Troubleshooting
Mouthguard feels too loose after fitting
Ensure you followed the molding instructions precisely. Try re-molding following the steps carefully, ensuring a firm bite and proper molding around the teeth and gums. Check if the water temperature was appropriate.
Difficulty breathing or speaking with the mouthguard in
This can indicate an improper fit. Re-mold the mouthguard, focusing on creating a channel for breathing and ensuring the fins are correctly positioned. The mouthguard should allow for speech but may slightly alter pronunciation.
Mouthguard feels sharp or causes irritation
Inspect the edges for any molding imperfections. If the issue persists after re-molding, the specific molding may not be ideal. Contact customer support for further guidance.
Antimicrobial case not effective
Ensure the case is kept clean and dry. The antimicrobial properties are built-in and do not require activation, but physical cleaning is still necessary for hygiene. The case is designed to reduce bacterial growth, not eliminate all bacteria.
