Delano Romero, CEO of Damage Control Mouthguards, had to have his two front teeth fractured before he started thinking of a better mouthguard. The thick and bulky over the counter mouthpiece he was using did not deliver protection the Brazilian needed in his Jiu-Jitsu sparring bout.
Romero thus began his exploration into launching a better fitting, more comfortable mouthguard. His journey to an improved mouthguard started with Vesna Delic DDS and an organic chemist from Sandia National Laboratories. The team began to ascertain the strongest shock absorption material and its ideal thickness for a variety of mouthguards.
Years of specialized research has guided Damage Control to produce a more comfortable and protective mouthguard than any of its rivals.

Ultimate Protection
Since the early 1900s, mouthguards have been considered protection for the teeth, not soft tissue and jaw security. A true custom mouthguard must protect gums, tongue, cheek, and jaw along with the athlete's teeth. Damage Control uses a Drufomat Scan Pressure Machine in their mouthguard fabrication process. This degree of build sophistication ensures the athlete' s entire teeth and mouth structure are cared for.
Violent contact sports such as MMA, football, hockey, and kickboxing can end careers if the mouth and teeth are not adequately secured.
The HXC Custom Mouthguard is viewed by many to be the best mouthguard on the market. Facebook reviews sing the praises of the HXC. The mouthguard is available for custom fitting in each of the sports Damage Control covers. The HXC has a hardening layer built inside the mouthguard. Studies have confirmed, this layer adds 417% better power distribution. Injuries to the mouth occur at the front teeth, and the HXC redistributes violent forces to the back teeth, which are more durable.
Protection Technologies by DC:
- Damprobands are scattering bands which can be added to any custom mouthguard. The bands serve as a roll bar for your teeth and mouth area. Damproband technology diffuses violent impact energy, away from the front teeth to the more stable rear mouth area.
- Damprotech material has far superior shock absorption properties than any substance on the market. Damprotech was invented by Damage Control's founder when he was exploring for stronger, less bulky material to produce his mouthguards. The study by the US Department of Energy by Sandia Laboratories found, Damprotech Material, among other results, exhibited 150% better shock absorption than alternative materials on the market.
Damprotech and Damproband technologies are at the core of Damage Control's transformation in the mouthguard industry.
