FAQs
How often should I replace my Opro Gold mouthguard?
It is recommended to replace your mouthguard every 12-24 months, or sooner if it shows signs of wear and tear, or after experiencing significant dental trauma.
Can I use this mouthguard for sports other than combat sports?
Yes, the Opro Gold mouthguard provides superior protection and is suitable for any sport where there is a risk of dental injury, including rugby, hockey, and lacrosse.
What is the dental warranty for the Opro Gold mouthguard?
The Opro Gold mouthguard comes with a comprehensive dental warranty worth up to £15,000, providing peace of mind for your dental health.
How does the antimicrobial protection work?
An antimicrobial additive is integrated into the mouthguard material and case. This additive actively works to reduce the build-up of bacteria by up to 99.99%, contributing to better hygiene.
Is the Opro Gold mouthguard CE certified?
Yes, the Opro Gold mouthguard is legally CE certified, meeting all safety and performance standards required for protective sporting equipment.
My child has braces, can they use this mouthguard?
OPRO offers specialized mouthguards for those with braces. While the Self-Fit Gold is highly adaptable, it's best to consult OPRO's range or a dental professional for the most suitable option with orthodontic appliances.
Can I mold the mouthguard multiple times?
Yes, the self-fit mouthguards are designed to be re-molded if the initial fit isn't perfect. Follow the boiling and molding process again carefully.
Troubleshooting
Mouthguard feels too loose after fitting
Ensure you followed the molding instructions precisely. Try re-molding following the steps carefully, ensuring a firm bite and proper molding around the teeth and gums. Check if the water temperature was appropriate.
Difficulty breathing or speaking with the mouthguard in
This can indicate an improper fit. Re-mold the mouthguard, focusing on creating a channel for breathing and ensuring the fins are correctly positioned. The mouthguard should allow for speech but may slightly alter pronunciation.
Mouthguard feels sharp or causes irritation
Inspect the edges for any molding imperfections. If the issue persists after re-molding, the specific molding may not be ideal. Contact customer support for further guidance.
Antimicrobial case not effective
Ensure the case is kept clean and dry. The antimicrobial properties are built-in and do not require activation, but physical cleaning is still necessary for hygiene. The case is designed to reduce bacterial growth, not eliminate all bacteria.
