Custom fitting: Before you begin boiling water, conduct a test fitting.

3. Use a stove or microwave to bring a cup of water to a rolling boil
4. Carefully remove the cup from the heat source and let the boiling water rest for 15 seconds
1. Place the dental guard with the soft, formable material facing down into the hot water for 50 seconds
2. Use a fork or spoon to remove the dental guard from the hot water and put it on a plate for 10 seconds to cool
5. Pick up the dental guard by its base and carefully place it in your mouth, but do not bite down yet. Looking in a mirror, align the guard to center below your top front teeth and the sides below your molars
8. Firmly bite down and strongly suck in to remove excess moisture. With your teeth clenched, use your fingers to mold the soft, formable material up and around the outside of your teeth and gums. Use your tongue to mold the material against the roof of your mouth
9. Open your mouth and use your thumbs to mold the soft, formable material against the roof of your mouth and up and around the inside of your teeth and gums
6. Firmly bite down again and leave the dental guard in your mouth until it cools to body temperature (3-4 minutes)
7. If the dental guard fits comfortably and stays in place, you have successfully complete the fitting process. If you did not get a good fit the first time, you can repeat the boiling process one more time (steps 1-9); however, after the second attempt the material loses retention

Cleaning and care: After each use, brush your dental guard with toothpaste and/or mouthwash. Never rinse in hot water as it could alter the shape of the dental guard. All dental guards should be replaced over time. The life of your dental guard depends on how often you grind your teeth and the amount of force. On average, your dental guard should last about six months.
