Advanced Comfort Chincup

Abstract

The improved chincup relates systems and methods for a chincup comprising additional comfort relief during use. The chincup may comprise a first and second padding layer, which the first padding layer is positioned at, above or below the alveolar line of the mandible to further protect the chin from abrasions or other injuries during use. Furthermore, the first padding layer may comprise an elastic material to allow the first padding layer to decompress or deform from an uncompressed, original position prior to impact, to a compressed position after impact, and returning to its uncompressed state after the impact is removed.
