Step 1: Prep

Protect your smile while you sleep the Doctor's Nightguard - these 3 easy steps usually takes just 8 minutes!

Fill your microwave safe mug halfway with water

Step 2: Heat

Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Let the water stand for 30 seconds and then remove the mug. Place your nightguard facedown in the water for 2 minutes. Remove your nightguard from the water with a fork so you don't burn yourself. Place on a plate sticky-side up and allow it to cool for 10 seconds.

Step 3: Fit

Pick up your nightguard by gently grasping the bottom. Don't touch the top sticky part. Using your mirror place your nightguard in your mouth onto the upper teeth. Putting the tips of your front teeth as close as possible to the front of the nightguard, so it doesn't slide. Now bite down. Use your thumbs to gently push the soft material on the outside of your teeth. Open your mouth fully and use your thumbs to press the molds against the insides of your teeth, avoiding your gums. Bite down again and count to 30. You will know it's time to remove your nightguard if it stays in place when you open your jaw. To take your nightguard out, open your mouth fully, and use your thumbs to gently remove it from your mouth. If it doesn't fit properly refer to your instruction manual for the reheating process and start at step 3.
