Shock Doctor Gel Max Mouth Guard - Grey

It is recommended to replace your mouthguard at the start of each new sports season, or immediately if you notice any signs of wear, tears, or damage. A damaged mouthguard compromises protection.

The Shock Doctor Gel Max Mouth Guard is generally not recommended for use with braces due to the custom molding process which could interfere with orthodontic adjustments. Consult your orthodontist or look for mouthguards specifically designed for braces.

After each use, rinse your mouthguard with cool water. You can also brush it gently with a toothbrush and mild soap, or use a non-abrasive mouthguard cleaning solution. Always air dry it completely before storing in a ventilated case.

The Shock Doctor Gel Max Mouth Guard is ideal for all contact and impact sports where dental and oral protection is necessary, including but not limited to football, basketball, hockey, boxing, martial arts, and rugby.

You can typically re-mold the mouthguard 1-2 times. Carefully re-boil it for a slightly shorter duration than the initial molding (e.g., `45-60 seconds`), then repeat the fitting steps, focusing on a firm bite and pressing it snugly against your teeth and gums.

Shock Doctor mouthguards are generally made from medical-grade silicone and EVA materials. While latex is not typically used, if you have specific allergies, please refer to the product packaging for a full list of materials or contact Shock Doctor customer support.

This particular model, the Gel Max, is primarily designed for adults and older youth due to its size and molding requirements. For younger children, Shock Doctor offers specific youth-sized mouthguards. Please check the product packaging for specific age guidance.

The initial molding may not have created a snug fit. Re-boil the mouthguard for `45-60 seconds` and repeat the molding process, ensuring you bite down firmly and suck out all air while pressing against your teeth and gums.

This could indicate an improper fit or that the mouthguard is too large. Ensure the fitting process was done correctly. If discomfort persists, trim excess material from the back edges with scissors, taking care not to cut too much, and then re-mold if necessary.

Check that the integrated breathing channel is clear and unobstructed. If the mouthguard feels too bulky or shifts during breathing, try remolding it with a focus on creating enough space around the breathing channel, or consider trimming any excess material that might be impeding airflow.
