Below Are The FAQs to Mold a Mouthguard
Looks Too Small When Opening Up the Package?!
Short Answer: You Have to Mold It to Expand! (Yes! Expand Up to 20%)
Some parents thought the youth mouth guard is way too small for their kids so they didn’t even try to follow the molding instruction before returning. We have a 13 year old karate champion who is still using our youth mouth guard. Please see the explanations below. 1) Mouth guard will expand up to 20% during the molding process and may be too small if not molded properly. Follow fitting instructions to ensure the best fit. Few of our customers thought the youth size one was too small for their kids but realized it actually fitted their kids very well after following the fitting instructions. 2) Our mouth guard is actually slightly bigger than our biggest competitor.
Didn’t Get Tight Fit After Molding?
Short Answer: Repeat the Process and Bite Deeper!!
Steps 4 and 5 in the instruction below are the keys to keep your mouth guard in place. In a nutshell, bite deeper for tighter grips (Step 4) and push mouth guard up and towards teeth and gums (Step 5)
Why Small Gap for Front Teeth?
Short Answer: Small Front Gap On Youth Mouth Guard Gives Your Kids Better Fit! (See Our Unique Design Below!)
Answer: The small gap for kid’s front teeth is designed for tighter fit. After putting in the boiled water for 40 seconds, the inner gel will be very soft and ready to mold. You kid can easily bite through the small gap at the front. Please keep in mind that mouth guard will expand up to 20% during the molding process and may be too small if not molded properly. Follow fitting instructions to ensure the best fit. Few of our customers thought the youth size one was too small for their kids but realized it actually fitted their kids perfectly after following the fitting instructions. We have 13 year old youth karate champion who is still using our kids mouth guard. See attached. (See “Before & After” picture below.)

How to Get a Perfect Fit for Your Oral Mart Sports Mouthguard!
“I followed it pretty much to the T, the only things that weren’t listed in the instructions were closing my mouth after I’ve put it in, sucking in while biting down and after I’ve bitten all the way through as I’m pressing with my fingers on the outside” ~ Dianne Pajo
5 Easy Steps to Fit Your Oral Mart Sports Mouth Guard Right
✅ STEP 1
Bring water to a rolling boil and turn OFF the stove. Put mouth guard in the boiled water and let it sit for 40 Seconds.
Tips: 1). Do NOT over-boil. 2). Inner gel faces down. 3). Do NOT use microwave to heat up mouth guard. 4). Boiling it right is extremely important so please make sure you watch instructional video below to boil it right.
Note: If it’s a “strapped” mouth guard, you can simply hold the mouth guard carefully by the end strap. Below is the video to boil it right.
✅ STEP 2
Do a Quick Tap Water Dunk for 1 Second “OR” Wave for a Few Seconds to Avoid Burning Mouth. (Cooling Down Too Much Will Affect Your Fitting Experience Dramatically)
Tip: Fitting a mouth guard directly after boiling gives you the best molding experience BUT your safety is more important. Please cool it down quickly only to bring surface temperature to a comfortable level. DON’T cool down too much as your fitting experience will be greatly affected.
✅ STEP 3
Watching in Mirror, Place and Align in Mouth Carefully with the Centerline of Upper Teeth. Bite on It Until Teeth Sink to the Bottom of Inner Gel Completely.
Tips: 1). When biting down, use fingers to hold outer layer and move slowly to the both ends to make sure teeth stay on inner gel. 2). Bite “deeper” for more grips. It’s totally fine to bite through the inner gel layer.
✅ STEP 4
Use Fingers to Press Edges of Mouth Guard Up & Towards Teeth and Gums to Create More Grips.
Tip: This creates more gums and teeth indentations on the side of inner gel layer for more grips.
✅ STEP 5
If You Get a Great Fit, Place Mouth Guard in Cold Water to Set It Fully. Otherwise, Repeat Step 1 through 4.
Tips: 1) There is a learning curve for some new customers who fit mouth guard for the first time. 2). If mouth guard is out of shape after a few tries. Please contact us for customer services.

