FAQs
Is this mouthguard latex-free?
Yes, the Safegard Essential Mouthguard is manufactured without latex, making it safe for those with allergies.
What does Level 2 protection mean?
Level 2 protection indicates that the guard is designed for moderate impact contact sports, providing a higher level of defense than basic guards.
Can I use this mouthguard if I wear braces?
Generally, boil-and-bite mouthguards are not recommended for use with braces unless specifically advised by an orthodontist, as the molding process can interfere with brackets.
How often should I replace my mouthguard?
You should inspect your mouthguard regularly for signs of wear, such as thinning or tearing. If the guard is damaged or no longer fits securely, it should be replaced immediately.
Which safety standard does this product meet?
It conforms to the BSI DD-253-2001 safety standard.
How do I store the mouthguard correctly?
Store your mouthguard in a clean, dry, and ventilated case to prevent bacteria growth and maintain its shape.
Troubleshooting
The mouthguard feels loose after molding
You may need to reheat the material gently and re-mold it, ensuring you press the guard firmly against your teeth and gums during the cooling process.
Mouthguard is uncomfortable or digs into gums
If the edges are too sharp or long, you can carefully trim the excess material using clean scissors once the guard has fully cooled.
The guard changed shape during the boiling process
The water was likely too hot or the guard was submerged for too long. Re-submerge for a shorter duration to soften and attempt to reshape, or use a new guard if the integrity is compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Safegard Mouthguard, bring a container of water to a boil, then remove it from the heat source. Submerge the mouthguard for the recommended duration specified in the included instructions, then carefully remove it. Once the temperature is safe, bite down firmly to imprint your teeth into the material and use your fingers or tongue to press the edges against your gums for a tighter fit. For maintenance, rinse the guard with cold, clean water after each use and store it in a ventilated case. Avoid exposing the guard to excessive heat or direct sunlight when not in use, as this can warp the custom mold.
