FAQs
Is this mouthguard suitable for adults?
No, this is specifically a JUNIOR model. For adult sizes, please refer to other available models.

Troubleshooting
Mouthguard is too bulky after fitting.
Ensure you have followed the fitting instructions carefully, biting down firmly and molding the material around your teeth. Trim any excess material if necessary, ensuring not to cut into the main protective area.
Mouthguard does not stay in place.
Re-attempt the fitting process. Ensure the water temperature is correct and the mouthguard is softened sufficiently. Ensure you bite down firmly and suck to create a vacuum seal.
Mouthguard feels uncomfortable or pinches.
The fit may need adjustment. Re-soften the mouthguard and repeat the fitting process, paying attention to any areas that cause discomfort. Ensure it is not overly tight.
Difficulty breathing while wearing the mouthguard.
Ensure the mouthguard is fitted correctly, allowing for an open airway. It should not obstruct breathing through the nose or mouth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup (Boil and Bite Fitting):
- Boil Water: Heat water to approximately 70°C (160°F). Do not use boiling water.
- Soften Mouthguard: Submerge the mouthguard in the hot water for about 30-60 seconds until it becomes pliable.
- Remove and Cool: Carefully remove the mouthguard from the water. Allow it to cool slightly so it is not too hot to place in your mouth.
- Fit Mouthguard: Place the mouthguard into your mouth, aligning it over your upper teeth. Bite down firmly and use your fingers to mold the material around your teeth and gums, ensuring a snug fit. Suck gently to help secure the mold.

Care:
- Rinse the mouthguard with cold water after each use.
- Clean with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
- Store in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated case (not included) when not in use.
- Avoid exposing the mouthguard to direct sunlight or excessive heat, as this can deform the material.