1) Stellen Sie den Oral Mart Sportmundschutz in kochendes Wasser (schalten Sie den Ofen zuerst aus!) und lassen Sie ihn 40 Sekunden lang stehen. (Tipp: Nicht überkochen. 40 Sekunden ist lang genug.) Hinweis: Wenn es sich um einen umreiften Mundschutz handelt, lassen Sie den Riemen aus dem kochenden Wasser.
2) Legen Sie den Mundschutz für 1-2 Sekunden in kaltes Wasser, um ein Brennen des Mundes zu vermeiden (Tipp: Damit heißes Wasser nicht Ihren oder den Mund Ihres Kindes verbrennt.)
3) Vom Wasser entfernen. Platzieren und ausrichten in Ihrem Mund. (Tipp: Verwenden Sie beim Beißen sowohl Daumen als auch Zeigefinger, um die äußere Schicht zu halten, und bewegen Sie sich langsam zu beiden Enden, um sicherzustellen, dass Ihre Zähne vollständig auf Kurs bleiben auf dem inneren Gelteil.)
4) Beißen Sie den Mundschutz und saugen Sie Wasser und Luft aus ihm heraus. Lassen Sie es 10 Sekunden lang im Mund. (Tipp: Es ist völlig in Ordnung, durch die innere Gelschicht zu beißen.)
5) Drücken Sie mit den Fingern den Mundschutz gegen Ihre Zähne (Tipp: So hat er auch an der Seite mehr Halt.)
6) Wenn Sie keine gute Passform haben, wiederholen Sie die Schritte 1 bis 5 erneut. (Tipp: Es kann eine gewisse Lernkurve für einige neue Kunden/Eltern geben. Beantworten Sie einfach diese Nachricht, wenn wir Ihnen helfen können.)

FAQs – How to Fit Mouth Guard to Get Snug Fit (Updating! More to Come!)
Are There Different Sizes?
Yes! There are 2 different sizes.
Adult Size : 2.26 in. (W) x 2.15 in (L) x 0.81 in. (H)
Youth Size: 2.14 in. (W) x 1.78 in (L) x 0.73 in. (H)
Youth mouth guard is Mostly for Age 12 & Below
Adult mouth guard is Mostly for Age 13 & Up
Female adults with smaller mouth could go with youth size
FAQ #1: Kids mouth guards EXPAND after molding. (It may look small to you BEFORE molding. Please follow the step-by-step instruction.)
FAQ #2: The Size Suggestion by “Age” is “ESTIMATE”, which works for Most, “NOT” All, of our parents to decide if their youth athletes need an adult-size or youth-size. Kids aged between 11 and 15 could go either way. If you really can’t make a decision, please start with the youth one and see if it covers the molar teeth by the teeth marks on the inner gel. Also, female adults with smaller mouth could go with youth size too.
FAQ #3: For kids under 5 years old, dual-layer mouth guards may be too bulky. You may need to trim the ends of the kids mouth guard to make sure it fits comfortably and doesn’t irritate the back of your kid’s mouth (Yes! Extra work might be needed). Please consult your kids’ dentist before purchase.
FAQ #4: The gap for the front teeth is narrow for tighter fit. The teeth marks don’t have to be exactly on the gap. As long as the teeth stay on the inner gel, it would be fine. After putting in the boiled water for 35 ~ 40 seconds, the inner gel will be very soft and ready to mold. You kid can easily bite through the small gap at the front.
Fitting Issue? Can’t Get Snug Fit?
There are a few possible reasons you couldn’t get a snug fit.
Water was not hot enough. (Make sure you bring water to the boil before turning off the stove.)
Didn’t put mouth guard in the hot water long enough (35-40 seconds for Oral Mart mouth guard.) Note: MMA Champion Plus is thicker so it needs 50 seconds.
Put in cold water for too long. This step is to prevent a burning mouth. Putting the mouth guard in cold water for too long dramatically affect the fitting performance. Do a quick tap water dunk or wave in the air for at least a few seconds.
Other than biting deeper into the inner gel (It’s totally fine to bite through the inner gel.), please push the outer wall towards your upper teeth and gums to create more grips.
