Mouth•Mate is the first patented healing aid for oral surgeries, periodontal and dental procedures, which protects oral surgical or periodontal wounds, chronic mouth sores (such as Lichen Planus, Canker Sores, etc.), and even painful sores from cancer treatments. Mouth•Mate can also help retract the inner cheek to help make brushing easier in hard to reach places, especially for orthodontic patients and improve any patient’s hygiene program at home. During a recent in-office trial that achieved a 92% success rate, we learned patients often felt nervous to brush near an oral wound the first couple of days following surgery and found using Mouth•Mate on the third day until their post-op appointment improved their comfort and healing.
Patients use Mouth•Mate as they heal because it is designed specifically to eliminate pain and direct contact with the toothbrush as patients brush near a wound or sore. Mouth•Mate was also designed to be a retraction aid that helps patients improve their hygiene at home because they will have easier access to brush and floss. This is particularly relevant for general dentists and orthodontists as their patients are often sent home after a deep cleaning or new braces and improving oral hygiene is a top priority!
Armor Dental’s founding mission is to modernize patient recovery at home. We have developed an entirely new category of patented dental products that aid in the healing of post-surgical wounds and chronic mouth sores – right at home. The first of Armor Dental’s product line, Mouth•Mate, is manufactured in the U.S.A., and launched in the U.S. market in January 2017. Mouth•Mate was designed to cover and retract anywhere in the mouth to decrease complications and improve healing. Please visit www.armor-dental.com for company information.
The Mouth•Mate product includes polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), which are FDA medically approved materials typically used in toothbrush manufacturing.
Yes! Mouth•Mate is as easy to use as a toothbrush, reduces pain during brushing, and improves post-procedure outcomes at home. During the initial product in-office trial (100 patients ranging from children to seniors), Mouth-Mate achieved a 92% patient satisfaction rate, and demonstrably improved their healing at home. Currently, we are conducting our second patient in-office trial with 30 offices and 600 patients and will be announcing the results in early Q2 2017. Early data is very favorable!
