Boil and Bite Mouthguards
The Game On Advantage
Author: Dr. Monroe Elkin, BS PHARM., DMD
Custom Fit Without No Boiling Required
Custom-fit, boil-and-bite mouthguards have been the best in the business for a long time. That’s because a mouthguard that can be fit precisely to your teeth stays on better during strenuous sports activity and can make it easier to breathe than plain, bulky mouthguards. With Game On sports mouthguards, you don’t even need to boil the mouthguard—you can fit it to your teeth using the microwave.
If you’re wondering whether you need a mouthguard or not, chances are that you do. Whether you’re in a full-contact sport like football, wrestling, or basketball or you’re into an individual sport like skiing or skateboarding, a mouthguard can protect you from dental injuries. Approximately 39% of all dental injuries occur as a result of sports participation. Continue reading to learn about how our mouthguards are better than the standard boil-and-bite mouthguards and why our mouthguards are the best on the market.
How to Fit the Game On Sports Mouthguard to Your Teeth
Fitting the Game On mouthguard to your teeth is simple and takes only a couple of minutes. You’ll need a wet paper towel, a microwave, and a bowl of cold water. First, you wrap the paper towel around the mouthguard and microwave on high for about 30 seconds. It will be hot at this point, so dip it, still wrapped, in the bowl of cold water for a few seconds.
After unwrapping the mouthguard, bite down on it gently. Push the front of the mouthguard to your teeth, unless you have braces. Then close your mouth over the mouthguard and suck it for a minute to ensure a tight, comfortable fit. Again, if you have braces, don’t do this part. Your mouthguard will still mold to your braces and fit well without it.
We include detailed fitting instructions with each sports mouthguard so you can see exactly how to customize it to your teeth. If you want to see a video or have lost your instructions, you can find detailed instructions on our website.
Our mouthguards are perfect for athletes with braces. It can be difficult to find a mouthguard that fits well and comfortably over braces, but our mouthguards, designed with the help of dental professionals, are a perfect fit over traditional braces. You don’t have to worry about buying additional mouthguards when your teeth move or the braces come off, either. Our mouthguards can be reheated and remolded to your teeth each time their configuration changes.
What else makes Game On sports mouthguards the best?
Game On mouthguards were developed with the help of sports dentistry and polymer experts so they provide a precision fit that absorbs shock better than standard mouthguards. They are also more comfortable so you are able to speak, breathe, and hydrate normally when you wear them. This can be especially beneficial for youth athletes who might not understand the importance of protecting their teeth and mouth with mouthguards and might leave them behind if they are uncomfortable.
In addition to absorbing shock, the Game On sports mouthguards can protect against lacerations to the inside of the mouth that can happen when athletes receive a blow to the face. It’s especially important for players with braces to protect against these types of impacts to the lips, gums, cheeks, and tongue. Not only do mouth wounds produce a lot of blood, but a great deal of pain as well. And it can end up costing you a pretty penny if one or more teeth gets knocked loose.
Beyond protection, Game On sports mouthguards are an excellent choice because of all the ways you can customize them. You can choose from a variety of colors or simply pick a clear mouthguard. If you want a mouthguard in your favorite color or in a color that matches your team’s uniforms, you will likely be able to find it among our selection.
In addition to choosing the color you prefer, you can get anything that fits printed on your mouthguard. Maybe you want your name or number printed on your mouthguard, or your team name. If you want, you can have your team logo or mascot printed on your mouthguard instead. We can customize your mouthguard in any way you want, including the size and a choice between a mouthguard with or without a strap.
