Basketball Mouthguard
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
ITEMS NEEDED
• Temperature strip included with instructions (Fig. 1)
• Large clear safety glass measuring cup or small sauce pan (Fig. 2)
• Mirror • Slotted spoon if desired • Thermometer if desired
NOTE: The mouthguard has a very tight and close fit. The advanced material softens to a firm
putty-like consistency that provides ample time to manipulate and form to the teeth.
Take Your Time and Don’t Rush.
1. Heat water to between 150 F and 160F (Fig. 2)
• Heat 16 oz water on stove, in sauce pan DO NOT BOIL, and pour 12 oz into glass measuring cup
- OR -
• Heat 16 oz water in glass measuring cup in microwave pour out approx. 4 oz. to result in 12 oz.
• Fully Immerse Temp Strip in water. (Fig. 3) (It can be trimmed with a scissor at the 100 degree
mark to fit more easily in container). A thermometer can also be used
• Mix in small amounts of room temp water to cool hot water to lower the temperature
• Non-Flavored Mouthguard: 150 temp indicator is Green/Gold in color, or about 145 degrees
• Flavor Fusion Mouthguards: 140 temp indicator should be Green/Gold in color, or about
135-140 degrees
• Remove Temp Sensor Strip from water
2. Place Mouthguard in warm water
• Insert mouthguard, facing up, into warm water at bottom of container (Fig. 4)
• When mouthguard rises toward the surface of the water or about 35 - 45 seconds, wait 5
more seconds and gently remove. (use a spoon edge to slightly move mouthguard in water
after 30 seconds to avoid it sticking to bottom) Notice that Mouthguard sidewalls and shape
have relaxed (Fig. 5)
• Remove mouthguard from warm water. Handle gently as mouthguard will be very pliable. Make
sure soft walls are straight and the arch channel is clear for fitting onto teeth
• Do Not Rush. You have time to get a great fit
3. Placing and fitting mouthguard correctly
• While facing mirror carefully Center and Align mouthguard on upper arch of teeth (Fig. 6)
• First, press inside rim of mouthguard into back of front teeth and roof of mouth and side of teeth
(Fig. 7)
• Second, push up on bottom of mouthguard along all teeth then slowly bite down with front teeth
into front channel to initiate custom impression. Do Not bite hard or you could bite
through soft material (Fig. 8)
• Third clench teeth slowly together, yet firmly, on the whole
mouthguard and begin to suck out air and press tongue against
inside rim of mouthguard (Fig 9)
