FAQs
How do I fit the D3 Tape Gel Contrast Mouthguard?
Follow the 'boil-and-bite' instructions provided, which involve softening the guard in hot water and biting down to create an impression of your teeth.
Is this mouthguard suitable for braces?
Consult with your orthodontist before use, as standard mouthguards may interfere with braces or orthodontic work.
Can I clean this with toothpaste?
It is generally recommended to use cool water or mild soap, as some toothpaste ingredients can be abrasive to the mouthguard material.
How often should I replace my mouthguard?
Replace your mouthguard if it shows signs of wear, tearing, or if your dental structure changes significantly.
What colors are available?
The D3 Tape Gel Contrast Mouthguard comes in several color variants including Black, Red, Pink, Blue, White/Black, and Green.
Troubleshooting
Mouthguard is loose or falls out easily
The molding process may not have been completed long enough; repeat the fitting process following the boiling instructions carefully.
Mouthguard feels uncomfortable or causes gagging
Trim the excess edges of the material carefully with small, sharp scissors after the initial fit to ensure it does not extend too far back.
Material has warped
Ensure the guard is not left in hot water for too long during the molding process or left in direct sunlight/hot environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, submerge the mouthguard in boiling water for the time recommended in the packaging instructions, then carefully mold it to your upper teeth using firm pressure. Ensure it cools completely before testing the fit. For daily care, rinse the mouthguard with cool water after every use and occasionally clean it with mild soap or a specialized mouthguard cleanser. Always store the guard in the provided storage container to prevent deformation and bacterial accumulation. Avoid exposing the guard to extreme heat, such as direct sunlight or hot dashboards, as this can cause the material to warp.
