FAQs
Can I use this mouthguard if I have braces?
It is generally not recommended to use standard boil-and-bite mouthguards with braces without consulting your orthodontist, as the heat can affect the appliance.
How often should I replace my mouthguard?
It is recommended to replace your mouthguard at the start of every season or sooner if you notice visible signs of wear, tearing, or if the fit becomes compromised.
Is this mouthguard latex-free?
Yes, the Safegard Essential Mouthguard is constructed without latex, making it a safe choice for those with latex allergies.
What does Level 2 protection mean?
Level 2 protection indicates the device has been tested to meet specific impact absorption standards appropriate for moderate-contact sports.
Can I put the mouthguard in the dishwasher?
No, you should never place your mouthguard in the dishwasher as the high heat will melt or warp the plastic, destroying the custom mold.
Troubleshooting
The mouthguard feels too loose after molding.
You may need to repeat the boil-and-bite process. Ensure the water is hot enough to soften the material but not so hot that it destroys the structure.
The guard causes irritation to the gums.
Check if there is excess material along the edges. If so, you can carefully trim small amounts using clean scissors once the material has fully cooled.
The mouthguard is difficult to breathe through during use.
Ensure you are not biting down too hard during the molding phase, which can thin the material or obstruct the air channel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Safegard Essential Mouthguard, follow the provided instructions exactly: submerge the mouthguard in hot (not boiling) water for the recommended duration, then carefully place it over your upper teeth, biting down gently but firmly to mold the material. After molding, rinse under cold water to set the shape.
Care Instructions:
- Rinse thoroughly with cold water after every use.

- Store in a ventilated case to allow the guard to dry completely.
