How should I clean the mouthguard?

Rinse the mouthguard with cold water after each use and clean it with mild soap and water or a specialized mouthguard cleaner. Always store it in its ventilated case.

Does the mouthguard affect my ability to breathe or talk?

When fitted correctly, the OPRO Silver mouthguard is designed to allow for easy breathing and speech. If you experience difficulty, it may require refitting.

What makes the 'Silver' level different from other OPRO levels?

The 'Silver' level typically indicates a standard for protection and performance suitable for match play, offering a balance of comfort and defense for many sports.

Troubleshooting

Mouthguard won't mold properly

Ensure water temperature was correct and you followed the fitting steps precisely. Reheat and refit if necessary, ensuring firm pressure is applied during molding.

Difficulty breathing or speaking

The fit may be too tight or not molded correctly. Try refitting, ensuring you shape it around your teeth and leave adequate space for breathing.

Mouthguard feels loose or falls out

Re-attempt the fitting process. Ensure you are biting down firmly and using your fingers and tongue to create a tight seal around each tooth.

Mouthguard has a strong plastic smell

This is normal for new mouthguards. The smell should dissipate after a few uses and thorough cleaning. Airing it out in its case can also help.
