Product Information
Full details
The Opro Self-Fit Gold Braces Gumshield is an essential piece of safety equipment for athletes wearing fixed braces who participate in high-impact contact sports like rugby, hockey, MMA, or boxing. It provides a professional-grade, custom-fit experience through patented fin technology, allowing users to maintain clear speech, easy breathing, and hydration during intense activity. While it offers superior impact protection and antimicrobial benefits, users should note that the custom-molding process requires precision to ensure a proper fit over orthodontic hardware.

FAQs
Can I use this with Invisalign?
This model is specifically designed for fixed braces. It is not recommended for removable aligners like Invisalign.
How often should I replace the mouthguard?
You should replace the mouthguard after a heavy impact, if you notice signs of wear, or if your orthodontic hardware is adjusted significantly.
Is the mouthguard BPA free?
Yes, all Opro mouthguards are manufactured using high-quality materials that are latex and BPA free.
Can I remould the guard if the fit isn't right?
The Opro Gold Level can be remoulded, but for the best protection and fit, it is recommended to get it right during the first attempt.
Does the antimicrobial additive wear off?
The additive is integrated into the material during the manufacturing process, meaning it remains effective throughout the lifespan of the mouthguard.
Can I wear this for non-contact sports?
While designed for contact sports, you can wear it for any activity where you feel dental protection is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Mouthguard feels loose after molding
Ensure the water temperature was correct during the initial process. If the fit is poor, you may need to repeat the molding process following the instructions precisely.
Difficulty breathing during use
The guard may be seated too far back against the soft palate. Trim the very rear edge of the guard slightly with clean, sharp scissors if discomfort persists.
Impression of teeth is not deep enough
Ensure you are biting down with sufficient pressure into the compression cage during the cooling phase to capture the full anatomy of the teeth and braces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, follow the provided instructions exactly: submerge the mouthguard in hot water for the specified duration using the compression cage to guide the mould. Once moulded, rinse with cool water. For daily care, always store the mouthguard in its provided antimicrobial case after it has been cleaned. Rinse the mouthguard after every use with cold water or a non-abrasive mouthwash. Avoid using hot water for cleaning, as this may soften the material and alter the custom fit you have created.
