Custom Comfort Dental Guard | Box of 12

What You Need To Begin

• A pot (if using a stove) or a ceramic cup (if using a microwave)
• A metal spoon or fork
• A clock with a second hand
• A ceramic plate
• A mirror

Fitting Instructions

1. Using either a stove or microwave, bring a pot or cup of water to a rolling boil.
2. Remove pot or cup of boiling water and let it rest for 15 seconds.
3. Place the dental guard with the soft, formable material facing DOWN into the hot water for 50 seconds.
4. Remove it with a metal spoon or fork and place on a plate (with the soft, formable material facing UP) for 10 seconds to cool off.
5. Immediately pick up the dental guard by the base and carefully place in your mouth but do not bite down yet. While looking in a mirror, align the center below your front two teeth and the sides below your molars.
6. Firmly bite down and strongly suck in to remove excess moisture. With teeth clenched, use your fingers to mold the soft, formable material up and around the outside of your teeth and gums. Use your tongue to mold the material against the roof of your mouth.
7. Open your mouth and use your thumbs to mold the soft, formable material against the roof of your mouth and up and around the inside of your teeth and gums.
8. Firmly bite down again and leave the dental guard in your mouth until it cools to body temperature - about 3 to 4 minutes.
9. If you achieved a comfortable fit and the dental guard stays in place, you have finished the fitting process and are now ready to wear your DenTek Custom Comfort Dental Guard.

If you did not get a good fit the first time, repeat the boiling process one more time beginning with Step 1. After two attempts, however, the material loses retention and you will need to fit the bonus dental guard.

Cleaning and Care

After each use, brush your dental guard with toothpaste and/or mouthwash. Never rinse in hot water as it could alter the shape of your dental guard.


Replacing Your Dental Guard

All dental guards should be replaced over time. Please check your dental guard monthly for wear. If one wears out, please use the bonus dental guard included. The life of your DenTek Custom Comfort Dental Guard depends on how often you grind and the force of your teeth grinding. On average, each dental guard should last approximately six months or longer.
