In the world of high-performance athletics and fitness, the difference between good and great often comes down to the smallest details—timing, technique, gear, and mindset. But one piece of equipment is often overlooked, despite its major impact on strength, stability, and stamina: the mouthpiece.
At New Age Performance, we’ve engineered more than just a mouthguard—we’ve created the ultimate performance-enhancing mouthpiece for athletes across disciplines. Whether you’re a heavy lifter, a HIIT enthusiast, a yogi, or a competitive court player, the right mouthpiece can elevate your entire game.
And when it comes to performance, one truth stands tall: Thin does not win.
The Problem with Traditional Mouthguards
Let’s start with what most athletes already know. Traditional mouthguards were designed for one thing: protection. And yes, protection is crucial—especially in high-contact sports like football, hockey, and MMA. But when it comes to optimizing performance, those bulky boil-and-bite guards and thin silicone sleeves fall dramatically short.
Why?
Because they don’t consider the crucial relationship between the jaw, body alignment, and muscular engagement. Thin mouthguards or guards meant only for tooth protection are often:
- Too flimsy to provide any real jaw stability
- Prone to slipping or needing frequent adjustment
- Uncomfortable to wear for long periods
- Designed with zero consideration for performance enhancement
Wearing a thin mouthguard during a serious lift or explosive workout is like trying to squat barefoot on ice—it just doesn’t give you the grounding, support, or safety you need.
Introducing the Game Changer: New Age Performance Mouthpieces
New Age Performance mouthpieces are built on a very different philosophy: optimize the jaw, enhance the body.
Our patented designs are backed by years of research in neuromuscular science and athletic biomechanics. We’ve studied the intricate relationship between your jaw position and how it impacts full-body engagement, posture, and oxygen flow.
Here’s what sets New Age Performance apart from the crowd:
1. Jaw Alignment That Activates Full-Body Power
The position of your jaw has a direct effect on your posture, spinal alignment, and muscular engagement. When the jaw is out of alignment—something that happens often during intense movement—it creates tension and instability throughout the body.
New Age Performance mouthpieces use a patented bite-patented design that repositions your jaw into its optimal state. This small adjustment improves head posture, enhances stability through the core, and activates more muscle groups simultaneously. It’s like turning the power switch on across your whole system.
Think of it as the difference between pushing with one hand or two. The right jaw position means your entire body is firing in unison.
2. Mid-Profile Designs That Bridge Comfort and Control
One of our most popular models, the 5DS Core Mid Profile, embodies everything New Age Performance stands for: comfort, protection, and peak performance. It’s sleek enough to be worn during non-contact sports like running, CrossFit, yoga, basketball, and more—but powerful enough to stabilize your jaw and unlock hidden strength.
Unlike paper-thin guards that feel more like a fashion statement than actual equipment, the 5DS Core Mid Profile offers a real biomechanical benefit. It's structured. It fits snugly. And it works.
3. Protection + Performance = Long-Term Gains
Every athlete knows that longevity matters. Injuries, misalignments, and overexertion are part of the game—but what if they didn’t have to be?
By keeping the jaw in a stabilized position, our mouthpieces reduce strain on the neck and spine, lower the risk of TMJ-related issues, and promote more balanced muscle recruitment. This not only improves performance in the moment, but also helps you stay in the game longer, injury-free.
Let’s be clear: a thin mouthguard won’t do any of that. Thin might feel light and unobtrusive, but it doesn’t deliver the functional benefit your body needs. In fact, many ultra-thin guards provide little to no jaw support at all—just a false sense of security.
4. Trusted by Elite Athletes Across the Globe
You don’t have to take our word for it. New Age Performance mouthpieces are trusted and used by some of the world’s most elite athletes in powerlifting, bodybuilding, CrossFit, MMA, and more.
From the Mr. Olympia stage to the training rooms of UFC fighters, our gear is tested in the real world—where performance is everything.
We’ve signed athletes, partnered with professionals, and been featured by experts who understand one thing: New Age works.
Let’s Talk Science: The Neuromuscular Advantage
Why does jaw alignment matter so much? It all comes down to neuromuscular coordination.
When your jaw is in the proper position, the body’s proprioceptive system (which controls balance, movement, and stability) functions at a higher level. You get:
- Improved posture
- Better breathing and oxygen flow
- Increased strength and power output
- Faster reaction times
- Greater endurance under fatigue
In other words, you perform better, recover faster, and move more efficiently.
Thin guards simply don’t provide the bite support or jaw tension required to activate these neuromuscular benefits. They might protect your teeth, but they do nothing for your body.
"Thin Does Not Win": What We Really Mean
Let’s break this down.
- Thin doesn’t stabilize. A wafer-thin mouthguard can’t position your jaw or anchor your bite during high-pressure movement.
- Thin doesn’t protect. Without proper material thickness and structure, thin guards wear down quickly and do little to protect your joints and spine from impact.
- Thin doesn’t perform. No jaw alignment = no body alignment = missed opportunity for better performance.
- Thin doesn’t last. Flimsy designs need constant replacing and often slip during intense activity.
At New Age, we say “Thin does not win” because we’ve seen what happens when athletes rely on the wrong tools. We believe in structured support, proven biomechanics, and results you can feel every time you train.
