Since then Shock Doctor continued to innovate and create their own style of mouthguards like the Gel Max. All of that made this company the leader in the mouthguard industry with more than 10,000 retail locations.

  • During the molding process, you have to pay extra attention to the temperature of the water or you risk to completely destroy the mouthguard.

Shock Doctor Superfit Mouthguard Fitting Instructions

Just like we mentioned before you have to be careful when molding this mouthguard. Here are the things you need before starting the molding process:

  • temperature strip (included in the package) or thermometer
  • slotted spoon
  • mirror
  • bowl
  • pot/pan
  • timer
  • 16 oz. glass measuring cup

Molding process

Heat 16 oz. water in the microwave but do not boil. Pour 12 oz. in the glass measuring cup. Fully immerse the temperature strip provided in the mouthguard package. Add small amounts of room temperature water to lower the temperature. DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOUTHGUARD IN THE HOT WATER.

The right temperature is around 145-150 degrees. Check the temperature strip to see if the indicator is green/gold in color. If you have the flavor fusion you can drop the temperature to 135-140 degrees.

Submerge the mouthguard face up in the water.

Wait 35-40 seconds before removing the mouthguard (after 30 move the mouthguard slightly to avoid it sticking to the bottom).

Handle it gently because it is very pliable. Make sure the teeth channels are straight and ready to fit in your mouth.

Center and align it on the upper teeth. Push up on the mouthguard and slowly bite down with the front teeth to initiate a custom impression. Use the mirror to see what is going on.

Firmly press outside the mouthguard against the front row of your teeth and gums, then suck in air to create a vacuum while continuing to compress the mouthguard against teeth and gums.

Maintain pressing against teeth with a firmer bite until the mouthguard starts to harden, continue for approximately 4 minutes to get a custom adjustment.

Drinking and swirling ice-cold water for 2-3 minutes can speed up the hardening process.

Remove the mouthguard and place it in ice-cold water for 3-5 minutes. After this check to see the fit. If is not as tight as intended you can repeat the warming process.

Here is a video explaining the whole molding process
