I have broken the Seal on the mouthguard case, can I still return it?

How long should I place my mouthguard in hot water?
No longer than 10 seconds. For full instructions, please follow the Product Instruction leaflet that is sent with the goods.
Do I need to buy a new mouthguard if my child is in the process of getting their second teeth?
No, just drop the mouthguard in hot water for 8-10 seconds and then remould the guard against any new teeth that are coming through. (See the Product Instruction leaflet for full details). Once the majority of the second teeth are through you may have to purchase a new “Senior” mouthguard generally for those aged 13+.

Generally our “Junior” range is aimed at children aged up to 13 years old. The “Senior” range is for those who have their second adult teeth – generally age 13+.
Does the mouthguard contain latex?
No, our mouthguards do not contain latex.
Are the colours used in the manufacturer of the mouthguards safe to use?
Yes, all of our colours are in line with The European Chemical Agency (ECHA) list and so are deemed harmless.
Mouthgard care and maintenance advice
1 – Store it: Check that the mouthguard is kept in a clean mouthguard case.
2 – Check it: Visually inspect the mouthguard to see that it is in good condition, not worn through or with any defects.
3 – Wear it: Ask the athlete to place the mouthguard in their mouth and then open wide. Make sure that the mouthguard stays in place when the mouth is open and does not need additional support to stay in place.
4 – Clean it: At the end of the session, clean the mouthguard, dry and store in the mouthguard case.
