FAQs
Do I need to boil this mouthguard?
No, the OPRO Snap-Fit Mouthguard is designed for an instant fit and does not require boiling or molding.
Is this mouthguard suitable for children?
This particular model is generally suited for adults or older juniors. OPRO offers specific junior versions designed for smaller mouths. Please check product sizing if purchasing for a younger athlete.
Can I wear this mouthguard with braces?
No, this mouthguard is not suitable for wearers of fixed braces. It is designed for teeth without orthodontic appliances.
How long does this mouthguard last?
Mouthguards should ideally be replaced every season or if they show any signs of damage or wear. Regular use and cleaning will affect its lifespan.
What sports is this mouthguard best for?
It is suitable for a wide range of sports including rugby, boxing, MMA, hockey, and other ball, stick, or combat sports where dental protection is needed.
How do I clean my Snap-Fit mouthguard?
Rinse it with cold water after each use. You can also clean it with mild soap and cold water, then rinse thoroughly. Allow it to air dry completely before storing.
What is the difference between Snap-Fit and custom-fit mouthguards?
Snap-Fit mouthguards offer immediate, ready-to-wear protection without fitting. Custom-fit mouthguards are molded to the user's teeth for a more precise and often more protective fit, but require a fitting process.
Troubleshooting
Mouthguard feels loose or doesn't stay in place.
While designed for an instant fit, individual mouth shapes vary. Ensure you are positioning it correctly over your upper teeth. For a more secure fit, some users find slightly clenching their jaw helps. If the fit is consistently poor, this may not be the right model for your needs.
Difficulty breathing or speaking while wearing.
Ensure the mouthguard is seated correctly without blocking the airway. Try adjusting its position. If the issue persists, this model might not be suitable for your mouth anatomy or specific sport requirements.
Mouthguard damaged or showing wear.
Inspect the mouthguard regularly for any signs of damage, such as cracks or thinning. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately and replace it with a new one to maintain effective protection.
