Product Information
Full details
The D3 Tape Gel Contrast Mouthguard is designed for athletes participating in high-impact contact sports who prioritize both dental safety and personal style. Featuring a robust dual-layer construction with integrated jaw pads, it excels at absorbing shock and providing a secure, comfortable fit for extended periods. While it offers excellent protection, users should note that as a boil-and-bite style guard, it requires careful molding to ensure the correct fit for optimal effectiveness.

FAQs
Can I remold the D3 Tape mouthguard if the first fit isn't right?
Yes, you can typically remold the guard by repeating the boiling and fitting process, though it is best to get it right the first time to preserve the material's integrity.
Is this mouthguard suitable for children?
It is suitable for athletes with developed dental arches, but we recommend checking that the size is appropriate for the individual's mouth.
How often should I replace my mouthguard?
It is recommended to replace your mouthguard at the start of every new season or sooner if you notice visible signs of wear, tearing, or if the fit becomes loose.
Can I wash the mouthguard in the dishwasher?
No. The high heat from a dishwasher will warp the material and destroy the custom fit.
Does this mouthguard contain latex?
The D3 Tape Gel mouthguards are generally made from food-grade thermoplastic materials that are latex-free.
Troubleshooting
Mouthguard feels loose after molding
The guard may not have been molded long enough in hot water. Repeat the boiling and fitting process to ensure a tighter seal.
Mouthguard is uncomfortable or causing gagging
The rear edges may be too long. Trim a very small amount of material from the back of the mouthguard with clean scissors, ensuring not to compromise the structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your D3 Tape mouthguard, you must first perform a 'boil and bite' fitment. Heat water to a near-boil, submerge the mouthguard for the recommended duration specified in your packaging, and carefully bite down to imprint your dental structure. Allow it to cool in cold water to set the shape.
Regarding compatibility, this guard is designed for standard adult and youth dental structures. If you wear braces or other complex orthodontic appliances, consult your orthodontist before use. For care, always rinse the mouthguard with cold water after every use and store it in the provided case. Never expose the mouthguard to high heat (like a hot car dashboard) as this can warp the material and ruin the fit.
