ABOUT SOVA NIGHT GUARDS

SOVA Night Guards are built on the combination of polymer science and impact absorption engineering. The polymer is a hard, non-compressible thermoplastic material with unique properties: soft and pliable when placed in water warmed to 140 F, it fits snuggly around teeth, hardening in minutes. The material dissipates impact forces from teeth grinding through the surface of the guard and away from the teeth. The guard is thinner than any other mouth guard, enabling wearers to drink and speak during use; the guard's chemical memory allows up to 20 re-molds for adjustments to changing teeth or to improve comfort.

SOVA Night Guards are manufactured by Akervall Technologies Inc. (ATI), headquartered in Saline, MI. ATI is comprised of a management core, manufacturing facility and R&D division, where a dedicated team of world-renowned scientists works tirelessly to invent new technologies in mouth protection. The company was awarded the NSF Grant and the Advanced Technologies Grant at Accelerate Michigan Competition and named one of Michigan's Top 50 companies to Watch in 2014.
