Dr. Dena Garner made her dream of a superior performance-enhancing mouthpiece a reality over 15 years of research and development, testing the AIRWAAV on the elite athletes and cadets at the Citadel. It’s been engineered to provide maximum airway capacity in high-intensity athletes and bodybuilders. This leads to natural cortisol and lactic acid reduction, allowing for better levels of performance, endurance, and strength.
The mouthpiece is made of our patented VistaMaxx material, which is strong enough to withstand the pressure of clenching your teeth, but soft enough to be comfortable to wear workout after workout. The material does not absorb bacteria, so it will stay clear throughout months and years of use. Cleaning your AIRWAAV is easy—gentle soap or toothpaste and warm water will do a great job.
The AIRWAAV Performance Mouthpiece has two features that work together to increase your airway. First, there is the bite plate, which you can bite down on gently or clench more aggressively. This helps hold the mouthpiece in place while you’re lifting, but more importantly, it positions your jaw to increase your airway’s capacity. When you first receive your mouthpiece, you will mold it to fit your rear teeth. This only takes a couple of minutes using a microwave and a bowl of cold water. If you’re having orthodontic or other dental work done, there’s no reason to buy a new mouthpiece each time you visit your dentist because you can remold it as many times as you need. This makes it not only an effective solution to cortisol increases during bodybuilding, but makes it the most affordable solution as well.
The intake bar sits behind your lower front teeth and you’ll reach your tongue forward and down to tuck it under the bar. This bar and the bite plate work together to align your jaw and tongue so that your airway is opened by nearly 10 percent more than normal. This can immediately improve your respiratory rate by more than 20 percent, reducing both cortisol and lactic acid. The result is an increased ability to work harder, longer. In fact, after one intense workout, the AIRWAAV can help to reduce cortisol levels by up to 50 percent. Using the mouthpiece can improve your bench throw power and torque, force, and even your vertical jump.
