FAQs
Can I wear this with braces?
Generally, it is not recommended to use standard boil-and-bite mouthguards with braces. Consult your orthodontist for a specialized guard.
How often should I replace my mouthguard?
It is recommended to replace your mouthguard at the start of every season or sooner if you notice visible signs of wear, tears, or if the fit becomes loose.
Is the carrying case dishwasher safe?
It is best to hand wash the carrying case with mild soap and water to prevent it from warping due to high heat.
Does this mouthguard come in different sizes?
The Nike Alpha CE Mouthguard is designed to be a one-size-fits-most solution through its flexible, mouldable material.
Can I use boiling water to clean the guard?
No. Boiling water will re-soften the material and cause the custom mould to lose its shape.
Troubleshooting
Mouthguard is too loose
You may need to repeat the moulding process. Ensure the water is hot enough to soften the material but not boiling, and ensure a firm bite during the setting phase.
Difficulty breathing with the guard in
During the moulding process, try to bite down firmly but avoid clenching excessively, which can push the material too far back and obstruct the airway.
Mouthguard feels uncomfortable on the gums
If the edges are sharp after moulding, you may carefully trim the excess material using clean, sanitized scissors, provided you do not compromise the structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, you must follow a boil-and-bite process. Submerge the mouthguard in hot (not boiling) water for the recommended time before placing it in your mouth and biting down firmly to set the mould. Once cooled, rinse it under cold water to solidify the shape. For daily care, always rinse the mouthguard with cold water after each use and store it in the provided carrying case to prevent bacterial growth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or hot water for cleaning, as these can warp the material and degrade the fit over time.
