NeoMorph was designed as a mouthguard that will absorb and disperse impact energy to protect your teeth and the supporting structures for a wide range of sports. If you receive an impact to the mouth there is a chance that your gums may be affected but just imagine how affected they would be without the protection. Unless it is an extreme type of impact, soft tissues damage is generally not permanent and heals quite quickly – the same cannot be said for injuries to teeth. Rest assured though, just as NeoMorph protects by spreading the impact over more teeth, soft tissue damage is also likely to be less concentrated.
