Ronin Double Mouth Guard Senior - Various colors

If you go sparring, we would always advise to wear a mouth guard. This does not only protect your teeth, but mostly it protects the jaw. 
If you see a blow coming, you unconsiously brace yourself and this includes clenching your jaw. If you are wearing a mouth guard, you will bite into your mouth guard and the pressure and tension will be distributed evenly over the jaw to reduce chances of breaking.

This double mouth guard has in contradiction to most of the other mouth guards a layer of protection for the upper teeth as well as the lower teeth. The guard has a little red link between the teeth. This should be left in place when the guard is being mold. Its purpose is to create two little holes for breathing when wearing the double mouth guard. This does mean that those two slits are the only space you have for breathflow. This might seriously limit your breathing whe training! 

Colours

The double mouth guard is available in black, transparent and blue-transparent.

How to use 

Attention: Always be careful with boiling or hot water.

• Keep the red plastic in place while shaping the mouth guard, this will keep the breathe-openings in place!
• Boil some water in a pan or the water boiler and have a bowl with some cold water at the ready.
• When the water is boiling, pour it into a seperate heat-resistant bowl. Take the mouth guard and drop it carefully in the bowl with hot water.
• Leave the mouth guard in the hot water for 30 seconds, then take it out carefully with a fork or spoon and place it carefully in your mouth. The guard should be warm, but not hot
• Gently press the mouth guard against your teeth from the out- and inside of your mouth. Nibble slightly on it, to give pressure from the bottom as well, and make sure to suck hard, to make sure there is no air left between your teeth and the mouth guard. Do not bite down too hard, or you can bite through the material when it is soft. When you go through it cannot be reshaped.
• When the guard is molded to your satisfaction, place it in the bowl with cold water and leave it in for a minute or two to let it harden.

If you are not happy with the fit, the mouth guard can sometimes be molded again, but after 2 or 3 tries it usually is not fit to re-mold again. 

A small tip: take a toothbrush with some toothpaste and brush the mouthguard regularly to keep it fresh(tasting). 

Please note that mouthguards are hygiene products. This means that we are unable to take back sealed items that have been openend.
