Clinical research proves a direct myofascial connection between jaw tightness and pelvic floor restriction. The 5DS Maternity Mouthpiece keeps your jaw aligned and relaxed, naturally supporting the muscle elongation and open mechanics required for delivery.
Published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine (2024), a randomized controlled trial by Sulowska-Daszyk et al. investigated how treating the jaw area affects the lower body. Researchers discovered that a single session of soft tissue therapy targeted at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) resulted in a significant, measurable decrease in resting pelvic floor muscle activity.
HOW 5DS LEVERAGES THIS: When labor contractions peak, the instinctive response is to clench your jaw. This clenching sends stress signals down your core, causing the pelvic floor to tense up in sympathy. By providing a minimum of 4mm of vertical bite support, the 5DS Maternity Mouthpiece prevents the clench at the source. It acts as a continuous mechanical anchor, supporting jaw relaxation to help your lower body open, yield, and coordinate efficiently when it’s time to push.

Your jaw is the foundation of controlled labor mechanics. When it clenches out of alignment during intense contractions, it causes a ripple effect of tension that restricts your breathing and constricts your lower body. Our mouthpiece is engineered to intercept this, stabilizing your jaw to ensure you maintain deep breathing and coordinated muscular engagement when it’s time to push.
Given my previous review I would like to recant and provide an update.
The customer service team addressed the issues directly, were very kind and apologetic. I sincerely believe this will be the first of their product I will use, with additional products to follow.
Was not sure about the product as labe tried similar products, but I must say that IT WORKS! I performed the balance test and the difference was majorly noticable. I'm 56 years young, and as a calisthenics head, this also helps. On my pull ups, I only got one extra rep as well as in other exercises. The thing is, I am about quality not quantity, so here is where it got amazing. There is always room for improvement, and my posture during pull ups, chin ups, and even muscle ups was good but something was missing. Now my reps are super clean according to my crew, I never told them about the mouth piece. How can I become and affiliate, or can I sell these for you guys here in Canada? I have a large tik Tok following and my channel is all about self-love meaning health! I could sell this even go the toothless!
Great product and price.
Works well
I like the mouth piece, give me extra strength able to push more compared to workout without it. Thanks it is a wonderful product, more should know.
Traditional sports mouthguards are bulky, intrusive, and designed solely to protect your teeth from heavy impacts like a football tackle. The 5DS Maternity Mouthpiece is a low-profile performance tool. It is specifically engineered to stabilize your jaw alignment and add vertical support, which actively manages upper-body tension and keeps your airway wide open during intense physical effort.
It is all about full-body biomechanics. When contractions peak, your natural instinct is to clench your teeth, which triggers a "fight-or-flight" response, shallow chest breathing, and upper-body rigidity. By mechanically preventing the clench, the 5DS supports steady, diaphragmatic breathing. Furthermore, clinical research shows that reducing jaw tension directly supports the natural relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles via connected myofascial pathways.
Don't wait until you're in the delivery room to open the box! We highly recommend custom-molding your mouthpiece during your third trimester. Practice wearing it during prenatal strength training, prenatal yoga, breathing exercises, or when riding out Braxton Hicks. This ensures your body feels completely natural and locked into its optimal performance settings on the big day.
Absolutely! And you will probably want to. The "labor hangover" is real, and the fourth trimester brings plenty of physical strain from late-night nursing postures, hormonal shifts, and sleep-deprived stress clenching. Using the mouthpiece postpartum helps reduce tension headaches, optimizes your restorative breathing patterns, and significantly improves sleep quality when you actually get a chance to catch some Zzzs.
Yes. We know you need to communicate with your birth team (or tell your partner to stop breathing so loudly). Unlike bulky dental guards, the 5DS features a ultra-low-profile, communication-friendly design. You can easily voice your birth plan, sip water between contractions, or practice your labor vocalizations without having to constantly take it out
The 5DS Wellness Mouthpiece is a performance support tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition or reduce labor pain. Always consult your healthcare provider or midwife before use during pregnancy or labor.
