface of the interchangeable mouth shield;
- a lip shield to be disposed outside of and around the mouth of the user to protect lips of the user, the lip shield comprising an anterior side and a posterior side, wherein the lip shield is posteriorly positioned relative to the posterior side of the panel such that an air gap separates at least a periphery of the posterior side of the panel and the anterior side of the lip shield;
- and
- a connector extending between and connecting the posterior side of the panel and the anterior side of the lip shield to form the air gap, the connector coupled to a posterior-facing surface of the panel such that the panel, the connector, and the lip shield cooperate to at least partially absorb a force of impact applied to the panel;
