Is there a way to loosen the Protech Dent™ mouth guard once its molded and ready to use?
This could be the consequence of the mouth guard covering too much of the gums. Everybody’s teeth and gums are different and you need to personalize the mouth guard for your mouth. Dip it into hot water and start all over again. When you bite down on the soft material this time, make sure you get less material up on the gums. Your teeth might be sensitive to pressure. The mouth guards fits well but you just want it to be slightly more lose. Just bend the fitted mouth guard open a little bit and try it again. It can easily be loosened by gently bending it open after the fitting process. A third option is to create less suction when you fit the mouth guard. The stronger suction the tighter fit.
