Shock Doctor Gel MAX Mouthguard - Pink

Boil water, then remove from heat. Submerge the mouthguard for 30-60 seconds. Briefly cool in cold water. Place in mouth, bite down, suck out air, and press firmly for 30 seconds. Cool under tap water to set the mold. Repeat if necessary for a perfect fit.

The Shock Doctor Gel MAX Mouthguard is designed for optimal protection in all contact and impact sports, including football, hockey, basketball, boxing, martial arts, rugby, and more, where dental impact is a risk.

It is recommended to rinse and clean your mouthguard after *every* use with cool water and a mild soap or non-abrasive toothpaste to prevent bacteria buildup and maintain hygiene.

While the `gel fit liner` provides a secure fit, talking and drinking might be slightly challenging initially. The `integrated breathing channel` helps with airflow, but getting used to speaking with a mouthguard takes practice. You can drink water, but solid foods should be avoided.

The lifespan depends on usage frequency, intensity, and care. With proper cleaning and storage, it can last several seasons. However, inspect it regularly for signs of wear, tears, or damage and replace it immediately if compromised to ensure continued protection.

While some Shock Doctor mouthguards are specifically designed for braces, the Gel MAX might not be ideal without modifications, as the molding process could interfere with orthodontics. Always consult your orthodontist for recommendations on mouthguards compatible with braces.

This usually indicates the molding process wasn't fully successful. Carefully repeat the molding steps, ensuring you bite down firmly and suck out all air and water while pressing against your gums to achieve a tighter, custom fit.

Ensure the `integrated breathing channel` is not obstructed and that the mouthguard is correctly positioned. Sometimes, a slight adjustment or re-molding to relieve pressure on the airway can resolve this. If the issue persists, consult the product's specific instructions or a dental professional.

A proper mold should minimize discomfort. If specific areas are rubbing, you might need to gently trim small edges with clean scissors, but be careful not to compromise the protective structure. Re-molding might also help achieve a smoother fit.
