4. Basic clear heat moldable mouthguard

• • Fitting Instructions
    1. Fill saucepan with 2 to 3 inches of water. Bring water to a boil
    2. Remove water from heat source. Let water stand for 30 seconds, then place mouthguard in water for 10-15 seconds. Do not exceed 15 seconds. Make sure mouthguard is not too pliable or melted. 
    3. Carefully remove mouthguard from water with a spoon, tongs, or fork. If using tongs, be careful not to squeeze the mouthguard too tightly, as this could deform it. 
    4. Cool mouthguard under tap water for 1-2 seconds only to bring surface temperature to a comfortable level. 
    5. Lick your lips before placing mouthguard in your mouth. 
    6. Watching in mirror, line up mouthguard carefully with the centerline of upper teeth. Fit mouthguard onto and around upper teeth and press firmly into molars first then front teeth. 
    7. Bring lower jaw forward and up into base of mouthguard with teeth in alignment with lower channel. Bite down on mouthguard, suck strongly, and use fingers to press edges of mouthguard into teeth and gum line through lips and cheeks for 20 seconds. 
    8. Remove mouthguard and cool under tap water for 30 seconds. Replace into mouth and test for a good, firm fit.
