FAQs

How long does the ATAK Sports Mouthguard last?

With proper care and regular use in sports, a mouthguard typically needs replacement every season or after 6-12 months, as wear and tear can reduce its protective qualities.

Can I use this mouthguard if I wear braces?

Yes, this mouthguard is designed to be moldable and can accommodate braces. However, it's crucial to mold carefully to avoid trapping air or creating pressure points. It is recommended to consult your orthodontist for specific advice.

Is the boil and bite process difficult?

No, the boil and bite process is designed to be simple and can be done at home following the provided instructions. It ensures a custom fit without professional assistance.

What is the main difference between this and a standard mouthguard?

This mouthguard features a gel layer for enhanced comfort and shock absorption, and a design focused on increased airflow, which can be a significant advantage during strenuous activity.

How do I clean the mouthguard effectively?

Rinse with cold water after each use and clean daily with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or mouthwash. Allow it to air dry completely before storing it in its case.

What material is the mouthguard made from?

The mouthguard features a gel inner layer for comfort and protection, encased in a durable outer material designed for impact resistance.

Troubleshooting

Mouthguard feels too loose after molding

Re-boil the mouthguard and repeat the molding process, ensuring a tighter bite and pressing firmly with your fingers to achieve a snug fit.

Difficulty breathing through the mouthguard

Ensure the molding process has not blocked the intended airflow channels. Re-mold if necessary, paying attention to the upper front section.

Mouthguard has sharp edges or is uncomfortable

Trim any excess material carefully with scissors. If discomfort persists, re-boil and remold, ensuring even pressure.

Mouthguard feels too thick

This is typical for gel mouthguards providing maximum protection. Ensure proper molding to reduce bulkiness. For thinner options, consider a different model.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup (Boil and Bite Method):

  1. Boil Water: Heat water to approximately 70-80°C (158-176°F). Do not use boiling water.
  2. Soak Mouthguard: Submerge the mouthguard in hot water for about 30-60 seconds until it becomes pliable.
  3. Fit to Teeth: Carefully remove the mouthguard, let it cool slightly, and place it in your mouth. Bite down gently and use your fingers to press it against your teeth and gums, molding it to your unique bite.
  4. Cool and Set: Hold the molded position for 30 seconds, then rinse with cold water to set the shape.

Compatibility:

This mouthguard is designed for a wide range of contact and non-contact sports. It is suitable for individuals with braces, though extra care may be needed during molding to avoid trapping air or creating sharp edges. Consult with a dental professional if you have specific orthodontic considerations.

  • Clean regularly with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or mouthwash. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
