Reazeal mouthguards are designed for a snug, comfortable, and protective fit. Proper fitting is crucial for optimal performance and injury prevention. This guide will walk you through the custom fitting process, addressing common questions and concerns.
What's Included in My Reazeal Mouthguard Kit?
Your Reazeal mouthguard kit should contain the following:
- The mouthguard blank: This is the thermoplastic material that will be molded to your teeth.
- Instructions: These detailed instructions should guide you through the process.
- Case: To store your custom-fitted mouthguard.
How Do I Boil and Bite My Reazeal Mouthguard?
This is the core of the fitting process. Follow these steps carefully:
-
Boil Water: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Ensure the water is deep enough to completely submerge the mouthguard blank.
-
Heat the Mouthguard: Carefully place the mouthguard blank into the boiling water for the exact time specified in your Reazeal instructions (usually around 15-20 seconds). Do not leave it unattended.
-
Remove and Cool: Using tongs or a similar utensil, remove the mouthguard from the water. Gently shake off excess water. Let it cool slightly—it should be pliable but not too hot to handle.
-
Position and Bite: Quickly place the mouthguard into your mouth, positioning it over your upper teeth. Bite down firmly and evenly, holding it in place until it hardens (this takes around 30-60 seconds).
-
Remove and Inspect: Carefully remove the mouthguard and inspect it. If necessary, you can trim or refine the fit using a scissors (follow instructions for this process).
How Long Does it Take for a Reazeal Mouthguard to Harden?
The hardening time depends on the material and the ambient temperature. Reazeal instructions usually specify a timeframe of roughly 30-60 seconds. It's crucial to hold the mouthguard firmly in place during this period for a secure fit.
Can I Re-boil and Re-fit My Reazeal Mouthguard?
While some mouthguards allow for re-fitting, Reazeal's instructions should clarify whether this is possible with their specific model. Check your instructions carefully. Repeated boiling and re-fitting may compromise the mouthguard's structural integrity.
What if My Reazeal Mouthguard Doesn't Fit Properly?
If the mouthguard doesn't fit properly after following the instructions, contact Reazeal customer service. A poorly fitted mouthguard can be uncomfortable and ineffective.
How Do I Clean My Reazeal Mouthguard?
Clean your mouthguard regularly with soap and water after each use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
What if My Reazeal Mouthguard is Too Tight or Too Loose?
If your mouthguard is too tight, it might cause discomfort or even injury. If it's too loose, it won't offer adequate protection. Minor adjustments might be possible if your Reazeal instructions allow it (often involving trimming excess material), but a significant problem warrants contacting Reazeal customer support. A properly fitted mouthguard should fit snugly but not painfully.
Remember to always follow the specific instructions provided with your Reazeal mouthguard kit. If you have any questions or encounter problems, contact Reazeal’s customer support for assistance. A well-fitted Reazeal mouthguard provides essential protection and enhances comfort during sporting activities.
