The National Federation of State High School Associations is the overriding body that regulated High School sports in the country. The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, the Oregon School Activities Association and the Idaho High School Activities Association are the governing bodies for each state.
The WIAA, OSAA & IHSAA accepts the NFSS rules concerning helmets and Mouthguards. The football rules were updated in 2005 as follows:
1-5-1: Beginning with the 2006 season, all helmets shall be secured with a four-snap chin strap and a tooth protector shall be of any readily visible color, other than white or clear.
The purpose is to allow the officials to easily confirm the Mouthguard in the player’s mouth.

This nightguard is processed with normal hard acrylic on the occlusal surface and a soft thermoplastic that is bonded to the inside. Shore-D hardness testing shows it will not harden over time under normal wear and handling conditions. It has “memory” and will not warp under normal wear and handling procedures. It is very comfortable with good retention and therefore patient compliance is very high.
