Thanks for the video, I simply let mine sit for about 3 seconds out of the boiling water testing it with my fingers and then, truly did suck inward and pushed inward with my fingers on my upper lip !!
Thanks for your video

[@danbutler3757]

You are more than welcome, thank you for doing the video, I think sucking inward on your mouth to close down the mouth cavity allows perfect absolutely perfect formation.
The key really is getting the timing correct.
I did use one mouthpiece and found it was easier after watching your video and a couple of others.
The mouthpiece that I'm using actually snaps off of my properties and the formation that is absolutely perfect. Thank you!

[@SenseiDavid]

@@danbutler3757 Awesome glad it worked for you and your right...you have to get the timing in the hot water as well as molding! its really easy once you get the hang out of it

[@ralphyazigi]

Great video!!
But i have a question: should i bite with my bottom teeth too? Or only my upper teeth should be molded onto the mouthguard?

[@SenseiDavid]

both at same time

This is good because it is the same mouth guard I got

[@SenseiDavid]

so did it work for you? many make the mistake of leaving it to long and melting it

[@Jod328]

Worked good thanks

[@thatoneguy5330]

hei I have a question...can I fight (boxing, MMA etc) with braces on...and can mouthguard protect it ???...pls answer this question lol

[@SenseiDavid]

Quick question: if I’m able to push my mouthguard off with my tongue, but stays still and stuck when I’m talking, does that mean it fits?

[@SenseiDavid]

Yes if it’s attached it’s fitting perfectly

[@magnexgx5334]

I overdid mine:(

[@lethalgunplayz7949]

how long did u warm the water

[@SenseiDavid]

i believe it was 1 min but this can vary with microwaves it just needs to be hot enough to soften the plastic

[@SenseiDavid]

So how many mouth guards have you gone through?

[@danbutler3757]

1

[@acadii2150]

[@SenseiDavid]

@Patchkin :D and how did it come out?

[@davidmorenomatias8791]

What if I got braces

[@SenseiDavid]

you can still mold it

[@cloud_monkey422]

David Moreno Matias if you have braces go to your orthodontist. They’ll have one for you or will recommend you one.

[@jules7307]

There a mouthpieces specifically for that

[@JP-je9oj]

It says on my mouth piece to boil for 45 seconds

[@SenseiDavid]

thanks for watching and commenting even though one should follow the instructions i try to keep an eye on it because it really depends on how hot the water gets ... i don’t stress on the water boiling the idea is to soften the material enough to mold it

[@tonogarza2088]

Do you have to cut it

[@SenseiDavid]

no , you have to do whats best for your personal fit

[@mylbii]

How hard should I bite it?

[@SenseiDavid]

hard enough that it shapes around your teeth but the plastic must be soft for it to work

[@iambueno3880]

I use my at my glory hold to deep throat.

[@thatoneguy7127]

How can I get mouth guards for braces

[@SenseiDavid]

you could buy a normal mouth guard and just mold it the same way. the plastic will mold around your braces

[@PRHILL9696]

I was also told to make sure the guard does not touch or cover your gums as it dames them and to cut the edges so it does not touch the gums. Yet as soon as I do that it no longer stays in my mouth and no longer fits. I keep buying these and cannot get it to stay in once I cut the top edges. But again I cannot have the top edges touch my gums so seriously how can this work?

[@Mowgli_ll]

Ive never heard that it isnt suposed to touch your gums … who told you that?? To me that makes no sence and it seems whoever told you that was misinformed but i could be wrong … i dout it tho

[@spaceiscoolforever51]

Yes

[@PRHILL9696]

@@Mowgli_ll Yeah I dont think it hurts them. i think that person does not know what they are talking about

[@SenseiDavid]

sounds about right

[@SenseiDavid]

you know you can trim them… just trim off a little and keep trimming till you have a comfortable fit

[@romoasaolu9425]

does this protect bottom teeth

[@SenseiDavid]

yes

[@madgamer7281]

hi

[@SenseiDavid]

hi there, welcome to my channel

[@alexisperez7323]

Does this work for bottom teeth??

[@SenseiDavid]

yes but if you have really thick material it may take longer to soften it so you have to keep an eye on it

[@alexrunk599]

How long do I boil

[@SenseiDavid]

you just need the water to be hot enough to soften the mouth guard . in a microwave 30sec should be enough. if your boiling on a stove once you see bubbles it’s more then hot enough

[@SenseiDavid]

So did you have success

[@danbutler3757]

I actually used a microwave, for about 2 minutes, and wasn't quite enough so I would say 2 minutes and 15 seconds, probably depending on your microwave

[@SenseiDavid]

@@danbutler3757 yea it varies by microwave..some are stronger then others.
