Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your guard, submerge it in hot water (following provided temperature guidelines) for the specified duration before biting down to form the shape. Avoid biting too hard during this stage to prevent thinning the material. For compatibility, ensure you are not currently wearing permanent retainers or fixed braces that might conflict with the molding unless you are using a model specifically rated for them. After use, rinse the mouthguard with cold water or a non-alcoholic mouthwash. Store it in a clean, ventilated case to prevent bacterial growth and maintain the shape of the guard. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or hot vehicles, as heat can deform the material.
