SEACURE CUSTOM MOUTHPIECE

Those of you who have never come across the SeaCURE Custom Mouthpiece will be pleased to hear it does have a pedigree! It was scientifically designed by Orthodontist, Dr Randall Moles in 1992. His aim was to create a mouldable mouthpiece that each diver could easily self mould to correctly fit their mouth, teeth, gums and jaw.

“The moulding process is uncomplicated. Just dunk the unit in hot water for about 30 seconds. Then shake off the hot water and place it in your mouth and bite down. To get a good result it’s worth rubbing your fingers along your cheeks, pressing the mouthpiece against your teeth. At the same time, get busy with your tongue, and push the mouthpiece onto the inside of your teeth. Although you may feel a little daft doing this, you do get to achieve a snugger result. But the real beauty of the SeaCURE is that if you don’t get a perfect fit on the first go, no need to fret, you can just boil the mouthpiece again and give it another try. This actually is invaluable should your ‘bite’ change due to dental work, as the SeaCURE is remouldable, several months down the line”.

So what is so special about this mouthpiece compared to a conventional one? Divers who experienced headache pain when using a conventional mouthpiece found that when they switched to a SeaCURE, the headaches would reduce or stop. They could not understand why. The answer was simple. By spreading the biting pressure, the SeaCURE decreases the load on the jaw muscles. This automatically reduces jaw fatigue and in turn, where experienced, headaches. Additionally, the diver gains maximum retention, control and support of the regulator second stage. So there is less of a chance the mouthpiece dropping out. This concept has made this mouthpiece popular, especially with Dive Professionals who spend so much time in the water.
