How do you boil a mouthguard?

Answer 1

You can boil a mouth-guard multiple ways. For example you could:

1. Boil it in hot water then mold it to your mouth

2.Microwave it then put it in your mouth and let it mold

There are probably more ways as well but those are the most basic.

Answer 2

Usually my pots have the hole on top, so downward from above.

Seriously, you want it positioned so you can quickly grab and throw in mouth as quick as possible. Take a slotted ladle and sit the guard in it and lower it in for a few seconds until soft, then lift ladel, grab and throw guard in mouth, bite hard and suck all the air out of your mouth and hold mouth shut with hands because it burns. Hold for 30 to 45 seconds and run cool water over it when done to cool and harden.

Answer 3

To boil a mouthguard, place it in a pot of boiling water for 30-60 seconds. Remove the mouthguard with tongs and let it cool slightly before shaping it to fit your mouth. Be careful not to leave it in the boiling water for too long to prevent damage.
