Class I Mouthguard

• The Class I mouthguard helps to correct malfunctions of the tongue such as anterior lingual impulse (sucking the tongue) and swallowing.
• The bilateral blocks are used to place the tongue in a high position.
• The vestibular shield changes breathing through the mouth into breathing through the nose.
• The "lip bumper" extensions neutralise the muscle contractions from the lip-chin region and encourage the jaw to grow.
• The mandibular arcade is surrounded all round the perimeter by the maxillary arcade to encourage contact between the lateral sectors.
• The mandible remains positioned in Class I.

• The Class I mouthguard is placed in the mouth, with the 2 lateral blocks at the bottom under the tongue. The tongue then positions itself naturally at the top.
• The mouthguard must be worn very regularly at home for 2 hours a day and all night.
• During the day, gently clench the teeth in the mouthguard, then release. Repeat this exercise regularly in sequences of 10 to 15 times.
• The mouthguard should be cleaned in cold water with a toothbrush and toothpaste, before and after use. The recommendation is to place it for 1 hour a week in mouthwash.
• Never boil the mouthguard.
• It's normal for the mouthguard to fall out during the night in the first instance. YOU MUST PERSEVERE
