Following the initial delivery of the guard, there might be an adjustment period. Kindly inform us if the guard feels uncomfortable or does not fit properly.

Refrain from using toothpaste to clean your guard. Instead, cleanse your guard between uses with an over-the-counter solution designed for oral devices, like Polident (available on Amazon). After removing your guard from the cleansing solution, gently scrub it with a toothbrush and rinse thoroughly.
