Care instructions
Always clean your gum shield with cold water following use. Do not use mouthwashes, toothpaste or other detergents. Clean the gum shield box with warm water and always ensure that your gum shield is dry before storing it in the box. Always keep your gum shield in its box when not in use and inscribe the user's name indelibly on the gum shield box. Do not chew your gum shield. Do not wear your gum shield if it is showing signs of wear, cracks or splits, dispose of it and replace it with a new one. Do not allow any person other than the named user to use the gum shield. Do not expose your gum shield to extreme heat or direct sunlight, always store it in the box when not in use. Parents should check the fit of a child's gum shield regularly to ensure that it is not conflicting with the development of the mouth and teeth. If you have a brace or other device fitted to your teeth, consult your dental surgeon or orthodontist about the suitability of the gum shield. Never wear a gum shield with a brace unless it has been approved by the person fitting the brace.
Helpful fit notes
The Platinum Mouthguard has 13 anatomical fins placed in exact positions to mould snugly to your teeth. When the mouthguard is dropped into hot water, the fins, made from an ultra-flow gel material, soften so that when you compress them against your teeth and gums they create a mouthguard unique to you.
- Choose this Adult size mouthguard for ages 11 to 99 years, checking the size guide if you are unsure.
- Use the fitting cradle to position the mouthguard straight into your mouth and help avoid a wonky mouthguard.
- Unlike other mouthguards, the Platinum Mouthguard comes with holes at the front and on either side where the cradle sits during fitting. This ensures a minimum amount of ultra-impact resistant material, which provides air cushions for added protection against blows or shots to the teeth and gums.

FAQs
Can this gum shield be used for contact sports?
Yes. It is designed as a protective gum shield for ball, stick and combat sports. No gum shield will completely eliminate the risk of injury, but this risk is significantly reduced compared with not wearing one at all.
What size is this OPRO Platinum mouthguard?
It is available in Adult size, age 11 to 99 years. If you are unsure which size to choose, check the size guide on the product page or contact School Wear United before ordering.
How does the self-fit moulding work?
The mouthguard takes minutes to mould. Its 13 anatomical fins soften in hot water, then compress against the teeth and gums to create a mouthguard unique to you. The fitting cradle helps position it correctly.
What comes with the gum shield?
Each gum shield comes with a case, instructions for use and a fitting cradle. The anti-microbial case protects the mouthguard against up to 99.99% of bacteria growth, and the mouthguard itself also has anti-microbial protection as standard in all Platinum level mouthguards.
Can I wear the Platinum Mouthguard with fixed braces?
No. You cannot wear the Platinum if you wear fixed braces. OPRO Gold Braces Mouthguard is available for brace wearers. If you have a brace or other device fitted to your teeth, consult your dental surgeon or orthodontist and never wear a gum shield with a brace unless approved by the person fitting the brace.
What care and safety points should I follow?
Clean it with cold water after use, do not use mouthwashes, toothpaste or other detergents, and store it dry in its box. Do not chew it, share it, use it if worn, cracked or split, or expose it to extreme heat or direct sunlight.
