McKeon Products, Inc. Release: New Best In Class LunaGuard Dental Protector Provides Protection From Teeth Grinding And Reduces Health Care Costs

WARREN, Mich., April 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- McKeon Products, Inc. is pleased to announce the availability of the new LunaGuard, which provides improved protection against bruxism (nighttime teeth grinding), more comfort when in use, and significant consumer health care savings.

The LunaGuard(TM) Nighttime Dental Protector is a bite guard that provides better protection than conventional nighttime bite guards due to its unique design and materials. It is made of a strong thermoplastic that prevents the user from biting through the guard. Engineering tests show the LunaGuard(TM) provides up to 30% better protection than conventional nighttime bite guards. This is significant since the LunaGuard(TM) is only 1.6 mm thick. Additionally, tests show that the LunaGuard(TM) offers 90% more force absorption and is 8x tougher than other available bite guards.

In the U.S. today it is estimated that over 35% of people do not have dental coverage. Additionally, most dental insurance plans only provide coverage for one dental guard for a lifetime. Consumers who do not have coverage or who need a replacement guard can now purchase the LunaGuard at significant savings versus a traditional in office-fitted guard.

The LunaGuard Difference

The patented LunaGuard was designed by a team of scientists to create the best over-the-counter (OTC) solution for consumers to use to protect their teeth from the impact of bruxism. The result of this team effort is a product that provides consumers with:

Better Protection: Engineering tests show the LunaGuard provides up to 30% better protection against grinding teeth than conventional OTC night guards.

Ultra-thin comfort: It is so thin (1.6mm) that it does not impede speaking, drinking or breathing during wear. In fact, it is the thinnest OTC dental protection product available.

Unique fitting technology: The unique LunaGuard thermoplastic material allows it to be remolded for a perfect fit (up to 20 times if necessary).

Unique performance: Diffusix technology uses perforations in the guard to diffuse and absorb grinding forces. This technologically innovative design ensures maximum protection against bruxism.

Where to buy

The LunaGuard can be purchased at Rite Aid, Weis Markets, Kinney Drugs and Discount Drug Mart, Inc. and select Walgreens, as well as online at www.target.com, www.drugstore.com and www.walgreens.com.

What is bruxism?

It is estimated that up to 30% of all people experience bruxism, a condition in which a person grinds or clenches their teeth, typically during sleep. It can be frequent and severe enough to lead to damaged teeth, headaches, and other significant health problems.
