Prevent Custom vs Hybrid iMG: What is the difference?

Prevent Biometrics offer two instrumented-mouthguard (iMG) solutions, depending on the needs and requirements for your athletes.

Prevent Custom iMG:

The Prevent Custom iMG requires a 3D dental scan of the upper teeth for each user. This solution is most commonly used by elite athletes who are familiar with wearing a custom-fitted mouthguard.

Prevent Hybrid iMG:

The Prevent Hybrid iMG is a convenient 'boil and bite' solution that provides the advantages of an iMG without the need for a 3D dental scan of the upper teeth.

Users can achieve a personalised fit in just one minute with a simple fitting process. For detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to fit a Prevent Hybrid iMG, please refer to this article.

This option is commonly used among community-level athletes due to its straightforward implementation and ease of use.
