Troubleshooting
Mouthguard won't mold properly
Ensure water temperature was correct and mouthguard was submerged for the recommended time. Reheat and refit following instructions carefully.
Mouthguard feels loose or falls out
The fit may not be secure. Try refitting, ensuring you bite down firmly and mold the material tightly around your teeth and gums.
Difficulty breathing or speaking with mouthguard in
Ensure the mouthguard is positioned correctly and not blocking the airway. Refitting may help achieve a more comfortable position.
Material feels sticky or rough
This can occur if the water was too hot or the mouthguard was over-boiled. Ensure correct water temperature and timing for future fittings.
