The Shock Doctor Gel Max Mouth Guard excels in providing critical dental and jaw protection during high-impact sports such as football, hockey, boxing, and martial arts. The gel fit liner ensures that once molded, the mouthguard stays securely in place, allowing you to focus on your performance without constant adjustment. The exoskeletal shock frame and integrated jaw pads work synergistically to absorb and disperse the force of direct impacts, significantly reducing the risk of dental injuries or concussions caused by jaw impacts. Its triple layer design adds another level of shock absorption, making it a reliable barrier against common athletic trauma. The integrated breathing channel is a key feature for athletes, facilitating unobstructed airflow, which is crucial for maintaining stamina and performance throughout rigorous training or competition. This mouthguard is built for adult athletes who demand uncompromising protection and a comfortable fit.
Gather Supplies: You will need a pot, water, a slotted spoon, and a timer.
Boil Water: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil.
Submerge Mouth Guard: Carefully place the mouth guard into the boiling water using the slotted spoon. Follow the manufacturer's specific timing instructions, typically around 30-60 seconds. Do not exceed recommended time to prevent damage.
Cool Slightly: Remove the mouth guard from the boiling water and immediately submerge it in cool tap water for 1-2 seconds. This cools the outer layer but keeps the interior pliable.
Place and Bite: Carefully place the mouth guard into your mouth, aligning it centrally. Bite down firmly, sucking out all the air and pressing with your fingers against your lips and cheeks to mold the material around your teeth and gums. Hold this position for about 20-30 seconds.
Cool Completely: Remove the mouth guard and immerse it in cold water for at least 30 seconds to set the shape.
Test Fit: Try on the mouth guard. It should fit snugly and securely without needing to be held in place. If the fit is not ideal, you can usually repeat the molding process once or twice.
This Shock Doctor Gel Max Mouth Guard is designed for adult use only and is suitable for a wide range of impact sports.
Clean After Each Use: Rinse your mouth guard thoroughly with cold water after every use. You can also clean it with mild soap and water or a mouthguard cleaning solution.
Dry Completely: Ensure the mouth guard is completely dry before storing to prevent bacterial growth.
Store Properly: Store your mouth guard in a ventilated case when not in use. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can deform the material.
Inspect Regularly: Periodically check your mouth guard for signs of wear and tear, such as tears, holes, or thinning. A damaged mouth guard may not provide adequate protection and should be replaced.
