How do you clean a mouthguard or night guard?
To keep your mouthguard clean and hygienic, rinse it with cold water or a mouth rinse after each use, and clean it with mild soap and a toothbrush at least once a week. Avoid using hot water as it can warp the material. Let it air dry completely before storing it in a ventilated container.

How do mouthguards work?
Mouthguards are protective devices that cover the teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury to the teeth, lips, and gums. They are especially useful in sports to protect against impacts and during sleep to prevent damage from teeth grinding. By distributing force over a larger area, mouthguards help minimize the risk of dental injuries and reduce the severity of concussions.

How should a mouthguard fit?
A properly fitted mouthguard should be comfortable yet snug against your teeth and gums. It should stay in place without having to clench your teeth, allow you to breathe and speak normally, and provide even coverage over your teeth. If you feel any discomfort or if the guard slips out easily, it may need to be adjusted or replaced.
