All OPRO Self-Fit sports mouthguards have been designed to provide protection from potential injury to teeth and soft tissue and to remain firmly in place when being worn. The level of protection and retention increases with each level of mouthguard from Snap-Fit through to Instant Custom-Fit.

In order of most protection and retention to least: Instant Custom-Fit, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Snap-Fit.

Teeth, unlike bones, do not heal. Injury to teeth is permanent and the effects can be traumatic. Using a well-fitting, CE certified mouthguard gives your teeth and gums the best possible protection from dental trauma.

Bacteria can thrive in the most unlikely of places, something that is best avoided in an item that goes into your mouth many times during its lifetime.

From Silver level upwards, OPRO Self-Fit sports gum shields contain a Biomaster antimicrobial additive. This odour and taste-free additive protects the product against bacteria for the lifetime of the product, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as MRSA.

Our junior mouthguards are suitable for children up to age 10. When they reach the age of 10, we suggest that you use an adult mouthguard.

It’s worth bearing in mind that children do grow at different rates, therefore a children’s mouthguard requirement is based on the individual - this is a general guideline based on our experience.

We have mouthguards suitable for individuals with fixed braces. They have been specially designed to fit around a fixed brace and still provide the same level of protection as the non-brace versions.

We have braces versions of our mouthguards which are suitable for wearers of fixed braces. They have been specially designed to fit around a fixed brace and still provide the same level of protection as the non-braces versions.

Definitely not! Gum shields are not designed or intended to be worn at night. If you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding), contact us about our specially-designed night guards.

Absolutely. Provided that you follow the moulding instructions carefully and do not leave your mouthguard in the hot water for longer than 20 seconds on each occasion, our mouthguards can be moulded multiple times.

OPRO Self-Fit mouthguards feature our unique fin technology. These fins are rib-like structures that soften and become gel-like in hot water. Based on millions of dental impressions, these fins are placed in exactly the right place to grip your teeth. Between the hot water bath and anatomical placement, the gum shield moulds snugly around your teeth and soft tissue to provide outstanding fit and retention.

All OPRO Self-Fit gum shields are fully CE certified. This guarantees that every mouthguard meets the required standards for protection and retention. From mouthguard level Silver and upwards, a second layer has been added to provide even more retention and extra peace of mind when playing your sport.

Yes, OPRO mouthguards are legally CE certified and we also have the UKCA logo.

We suggest using OPRO cleaning tablets to ensure your mouthguard stays hygienically clean and minty fresh. Do not use toothpaste or anything abrasive as this will cause damage to your mouthguard.

This depends on your age and the condition of your mouthguard. Children and those undergoing orthodontic treatment should change their gum shields on a regular basis. Mouthguards should also be inspected frequently to check for any signs of wear and tear. Older children and adults may not grow, but the mouthguard will wear down with use so we would recommend replacing your mouthguard annually.

Please also note that our comprehensive dental warranty is only valid for a year from the date of purchase.

Each OPRO mouthguard comes complete with full instructions inside the pack. Follow the instructions on the fitting leaflet carefully. You can also check out our fitting videos here.
