The Fang mouthguard and primeval fear

Have you ever been surprised by something scary with big sharp teeth? Sports psychologists speculate that fear can destroy the will of the opponent in athletic competition. Imagine looking across the ring to see a fighter with the appearance of fangs. Would your willingness to compete be affected? Now these terrifying images are possible with the Fang mouth guard instead of the other soft sports mouth guards. Is there an overriding fear of fangs?

Primary fear

In the animal world, aggression and the fighting instinct are manifested by exposing the teeth to the adversary or prey. We have all been exposed to the feeling of intimidation and fear when we see large, sharp teeth exposed. Movies often use images to awaken our senses. In the movie Jaws, do you remember the feeling in the pit of your stomach when you saw the dark mouth of “Jaws” full of ravenous and ragged teeth before attacking the defenseless swimmer? Industrial stainless steel teeth also created a terrifying image in the James Bond films The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker, as this “Jaws character” chewed on any material and also killed his victims by biting into his jugular vein. In the darkest night, consider the vision of the vampire draining his blood for food after his fangs pierce his victim’s neck. The sudden appearance of the Wierwolf’s exposed cunning also creates haunting images. Of course, there are more images of fangs like dogs, snakes and spiders with fangs that can do us serious harm. This is the realm of the mouthguard fangs.

Intimidation

If there is an overriding fear of fangs, then a fanged mouth guard with terrifying sharp teeth could give the athlete the confidence and added power to terrify their opponents. Perhaps there could be a mental edge from a fanged mouth guard. For the athlete who needs to be the meanest and really someone to fear, fang mouthguard intimidation could be the difference between winning and losing. Show your opponent this cool display of power and aggression and let him know right away that you are someone to fear. Science has yet to prove that a fang mouthguard actually causes fear in opponents, but it intuitively makes sense that there may be a competitive advantage when you look scary.

Athletes using the Fang mouth guard

So who is wearing these fang mouth guards? You might be surprised to learn that Miami Heat superstar Lebron James wore his specially designed fanged mouthguard to adorn his already commanding presence during the 2010-2011 season. The fanged vampire mouthpiece is extremely popular with mixed martial athletes (MMA). While watching a UFC event, you are likely to see fighters wearing custom mouth guards, many of them with fangs, as they try to intimidate their opponents. Some of the popular professional MMA fighters who wear fang mouth guards are Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy and Andrei “The Pitbull” Arlovski. Not only is the design cool, but the fang mouth guard makes it look like you have sharp teeth capable of terrifying your opponent. In the animal world, the attack mode is shown by the display of teeth with a growl, something natural in MMA fighters. Now in high demand, these Fang Guard Mouthpieces are steadily increasing in popularity.

Your Fang Mouth Guard Options

  • Dentist-supervised custom lab-made fang mouth guard is more likely to give you the best fit, comfort, and protection.
  • Many athletes choose to make their own impression and have a dental lab fabricate their custom Fang mouth guard. This saves the time and cost of a visit to the dentist and you still get a custom lab mouthpiece.
  • Another less expensive option is the entry-level boil and bite option, such as the Title Fang Polyshock. For this mouth guard, the user heats the Fang mouth guard in hot water and molds the mouthpiece to fit.

Full-contact sports like soccer, hockey, and rugby are the natural place for these intimidating mouthguards. So expect to see a more primal fear as the Fang mouth guard shows up in all sports.
