Oral injuries can cause severe pain, emotional and psychological effects, and financial burdens.

A comprehensive treatment may be required if the dental trauma extends to the supporting periodontal apparatus. A sports mouthguard helps prevent oral injuries. Therefore, the increasing frequency of dental injuries during sports fuels the growth of the sports mouthguard market. The innovations in mouthguards are not limited to their fit. Technological advancements have also increased the durability of mouthguards since a denser material confers a better damage resistance, without adding any thickness to them. A self-fit mouthguard is another example of technological developments in them. OPRO Self-Fit mouthguards, for instance, have innovative fins that are anatomically oriented for the greatest fit and retention. Data from ~1 million OPRO Custom-Fit dental impressions was used to determine the placement and depth of the fins.  Mouthguards with shock absorbers have been introduced for the impact made on mouth, jaw, or head area during sport activities. For instance, an NXTRND mouthguard acts as a shock absorber by dispersing impact forces and increasing spacing between the upper and lower teeth. Hence, the abovementioned technological advancements in mouthguards bolster the growth of the sports mouthguard market.
