4 Ways To Check Your SISU Mouthguard Fit

4 Ways To Check Your SISU Mouthguard Fit

So you’ve fitted your SISU, and you’re ready to hit the field…not quite. Once you’ve fitted your SISU Mouthguard it’s important to check to make sure that it’s fitted properly. A proper fitting guard is essential for the Diffusix Technology in the mouthguard to function properly.

Unlike conventional mouthguards, the SISU mouthguard has a unique and completely different design and cannot be fitted as simply as a boil and bite. This revolutionary design is what makes SISU different and can require you to look at it with new eyes. So for first time users, there can be a little bit of a learning curve.

1. Tongue Check

If your mouthguard is fitted properly you should not be able to remove it with your tongue. Since SISU is a custom fit mouthguard, it should fit snug on your teeth.

If you find that your SISU Mouthguard is too tight, put the entire guard back in the hot water and remold it using less suction. On the other hand, if your guard keeps falling out, try remolding it with more suction.


2. Alignment

When you fit your SISU mouthguards it’s crucial that your teeth are properly aligned with the non-perforated portion of the mouthguard. Use the bite pads as a guide, your teeth belong on them.


3. Covered Teeth

After you’ve molded your guard, it should cover the outer surfaces of your teeth and not the roof of your mouth. SISU acts as a shield and cannot not protect anything if it’s on the inside of your teeth.


4. Speech

With a properly fitted SISU, you should be able to speak almost completely naturally. If you have too much material on the inside or roof of your mouth, it can cause a very noticeable and uncomfortable lisp.  Try to say “SISU”. If it comes out with a heavy lisp, you should check your fit.

Remember to not trim SISU, this will void the warranty. Since SISU is so streamlined, every part is an important player when it comes to getting the most protection.

The SISU Mouthguard uses perforations to deflect force away from your teeth and into the scientifically designed crumple zones. This is why it’s super important that you aren’t biting or stretching the perforations.
