For athletes and active individuals seeking reliable oral protection, the Shock Doctor Gel Max Mouthguard in Orange offers a superior custom fit and robust shock absorption. Its innovative design provides confidence during play, ensuring your teeth and jaw are well-protected, though proper fitting is crucial for optimal performance.
Gel Fit Liner: This innovative liner material softens when heated, allowing it to mold precisely to the unique contours of your teeth and gum line, creating a tight, secure, and personalized fit.
Shock-Absorbing Exoskeleton: The tough, reinforced outer body acts as a protective shield, designed to absorb and disperse impact energy effectively, minimizing the force transferred to your teeth and jaw.
Built-in Jaw Pads: Integrated into the design, these pads provide additional cushioning and stability, further enhancing the mouthguard's ability to absorb shock and protect against impacts.
Enhanced Protection: Far superior to basic single-layer mouthguards, this multi-layer construction offers comprehensive protection against dental injuries.

Boil Water: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Take it off the heat.
Submerge Mouthguard: Carefully place the Gel Max mouthguard into the hot water for approximately 30-60 seconds (refer to specific packaging instructions if available, otherwise start with 30 seconds). Use tongs or a spoon, do not touch with bare hands.
Remove & Cool: Remove the mouthguard from the hot water and quickly dip it in cool water for 1-2 seconds to cool the outer surface while keeping the inner gel pliable.
Position & Bite: Carefully place the mouthguard in your mouth, centering it over your upper teeth. Bite down firmly, pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth and sucking out all air and water to create a vacuum seal. Use your fingers to press the mouthguard against your gums and teeth.
Hold: Hold this position for about 20-30 seconds to allow the gel liner to form a custom impression.
Cool Completely: Remove the mouthguard and place it in cold water for at least 30 seconds to set the mold.
Test Fit: Try on the mouthguard. It should feel snug and secure, staying in place without needing to be held by your teeth or tongue. If the fit isn't perfect, you can usually re-mold it once or twice by repeating the process.
This mouthguard is suitable for a wide range of contact and non-contact sports requiring oral protection, including but not limited to basketball, football, hockey, lacrosse, martial arts, and boxing. It's designed for adults and older youth.
Clean After Each Use: Rinse your mouthguard thoroughly with cool water after every use. You can also clean it gently with a toothbrush and mild soap or toothpaste.
Store Properly: Store the mouthguard in a clean, ventilated case to prevent bacterial growth and protect it from damage. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Inspect Regularly: Periodically check your mouthguard for tears, cracks, or excessive wear. A damaged mouthguard may not offer adequate protection and should be replaced.
