FAQs
How do I properly fit the Opro Silver Mouthguard?
The fitting process involves submerging the mouthguard in hot water, then carefully molding it to your teeth and gums by biting down and using your fingers and suction. Detailed steps are provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section.
What age is this mouthguard suitable for?
This mouthguard is designed for users aged 10 years and above.
Can I use this mouthguard with braces?
While designed for a custom fit, it is generally recommended for users without fixed braces. If you have braces, consult your dentist or orthodontist for advice or a specialized mouthguard option.
How often should I replace my mouthguard?
It is recommended to replace your mouthguard every season or if it shows signs of wear and tear, such as damage to the fins, deformation, or a loss of fit. Over time, protection can be compromised.
How do I clean the mouthguard?
After each use, rinse the mouthguard with cold water. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and cold water. Ensure it is completely dry before storing it in its case.
What is the main difference between the Silver and other Opro mouthguards?
The Silver model focuses on providing a balance of durable impact protection and comfort through its dual-layer design and fin technology. Higher-tier models might offer more advanced materials or features for even greater protection.
Troubleshooting
Mouthguard feels loose after fitting
Ensure you followed the fitting instructions precisely, particularly the step involving sucking out air to create a vacuum. Re-fitting may be necessary if the fit is still not secure.
Difficulty breathing or speaking with mouthguard in
This often indicates an improper fit or a guard that is too large. Check the fitting process or consider a size adjustment if possible. A well-fitted guard should allow for easier breathing.
Mouthguard feels uncomfortable or causes gagging
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists after a proper fitting, the specific shape or material may not be compatible with your oral anatomy. Try re-fitting, ensuring it covers only the necessary teeth and gums.
Material has become deformed
The mouthguard may have been exposed to excessive heat. Store it in its case and away from heat sources. If significantly deformed, it may need to be replaced for effective protection.
