How many time can I use this lip guard with my braces?

More than a few. I used mine about 5 days a week for 2 months until my mouth got somewhat used to the hardware to the point of not even needing the guard or wax though I still use it from time to time.

Here are the instructions as I remember. Insert wooden stick in middle of mouthguard. Bring pot of water to a boil. Once at a boil, turn it off and wait 20 seconds. Then submerge the entire mouthguard while holding the stick into the pot of water and wait EXACTLY 18 seconds before removing. Shake off excess water, insert the guard in your mouth while holding the stick, and bite down in a normal way for 1 minute. Do not do it too hard and bite thru. You can also push around your lips a bit with the guard in your mouth so it molds a little better. Remove from mouth and submerge the whole mouthpiece again while holding stick in a separate bowl/cup of cold water for 2 minutes. After that, you are done!

Hi!, You could send this question to the manufacturer. However, I would not recommend the use for anyone who has braces or any metallic parts inside/outside their upper body especially on the face or close to the face.

The directions for use are to place 20 drops under the tongue twice daily. Do not eat 10 minutes before or 15 minutes after using this product.

I was a first time user, so I used the upper/lower strips once a day, until I finished the pack. I intend to buy a pack every 1-2 years. (depends on how quickly your teeth discolour - ie. how much coffee, red wine etc affects your teeth)

I'd say between 50-100. You don't even use but a couple tiny drops each time per row and paint a super thin layer on the teeth then put on the guard. If you fill the tray or put too much on you're going to have a very bad time. It's thick gel and goes a very long ways. There's far more then any one person would need before it expires it a year.

My dental hygienist told me I could use it as much as I wished but shouldn't need to use it very often. Currently I probably use it monthly, definitely not daily or weekly. But I was never told about a any time restrictions.

There is only 1 set of mouthguards and you shape them to your mouth for a personal fit. So you will have to order 2 or reshape guards every time you use them.

Just that one time. You have to mix it with your fingers, quick, before it gets too hard. Mash it on, and it'll stay til you take it off. For the beginning braces pain I preferred this stuff. After six month silicone wax is best.

That's the 2+2=4 answer I put together. nIf the strips work by just stretching your tissue (& the guy on Shark Tank said your body thinks it has to fill in spaces) then the mouth guard should work. We found one for under $3 at Academy, & I'm just starting to use it. We'll see...

It's been at least six months since I last used this product. But, it seems to me that I got at least a week out of each tube. My dentist's office recommended only using a very small amount (the tip of a pencil) in each front tooth space of the retainer and mouth guard at each use. I reached the maximum amount of whitening quickly. The amount of whitening was determined by how white the existing crowns were. I bought the first four syringes and then bought a second set of 4, but only used one syringe before the dentist told me I had reached the right amount of whitening. The first set of four probably was enough.

According to the instructions you should get 8 applications per tube. I believe I get closer to 10-12, I am only on my 2nd box and I have been using this product for nearly 3 years. I have custom made trays and you use a very small amount in each tooth indentation. The consistency of this product is thin enough that it spreads completely over the tooth, but thick enough so it adheres well and does not run. If too much is used it spills out onto your gums & that can cause some sensitivity. Remember once your teeth reach the desired whiteness you only have to repeat the treatment for 2 consecutive days every 4-6 months.

If this is your first time using this strength, be careful if you have sensitive gums. If you do, it is recommended to smear some Vaseline over your gum lines, being careful to not get any on your teeth. With the 20% strength, it is recommended to leave the molds on for 4-6 hours, or overnight if you think your gums can handle that. They claim to be formulated so to not sensitize your gums but I do notice some tingling when I leave them on overnight. Hopefully you have dentist made or actual molds that fit close to perfect. Inject a BB sized drop in each area of the mold that would fit over your REAL TEETH, not over crowns as they won't bleach out. I usually drag the syringe from each tooth area and when I come to the crowned areas I just drag a little bit in those areas. I have all my wisdom teeth and end up using about a half of a syringe for both top and bottom molds. Also, do not use if you have inflamed gums. Use a mouthwash regularly until your gums are healthy prior to application. You can bleach once a day depending on how well you tolerate the gel. I usually bleach for three days in a one week period. Also, avoid coffee, wine and berries while you are bleaching. For some of us, coffee is a must, so use a whitening mouthwash and/or toothpaste after eating or drinking any of these culprits. Do not "over brush" your teeth and if you notice inflammation or sensitivity, STOP using until your gums feel and look healthy. Hope this helps and happy smiling. Oh, store the gels in your refrigerator for longer life and let them come to room temp before applying.

Yes it works with braces. It can feel a little big but it is a good protection mouth guard.
