Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the USL Youth Clear and the GelMax mouthguard?

A: The Youth Clear is a standard boil-and-bite mouthguard providing solid dental and concussion protection at a very competitive price. The GelMax uses an enhanced gel formulation for improved cushioning and fit, providing an additional level of impact absorption. For recreational sport, the Youth Clear is excellent value. For higher-level competition, the GelMax upgrade is worth considering.

Q: Is the clear mouthguard mandatory in school sport?

A: Many NZ schools and sporting codes require mouthguard use in contact sports including rugby and hockey. Check your child's school and sporting club requirements for specific colour or type rules — some codes specify that mouthguards must be a colour other than clear for referee visibility. The USL Sport range includes coloured options if required.

Q: How do I clean a sports mouthguard?

A: Rinse the mouthguard with cold water after each use — never hot water as this can distort the shape. Store in a ventilated mouthguard case. Weekly, soak in a mouthguard cleaning solution or diluted dental mouthwash. Inspect regularly for wear and replace when the material becomes thin or damaged.

Q: My child has braces — can they use this mouthguard?

A: Standard boil-and-bite mouthguards are not ideal for children with braces as the fitting process can damage brackets and wires. A custom-made orthodontic mouthguard from a dentist is recommended for children undergoing orthodontic treatment. Ask our pharmacist for advice on mouthguard options for children with braces.
