Frequently asked questions
How do you mold a heat-moldable mouthguard?
You dip it in hot water for the time specified by the brand, then bite down on it to take the impression. Some models can be remolded several times.
When should you replace it?
As soon as it is punctured, deformed or no longer stays in place. After major dental work, redo the impression.
Single or double?
A double covers both jaws but hinders breathing. In MMA, the single upper mouthguard is the norm.
