FAQs
Can I wear this with braces?
This mouthguard is primarily designed for natural teeth. Consult with your orthodontist before use if you have braces, as the fit may interfere with your appliances.
How do I know when to replace it?
Replace your mouthguard if you notice bite marks, cracks, or if the fit becomes loose and no longer stays securely in place.
Is the boiling process difficult?
The process is straightforward, but it requires precision timing. Follow the provided instructions closely to avoid over-softening the material.
Does this provide protection for the jaw?
Yes, the Exoskeletal Shock Frame is designed to help disperse the energy of impacts, which offers indirect support to the jaw area.
Can I use it for sports other than combat sports?
Yes, while engineered for combat, the high level of protection is suitable for any high-contact sport like rugby or hockey.
Troubleshooting
Mouthguard feels loose or falls out
The initial fitting may not have been tight enough; repeat the boil-and-bite process to achieve a closer fit.
Breathing feels restricted
Ensure the breathing channels are not blocked by debris and that you are not biting down excessively hard during use.
Mouthguard material is misshapen
The guard was likely exposed to excessive heat. Replace the guard as the protective integrity may be compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your guard, bring a pot of water to a boil, then remove it from the heat. Submerge the mouthguard for the recommended time (check specific packaging instructions), cool slightly, then bite down firmly to set the mold against your teeth and gums. For care, rinse your mouthguard with cool water or a non-alcoholic mouthwash after every use. Always store it in a ventilated case to prevent bacterial growth, and keep it away from extreme heat sources like direct sunlight or hot car dashboards, which can warp the custom mold.
