Full details

FAQs
Can I wear this with braces?
This mouthguard is primarily designed for natural teeth. Consult with your orthodontist before using if you have braces, as the fit may interfere with your appliances.
How often should I replace my mouthguard?
You should replace your mouthguard after any significant impact, or if you notice visible signs of wear, tears, or if the fit becomes loose over time.
Is the gel lining safe?
Yes, the gel material is non-toxic and specifically designed to be safe for use in the mouth.
How do I store the mouthguard properly?
Always store it in a clean, ventilated case when not in use to avoid contamination and heat damage.
Can I use boiling water from a kettle?
Yes, but ensure the water temperature is consistent and the mouthguard is not left in for longer than the recommended duration to prevent melting.
Troubleshooting
Mouthguard feels loose after molding
You may have under-molded it. Re-boil the mouthguard according to the instructions and re-bite with firm pressure.
Mouthguard is too bulky or causing gag reflex
Ensure the back edges are not pressing too far into the soft palate. Trim excess material carefully with scissors if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the mouthguard, follow the 'boil-and-bite' instructions provided by the manufacturer precisely; submerge the guard in boiling water for the recommended time before biting down to create the custom impression. Avoid over-boiling, as this can degrade the gel liner. For compatibility, this model is designed for adults and youth athletes involved in contact sports. After each use, rinse the mouthguard with cool water and use a mild antimicrobial mouthwash to keep it clean. Store it in a ventilated case to allow for complete drying and prevent bacterial growth.
