FAQs
Can I wear this mouthguard with braces?
Consult with your orthodontist before use, as mouthguards can interfere with orthodontic hardware.
How often should I replace my mouthguard?
It is recommended to replace your mouthguard at the start of every season or if you notice significant signs of wear, chewing, or damage.
Is the material BPA-free?
Yes, the D3 Tape Gel Contrast Mouthguard is made from high-quality, non-toxic, and BPA-free materials.
Can I re-mold the guard if the fit isn't right?
Yes, you can generally re-mold the guard by re-boiling it, but avoid doing this too many times as it can degrade the material.
What is the best way to clean the storage case?
Wash the case periodically with warm, soapy water and let it air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
The mouthguard is loose and falls out easily.
The initial molding may not have been tight enough. You can re-boil and re-mold the guard once to achieve a better fit.
The guard feels too bulky in the mouth.
Ensure you are biting down firmly during the initial molding process to compress the gel layers for a slimmer profile.
There is a buildup of odor or residue.
Regularly clean the guard with an antibacterial mouthguard cleanser or mild soap and cool water, and ensure it is fully dry before placing it in the storage case.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your D3 Tape mouthguard, boil a pot of water and submerge the guard for the duration specified in the product packaging (typically 30-60 seconds). Carefully remove it with a slotted spoon, let it cool for a few seconds to avoid burns, and then bite down firmly while pressing the edges against your teeth with your fingers. Do not bite through the guard. Once set, rinse under cold water to solidify the fit. For ongoing care, rinse the mouthguard with cool water or a non-abrasive mouthwash after every use. Always store it in the provided ventilated case and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or hot vehicles, as heat can warp the material and ruin the custom fit.
