Golden Rules
Always
Cold water only
Soft toothbrush only
Never hot water
Store in its vented case
01
Before & after sport
- Rinse in cold water before and after every use.
- Brush with a soft toothbrush, cold water and a little mild soap, then rinse.
- Let it air-dry, then store it in its ventilated case.
- Don’t chew it — chewing distorts the fit and reduces protection.
- Don’t seal it away wet in a bag — let it dry first.
02
Keeping its fit & protection
- Keep it out of heat — hot water, direct sun and car interiors warp it.
- Bring it to dental check-ups so the fit can be reviewed — especially for growing children.
- ! Replace it if it becomes loose, torn, or no longer covers the teeth fully.
- Don’t share it with anyone else.
