The Shock Doctor Gel Max Mouth Guard is designed to provide critical protection in high-impact sports such as football, hockey, basketball, boxing, and martial arts. Its Exoskeletal Shock Frame acts as a barrier, absorbing and dispersing forces from direct impacts, thereby protecting your teeth, jaw, and brain from potential concussions. The Gel Fit Liner ensures that once molded, the mouthguard stays securely in place, allowing you to focus on your performance without distraction or the need to constantly readjust.
The integrated breathing channel is a significant advantage, particularly during intense physical activity. It helps maintain airflow, which can be crucial for endurance and comfort. The triple layer design provides a balance of cushioning, protection, and structural integrity, contributing to its effectiveness in real-world scenarios where impact is a constant risk. Users report feeling confident and secure, knowing their dental health is well-protected.
For optimal protection and comfort, proper fitting of your Shock Doctor Gel Max Mouth Guard is essential. Follow these steps for the 'boil-and-bite' molding process:
Boil Water: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil.
Submerge: Carefully submerge the mouthguard into the boiling water for approximately 20-30 seconds. (Always refer to specific instructions included with your product, as times may vary).
Cool Slightly: Remove the mouthguard with a slotted spoon and quickly dip it into cool water for 1-2 seconds to cool the outer surface and prevent burns.
Position: Place the mouthguard into your mouth, centering it on your upper teeth.
Bite Down: Bite down firmly, creating a vacuum by sucking strongly, and using your fingers to press the mouthguard against your gums and teeth for about 20 seconds.
Cool Completely: Remove the mouthguard and place it in cold water for at least 30 seconds to set the custom shape.
If the fit is not ideal, you may carefully repeat the molding process once or twice.
This mouthguard is generally compatible with individuals participating in contact sports where dental protection is required. It is available in various sizes (e.g., adult, youth) to ensure a proper fit. Always select the appropriate size for your age group.
Rinse After Each Use: After every use, rinse your mouthguard thoroughly with cool water.
Clean Regularly: Clean your mouthguard with a toothbrush and mild soap or a non-abrasive mouthguard cleaner. Do not use abrasive toothpastes or harsh chemicals.
Store Properly: Store your mouthguard in a clean, vented mouthguard case when not in use. This prevents bacterial growth and protects it from damage.
Avoid High Heat: Do not leave your mouthguard in direct sunlight or in a hot car, as extreme heat can distort its shape.
