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.
