* IMPORTANT: YOU SHOULD NEVER WORKOUT WITHOUT A GUARD!
A mouthguard is perhaps the most important and necessary piece of protective equipment in martial arts because an injury to the jaw or teeth can happen very easily. Such an injury can result in easily knocked out teeth or in a lot of pain, leaving you with high dentistry costs. However, such injuries can be avoided very simply, easily, and inexpensively by wearing a mouthguard.
* SHAPE & MATERIAL - The QUANTUM MX1 mouthguard is made of a very flexible material and the shape is very spacious, which allows enough material for precise fitting of every smallest angle of the teeth. It has an ergonomic shape that very precisely reflects the anatomy of the jaw and can therefore be perfectly molded to the teeth. The central tooth groove is extra narrow in the front area for, which exactly reflects the shape of the thin front and sharp incisors. At the back, in the area of the molars, it is significantly wider, which corresponds to our jaw anatomy. The base between the upper and lower jaw is also extra thick. This means that when fitting, if you bite firmly into the mouthguard, there is still enough material for the teeth of the upper and lower jaw to clearly "bite" into the mouthguard. A deep imprint is necessary so that the teeth sit stably in the mouthguard and the halves of the jaw do not slip sideways when hit. The lateral slipping of the lower jaw is often the reason for dangerous injuries to the muscles and ligaments of the teeth. The shape of this mouthguard is thick enough on the outside that you can press part of the flexible material when fitting the mouthguard (with your fingers) onto the upper jaw and upwards even over the gums and downwards onto the teeth of the lower jaw to get more protection. The more area covered by the mouthguard, the less you feel the power of a punch once it lands. The flexible material is also thick enough on the inside to be able to press it firmly against the teeth and sometimes even against the gums when fitting. Pressing the material so precisely against the jaw is very important because this is the only way for the mouthguard to fit well and not fall out when the mouth is opened. The more contact surface the mouthguard has with the teeth, gums and sometimes even the palate and the closer and more precisely it fits, the safer it is.
* FITTING A MOUTHGUARD - A newly purchased mouthguard has only a roughly pre-formed and pre-bent shape with an outline for the teeth of the upper jaw. It is not yet finished and ready for use. Almost every mouthguard must first be warmed up in very warm water and made adaptable. By warming it up in hot water, the mouthguard becomes soft and flexible and can be individually fitted to each jaw and adjusted to the shape of your own teeth by pressing with your fingers. Although almost every mouthguard has precise instructions on how to adjust it, it usually takes several attempts before you can adjust a mouthguard reasonably well. It is therefore advisable for anyone who has never done this before to first find out from reliable sources and videos how to fit a mouthguard, which important steps to take and which potential mistakes to avoid. Luckily, a mouthguard can usually be adjusted a number of times before it either fits well or is so deformed that it is no longer usable. However, advice from a trusted dealer or an experienced fighter or trainer (who has a lot of experience fitting mouthguards) is the best way to avoid making often simple mistakes.
* ADJUSTING THE QUANTUM MX1 MOUTHGUARD - The Quantum MX1 Mouthguard, like any other mouthguard, must first be fitted to your teeth before it can be worn. You should proceed as follows and follow these steps:
1. It is best to bring the water to a boil in a kettle and then pour it into a small container that the mouthguard fits in (e.g. a bowl). Then you should wait about 3-5 minutes until the water temperature drops to about 80-90°. Then you should put the mouthguard in the hot water for about 60-90 seconds.
Note: If the mouthguard bent and deformed significantly in the hot water, then it was in the water too long or the water was too hot. The mouthguard then becomes more difficult to adjust because it becomes too flexible and too unstable. However, if after removing it from the hot water it is so hard that it cannot be adjusted to the denture with pressure, then it was in the hot water too briefly or the water was too cold.
2. While the mouthguard is in the hot water, you could rinse your mouth with warm to hot water to prepare your teeth for the heat of the mouthguard. The teeth are very sensitive to heat and without this procedure, the approx. 80-90° high mouthguard temperature when fitting can be felt as a painful and uncomfortable temperature shock for the teeth. You also have to keep in mind that the temperature of the mouthguards is often so high that you often have to accept slight burns to your gums.
Note: Many manufacturers' instructions for fitting mouthguards state that you should cool the mouthguard under cold water immediately after removing it from the hot water so as not to burn your gums. Although this notice relieves the manufacturers of responsibility and they cannot be accused of burning their mouths, the mouthguard very often becomes too cold and too hard and cannot be easily pressed and adapted to the teeth. As a result, the protection and grip are significantly worse.
3. Immediately after removing the mouthguard from the hot water, you should put it on the upper jaw and bite down lightly so that the teeth of the upper and lower jaw are pressed into the material. Then you should suck up the remaining water from the mouthguard and try to press and shape the mouthguard tightly against the teeth with your fingers from the outside plus your thumb and tongue from the inside. The MX1 mouthguard is perfectly adaptable, not only because it has an optimal shape but also because it is quite thick and bulky. This allows you to press the mouthguard down with your fingers from the outside when fitting, so that part of the material also protects the teeth of the lower jaw well. There is also enough material on the inside so that the mouthguard can be pressed a little higher on the gums and even on the palate. The more contact surface the mouthguard has, the better the hold and protection.
4. Immediately after fitting, the mouthguard should be placed in a container of cold water and allowed to cool for a few minutes. After that it is ready for use.
5. If the mouthguard does not fit well after this procedure, you can usually repeat points 1 - 4 one or two more times before the mouthguard is too deformed to guarantee good protection.
* CARE - The mouthguard should be washed under running water after each training session and set aside to dry. After drying, it should always be stored in a designated box. It should never be exposed to direct sunlight because the sun could deform the mouthguard and damage the material. You should clean your mouthguard with a toothbrush and some toothpaste about every 10 training sessions. After about 100 training sessions you should throw away the mouthguard and buy a new one. The reason for this is that after so many uses, the mouth guard is usually a bit deformed and/or bitten through. If the mouthguard is dirty, the it implies that bacteria have collected on the mouthguard. Therefore, it is always safer and healthier to change your mouthguard more often.
