FAQs
Can this mouthguard be used with braces?
This model is primarily designed for use without braces. If you have braces, consult your orthodontist for a specialized orthodontic mouthguard.
How often should I replace my mouthguard?
It is recommended to replace your mouthguard at the start of every season or if you notice signs of wear, tears, or a loss of fit.
Can I remold the mouthguard if it doesn't fit?
No, the Gel Max is designed for a one-time custom mold. Attempting to remold it may damage the gel lining.
How do I clean it after practice?
Rinse with cold water or a specialized mouthguard cleaner. Avoid using hot water as it may soften the molding.
What sports is this suitable for?
It is ideal for high-impact contact and combat sports, including MMA, boxing, football, and rugby.
Troubleshooting
The mouthguard feels loose or falls out.
The initial molding process was likely not tight enough. Ensure you bite down firmly and create a vacuum by sucking in air when molding.
The mouthguard is difficult to breathe through.
Ensure you are not biting too deeply into the material during the molding process, which can block the front air channels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, submerge the mouthguard in boiling water according to the provided timing instructions and then press it firmly onto your teeth to create the custom mold. Ensure you are in front of a mirror during this process to ensure perfect alignment. Once molded, rinse with cool water. For daily care, rinse the mouthguard after every use with water or an antimicrobial mouthwash. Store it in a ventilated case to prevent bacterial growth and keep it away from extreme heat, such as direct sunlight or hot car interiors, which could warp the material.
