FITTING
Follow the supplied instructions.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Wash your hands and the material with mild soap and water.
2. Heat water in a small glass bowl (hot to the touch but not boiling). Immerse the night guard in hot, but not boiling water until the material becomes soft and pliable. Then lift up the material with a fork or your fingers.
3. Hold the soft material as shown in the picture. DO NOT LET IT FOLD!
4. Bite down gently on the solid front bar then press the tongue against the material to hold it in place.
5. Use a mirror. Mold it against the front of the teeth with your fingertips and up on the sides to the gum line to create the shield. Make sure most of the material is on the outside of the teeth. The material will not extend to the gum line.
6. Close the lips over the night guard and gently create suction until the material has hardened. This will ensure a snug fit within a minute or so. If you are not satisfied with the result just slip the night guard back in the water, let it soften and straighten out and then start over.
Did you mess up? Unhappy with your fit? Every SOVA guard is remoldable up to 20 times. Simply place your formed SOVA back in the hot water, let it soften and straighten out, and there you go!
FITTING WITH CHILDREN:
- If your child has braces, do not use SOVA Junior. Ask their orthodontist to select and fit an appropriate alternative guard.
- Watch the fitting video with your child
- Allow ample time for fitting (we recommend two days before needed if possible)
- Identify the bite pad on the guard, and practice aligning it with the teeth before softening the guard for the first time
- The guard is formed by using gentle vacuum pressure (suction). Re-familiarize your child with the concept of suction; grab a straw and practice
- If you become frustrated. Stop and take a break!
