Review on 🏈 Optimized Gel Max Mouth Guard by Shock Doctor - Ideal Mouthguard for Football, Lacrosse, Hockey, Basketball - Flavored, Suitable for Youth & Adult Players by Brian Schultz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Read the instructions!

Much simpler grip and tooth shape than expected. Follow the instructions literally and they will mold to your mouth with ease. However, violating the instructions can result in wasting much more time than expected. The idea is to heat the mouthguard in boiling water, which also kills germs, just enough to make the mouthguard soft and stretchy enough to conform to your teeth. If you heat them for too long, the mold can become too loose and may not adhere properly to the gum line, meaning the mouthguard will loosen and create a gap where a lot can go wrong on impact. It's easy to chill properly. About 2 seconds under cold water is all you need, but if you follow the instructions and chill it for much longer, the mouthguard will become hard and you'll have to start over. Instructions are important, but protection works wonders.
