Product Information
Full details
The Shock Doctor Gel Max Mouthguard is designed for athletes participating in intense combat sports who prioritize dental safety and comfort. Its primary benefit is a high-performance, shock-absorbing triple-layer construction that cushions impact to minimize injury risks. While the mouthguard offers superior protection, users must be diligent during the custom-fit molding process to ensure it remains securely in place during vigorous activity.

FAQs
Can I use this with braces?
No, this specific model is not designed for use with braces. Please seek a specialized orthodontic mouthguard.
How long does the mouthguard last?
Lifespan varies based on usage intensity; however, it should be replaced if it shows visible wear or loses its secure fit.
Is the gel lining safe for sensitive teeth?
Yes, the gel is non-toxic and designed to cushion teeth comfortably, though you should consult a dentist if you have extreme sensitivity.
Can I wash the mouthguard in the dishwasher?
No, high heat from a dishwasher can warp the material and ruin the custom fit. Use mild soap and cool water.
Does this mouthguard come in different sizes?
The Gel Max is generally a one-size-fits-all model designed to be molded to your specific dental profile.
Troubleshooting
Mouthguard feels loose after molding
You can perform a re-fit by carefully re-boiling and re-biting, provided you follow the cooling safety instructions.
Difficulty breathing with the guard in
Ensure you are not biting too deeply into the base during molding, which can obstruct the breathing channel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Boil and Bite Setup: Bring water to a rolling boil, submerge the mouthguard for the specified time, let it cool briefly, and then bite down firmly into the gel lining for 30 seconds to create your custom impression.
- Compatibility: This model is designed for adult athletes and general combat sports applications. It is not intended for use with braces; consult a dental professional if you have orthodontic hardware.
- Care and Hygiene: After each use, rinse the mouthguard with cold water or a specialized antiseptic mouth rinse. Store it in a clean, ventilated case to prevent bacteria growth and ensure it maintains its shape.
