FAQs
How often should I re-mould the mouthguard?
You should only need to re-mould the mouthguard once for a custom fit. Re-molding is generally only necessary if the fit becomes compromised or if you need to adjust it after initial molding.
Can I use this mouthguard for braces?
This mouthguard is not specifically designed for use with braces. For orthodontic mouthguards, consult with your orthodontist or look for products designed for users with braces.
What is the lifespan of the mouthguard?
The lifespan varies depending on usage frequency and care. It is recommended to replace your mouthguard every season or sooner if it shows signs of wear and tear, or if the fit is no longer secure.
Is this mouthguard suitable for children?
This is a senior-sized mouthguard. For younger children, a junior-sized mouthguard is recommended to ensure a proper and safe fit.
How do I clean the mouthguard effectively?
After each use, rinse it with cool water. Periodically clean it with a soft toothbrush and mild toothpaste or mouthwash. Avoid using hot water or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
Can I talk and drink with the mouthguard in?
While the improved airflow design helps, talking and drinking may still be somewhat difficult. It is best removed for drinking fluids other than water, and typically removed for extensive communication.
Troubleshooting
Mouthguard is too loose after molding.
Ensure you followed the molding instructions precisely, biting down firmly and using your tongue to shape the gel. You may need to re-mould the mouthguard.
Difficulty breathing with the mouthguard in.
Check that the airflow channels are clear and that the mouthguard is not obstructing your airway. Ensure it is properly molded and not pressing too hard on the roof of your mouth.
Mouthguard feels uncomfortable or causes gagging.
This may indicate an improper fit. Try re-molding the mouthguard, ensuring it covers the teeth and gums correctly without extending too far back.
