What will you need:

  • Bowl
  • Hot water, but not boiling (71 º C)
  • Fork or similar utensil
  • Mirror

Instructions:

1. Wash your hands and material with soap and water.

2. Heat water in a small bowl at approximately 160 ° F / 71 ° C (hot touch, but not boiling).

3. Place your oral Sisu in hot water and wait until it becomes soft and flexible (uses a fork or other utensil to determine the softness of the buccal protector).

4. Once soft, carefully raise the SISU protector out of the water with the fork. It is very important that you do not let the softened protection be folded up on itself. The material will stick with each other, which will make it difficult for remodeling.

5. Balances the flexible oral protector with the thumbs, tilts the head back and opens its mouth widely. Using a mirror, inserts the oral protector and bites gently on the solid bar in the middle of the SISU oral protector, enough to keep the protector in place.

6. Press your tongue towards the palate of your mouth while you move the softened material towards your front teeth. Then, starting at the back of the mouth, use the fingertips to shape the material against the teeth moving from behind forward, covering the outside of the teeth to create a solid shield.

7. Once the material is fully molded, close your lips on the oral protector and spire air gently until the material has hardened to a perfect fit.
