FAQs

What level of protection does the Silver mouthguard offer?

The Silver level offers essential protection suitable for match play in various combat sports. For extremely high-impact sports or professional athletes requiring maximum protection, higher tiers like the OPRO Gold or Platinum might be more appropriate.

Can I use this mouthguard for sports other than combat sports?

While designed for combat sports, it can offer protection for other contact sports. However, its specific design is optimized for the types of impacts common in MMA, boxing, and karate.

How often should I replace my mouthguard?

It is generally recommended to replace your mouthguard every season or if it shows signs of wear and tear, such as becoming loose, damaged, or difficult to clean. Regular replacement ensures optimal hygiene and protection.

Is the pink colour suitable for official competitions?

Colour requirements can vary by sport and governing body. It is advisable to check the specific regulations of your sport or league regarding acceptable mouthguard colours.

Can I trim the mouthguard if it's too large?

Trimming is generally not recommended as it can compromise the integrity and fit of the mouthguard. The self-fit design with stretch zones is intended to adapt to your mouth.

What is the difference between Silver, Gold, and Platinum OPRO mouthguards?

The Silver level provides standard protection. Gold offers advanced protection with additional shock absorption features. Platinum provides the highest level of protection, often with custom-like fitting features and maximum impact resistance.

Troubleshooting

Mouthguard feels loose after fitting.

Ensure you followed the fitting instructions carefully, biting down firmly and using your fingers to mould the fins. If still loose, you may need to re-fit. Check if the stretch zones are adequately engaged.

Difficulty breathing or speaking with the mouthguard in.

This can sometimes occur with a new mold. Try re-fitting, ensuring you have created a channel for breathing. The stretch zones are designed to minimize this, so ensure they are not over-moulded.

Mouthguard feels sharp or has rough edges.

During the fitting process, ensure the fins are fully softened and properly moulded. If discomfort persists, consider a re-fit or consult with a sports equipment specialist.

Fins do not seem to soften.

Ensure the water temperature is appropriate. If using a thermometer, it should be around 60-70°C (140-158°F). Reheat water if necessary, but be cautious of excessive heat damaging the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Fitting Instructions:

  1. Boil Water: Heat water to boiling point, then let it cool slightly for about 1 minute.
  2. Soak Mouthguard: Submerge the mouthguard in the hot water for the recommended time (refer to product packaging, typically around 15-30 seconds).

  5. Mould and Set: Keep the mouthguard in place for about 30 seconds, then remove and rinse with cold water to set the mold.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Rinse thoroughly with cold water after each use. Clean with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or mouthwash if needed.
  • Storage: Store in its protective case (if provided) in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not store in a damp environment.
  • Hygiene: Ensure the mouthguard is completely dry before storing to prevent bacterial growth.
