The mold paste dried out while I was trying to fit the mouth guard. Where can I get extra molding paste?

I believe I read something in the information sent with the mold kit that if you need more you can send off for it. Read the papers that accompanied your kit thoroughly, it should mention what to do if that happens.

Contact the company and they can send you some more of the molding paste. The important thing is to work quickly when you are molding the mouth guard.

The company is incredibly helpful --- before you mix the two, have an idea of what you will be doing with it. I had my husband help me so I could work quickly. Good luck!

contact the seller; for an additional fee they will send you more of the mold material.

I would first try the manufacturer, but I am guessing that given the price, it is not designed to be repaired. You could try mounting a piece of hacksaw blade to replace the broken teeth.

absolutely simmer hot water and place the toothpick into the upper mouth guard, let it sit in the water for 18 seconds exactly, thewn you take it out and mold it to your upper teeth, hold for 2 minutes. Make sure the mouthguard is centered, take the mouthguard out and let it sit on the side for 2 minutes. Do the same thing with the bottom mouth guard. After those two minutes are done rinse them under cold water and throw out the . When using the mouthpiece rinse it under warm water, not boiling and scrub it nightly with toothpaste and a toothbrush ( I just put liquid soap on it, and wash it out), it's much easier.

Try direct from Nodic Ware. That would be your best bet. If you can not get it from them try a local hardware store for the rubber seal. Anything else ??????? Good Luck.

The mold fits on the top teeth and protects both top and bottom. I would think that you the me on the bottom teeth if you wanted to fit the bottom . But I would ask the manufacturer

I used a blow dryer, some Goo-Gone and dental floss. It took a bit of time, and required more Goo-Gone after it came off to get the glue residue off too. Not too bad though.

My tip fit on to my old waterpik perfectly until I had to buy a new waterpik. It does not fit on the new waterpik...any suggestions?

Hi BradleysMom, I would go to sporting smiles website and call them or email them directly. The trays for me were molded about 12 teeth worth for the top and 14 teeth worth on the on the bottom. It's really the front 4-6 in my opinion that hold the trays in place so I don't see why it wouldn't work. Definitely call just in case though. I hear their customer service is friendly.

I've been using the Clear Casting Epoxy from EasyCast. Got it at Hobby Lobby, little cheaper then Amazon. Don't need to get their easy release mold spray, just use my fingers and thumbs to release it from the mold.

You can woth most silicone molds, but I would double check with the company, they are really helpful.

The mouth guard is pretty thick and I would say this would not be a problem. Eventually normal use will require a replacement.

I had the trays made by my dentist. The trays fit my teeth perfectly since there was a mold made to conform to my teeth. You can order kits to make your own, but they aren't as good and difficult to make. You mold it to your teeth and send it back to them and they send you the trays. We tried to do this with my husband's teeth. They didn't fit well.

Take the gum paste or fondant may not be very soft is better an as firm and strong not too dry.Push in, covering all the mould with enough paste.And the paste that comes out on cutting it with a knife, trying that when you pushing into this have to be firm and you could mark the face and the body.

Take a tip from my Scotch Mounting Tape instructions. It's a different product, but I imagine the advice would still work: "Use a piece of dental floss or wire, held tautly between two hands. Pull back and forth, to split the foam, and release the mounted object. Remove the remaining material with citrus cleanser (after testing in an inconspicuous location)."

They have a 30 day guarantee where they will work with you. If you screw up the mold they only charge you a nominal fee for some more impression compound. I have both the soft and hard versions and it is very apparent that the soft does not last as long. However it is cheaper (especially if you order more than one at $50) and slightly more comfortable. If you don't feel comfortable spending all that money the soft guard is still an excellent choice that will last you at least six months.

Hi Anne,You put it in hot water (can't remember how long but it's very well explained in the notice). You put it in your mouth and bite for about a minute.Keep a glass of fresh water next to you. it's easy to burn yourself.If you fail have a good mold on the first try, it's going to be hard to recover. But it is the same for all molded mouth-guards in general.

I had a similar situation. they do not fit well over existing. however I got the Dremel and trimmed them. I made them fit. Used the plastic beads to secure them in place and they did fine. but make no mistake! You cannot eat with them.
