FAQs

What is the OPRO Self Fit Gen5 Junior Bronze Mouthguard suitable for?

This mouthguard is suitable for young athletes up to age 10 participating in training and entry-level contact sports. It provides good protection for teeth and gums.

How do I mold the mouthguard to my child's teeth?

The process involves boiling water, soaking the mouthguard, letting it cool slightly, and then biting down firmly while molding it to your child's teeth and gums. A fitting handle is included to assist in this process. Please refer to the detailed instructions in the 'Setup' section.

Is this mouthguard safe for children?

Yes, it is made from BPA and Latex-free materials, ensuring it is safe for young users.

Can my child breathe and talk easily with this mouthguard?

The mouthguard is designed with an inner channel to allow for easy breathing and speech, minimizing disruption during sports activities.

What is the difference between the Bronze level and higher OPRO levels?

The Bronze level is the entry-level training mouthguard offering good protection. Higher levels (e.g., Silver, Gold) typically offer multi-layer constructions with enhanced impact absorption for more demanding sports.

How often should I replace the mouthguard?

It is generally recommended to replace mouthguards every season or if they show signs of wear and tear, or if the fit becomes compromised. If your child grows significantly, a new molding may be necessary.

Can this mouthguard be used with braces?

This particular model is not specifically designed for use with braces. For athletes with braces, OPRO offers specialized mouthguards that accommodate orthodontic appliances. It's best to consult with a coach or dentist.

Troubleshooting

Mouthguard feels loose after molding

Ensure you followed the molding steps precisely. Try re-molding, making sure to bite down firmly and use your tongue to press the material against all teeth and gums. Ensure no air is trapped.

Difficulty breathing or speaking with mouthguard in

This may indicate an incorrect fit. Re-mold the mouthguard, focusing on creating a channel for breathing and ensuring it does not obstruct speech excessively. If the issue persists, consider a different model or consult a coach.

Mouthguard feels uncomfortable or causes irritation

Check for any sharp edges or uneven molding. Gently trim any excess material if necessary. Ensure the mouthguard is clean. If irritation continues, discontinue use.

Water temperature too hot/cold during molding

Always follow the recommended water temperature and soaking times. Water that is too hot can damage the material; water that is too cool will not allow proper molding.
