Product Information
Full details
The OPRO Self Fit Gen5 Bronze Mouthguard in White is designed for entry-level and training athletes seeking reliable dental protection during contact sports. Its key benefit is a comfortable, personalized fit achieved through a self-molding process, ensuring it stays secure during intense activity. A potential caveat is its single-layer construction, which provides good protection but may not offer the same impact absorption as multi-layer professional models. This mouthguard features a shock-absorbing construction, inner gel channels, and classic fin technology for a custom fit, along with a fitting handle for ease of use. It's made from BPA and Latex-free materials, allowing for easy breathing and speech.

FAQs
What is the difference between the Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum OPRO mouthguards?
The Bronze level is the entry-level, single-layer mouthguard for general protection. Higher levels (Silver, Gold, Platinum) offer increased impact absorption through multi-layer constructions and advanced features, suitable for higher-impact sports and elite athletes.
How long does the OPRO Self Fit Gen5 Bronze Mouthguard last?
For optimal hygiene and protection, it is recommended to replace your mouthguard every season or at least every six months, especially if it shows signs of wear or damage, or if you have had dental work done.
Can I use this mouthguard if I have braces?
Yes, the OPRO Self Fit Gen5 Bronze Mouthguard can be fitted over braces. Follow the fitting instructions carefully, ensuring you mould it around the brackets and wires to achieve a secure fit and adequate protection.
Is this mouthguard suitable for children?
Yes, this mouthguard is suitable for individuals aged 10 and above. Ensure an adult supervises the fitting process for younger users.
Why does the fitting handle help?
The fitting handle allows you to immerse and remove the mouthguard from the hot water without touching it and provides a grip during the moulding process, helping you achieve a precise and secure fit by pressing it against your teeth and gums.
What does BPA and Latex-free mean for me?
It means the mouthguard is made without Bisphenol A and natural rubber latex, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or exposure to potentially harmful chemicals, making it safer for oral use.
Troubleshooting
Mouthguard is too loose after fitting
Ensure you followed the moulding steps precisely, biting down firmly and using your fingers to mould tightly against teeth and gums. If it remains loose, you may need to re-mould following the instructions carefully.
Difficulty breathing or speaking with the mouthguard in
Check if the mouthguard is positioned correctly. Ensure it is not excessively large or bulky in your mouth. Re-moulding might help adjust the fit for better airflow. Ensure the fins are not blocking your airway.
Mouthguard feels too hard or uncomfortable
Make sure the water temperature for boiling was correct and you didn't over-boil the mouthguard. Allow it to cool sufficiently before moulding. The material should soften enough to mould comfortably.
Mouthguard feels sticky or retains odor
Rinse thoroughly with cold water after every use and wash with mild soap and cool water regularly. Ensure it is dried completely before storing to prevent bacterial growth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup (Moulding Process):
- Boil Water: Bring a kettle of water to a boil and let it stand for 30 seconds.
- Prepare Mouthguard: Place the mouthguard in a bowl and pour the hot water over it for the recommended time (refer to packaging for exact duration, typically 30-60 seconds).
- Cool Slightly: Carefully remove the mouthguard from the water using a spoon and allow it to cool for a moment until it is comfortably warm, not hot.
- Position and Mould: Place the mouthguard into your mouth, ensuring it is positioned correctly. Bite down firmly onto the fins and use your fingers to mould the sides against your teeth and gums. Suck out any air or saliva.
- Chill: Once moulded, place the mouthguard in cold water for at least 1 minute to set the shape.
Compatibility:
This mouthguard is designed for general use in most contact sports. It is suitable for individuals aged 10 and above. It is compatible with braces if fitted correctly over them, though specific instructions for brace fitting may apply and should be followed carefully.
Care:
- Cleaning: Rinse the mouthguard thoroughly with cold water after each use.
- Washing: Wash with mild soap and cool water regularly. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the mouthguard to air dry completely before storing.
- Storage: Store the mouthguard in its provided case in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
