Performance Enhancing Mouthguards

Mouthguards have been recommended to athletes who participate in contact sports for years.  The benefit of using a well fitting mouthguard in preventing dental injury is so great that all youth league and high school football, hockey, and lacrosse teams mandates the use of them.  But can a mouthguard also enhance the athletic performance of an athlete?  Recently released research suggests that manipulating jaw position with a specific type of mouthguard can increase strength, speed, endurance, and reaction time.  For an athlete, this can make the difference between a win and a loss.
