FAQs
Is this mouthguard suitable for children?
While it is a standard fit, it is designed primarily for adults and teens; younger children may find the size too large.
Can I wear this with braces?
It is generally not recommended to use standard boil-and-bite mouthguards with braces unless specifically advised by an orthodontist.
How often should I replace the mouthguard?
You should replace the mouthguard if you notice cracks, significant deformation, or if it no longer fits securely against your teeth.
Does the Nike Alpha CE come in different colors?
Yes, this model is available in Blue, Red, and Black colorways.
Can I use hot water to clean the guard?
No, always use cool water. Hot water can soften the material and alter the custom fit you have already established.
Troubleshooting
Mouthguard is too loose after fitting
You may have left it in boiling water for too long or didn't compress it enough; try the fitting process again carefully once.
Mouthguard feels uncomfortable or bulky
Trim the edges slightly using clean, sharp scissors once the guard has cooled completely to prevent gum irritation.
Persistent bad odor
Clean the mouthguard with a specialized oral appliance cleaner or a mild dish soap and cool water, then ensure it is fully dry before storing it in the case.

- Lightweight design prevents bulky or uncomfortable sensations

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To setup your mouthguard, bring a pot of water to a boil and remove from the heat. Submerge the mouthguard for the recommended time (check specific package instructions), carefully remove it, let it cool for a few seconds, and press it firmly against your upper teeth, biting down gently while molding the edges with your fingers. Do not bite through the material. Compatibility is generally universal for most adults and older teens. For care, always rinse the mouthguard with cool water or an antimicrobial mouth rinse after each use. Store it in the provided protective case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can warp the material.
