Things You'll Need:
- Pot
- Tongs
-
Step 1
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Drop a boil-and-bite mouth guard in the water for 10 to 15 seconds, until it is soft and pliable.
-
Step 2
Remove the mouth guard from the boiling water with tongs. Allow it to cool for a moment, until it is not too hot to touch.
-
Step 3
Position the guard in your mouth and bite down hard. Hold your bite for several seconds.
-
Step 4
Remove the mouth guard from your mouth and dip it into cold water to harden the mold.
-
Step 5
Check the fit once the mouth guard has cooled completely. Repeat the process, as necessary, until the proper fit is achieved.
