Shock Doctor Gel Max Mouthguard - White

Boil water, submerge the mouthguard for 30-60 seconds until pliable, cool briefly in cold water, then bite down firmly and suck to create a custom mold. Cool in cold water to set. Detailed steps are in the 'Setup' section.

It's recommended to replace your mouthguard at the start of each new sports season, or immediately if it shows signs of wear, tearing, or damage, as its protective capabilities may be compromised.

The Shock Doctor Gel Max Mouthguard is generally not recommended for use with braces. Wearing a standard boil-and-bite mouthguard with braces can potentially shift orthodontic work. We recommend consulting your orthodontist for specific recommendations or looking for mouthguards designed explicitly for braces.

After each use, rinse it with cool water. Clean regularly with a toothbrush and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly. Store in a ventilated case. Avoid hot water, harsh chemicals, or direct sunlight.

It is ideal for any contact or impact sport where dental protection is essential, including football, basketball, hockey, boxing, martial arts, lacrosse, and more.

The triple-layer design refers to the combination of the heavy-duty rubber exoskeletal shock frame (outer layer), the custom-fitting Gel-fit liner (middle layer), and an inner layer, all working together to provide maximum protection, fit, and comfort.

Re-boil and bite the mouthguard, following the fitting instructions carefully. Ensure you bite down firmly and create suction to mold it precisely to your teeth and gums.

Check for any sharp edges or areas that might be rubbing. A slight re-molding might help. Ensure the mouthguard isn't too large; if discomfort persists, consult the manufacturer or a dental professional.

Ensure the mouthguard is properly seated and not obstructing your airway. The integrated breathing channels should allow airflow. If difficulty persists, re-fit it carefully, paying attention to how it aligns with your natural breathing.

While the Gel Max is designed for maximum protection, some initial bulkiness is normal. Ensure it's correctly molded to minimize excess material. Practice wearing it during non-activity times to adjust.

Clean your mouthguard thoroughly after every use with a toothbrush and mild soap, then rinse. Store it in a ventilated case to prevent bacterial growth. If the odor persists, a mouthguard cleaning tablet designed for oral appliances may help.
