Q. What
is the difference between Signature’s Type 1, 2 & 3 mouthguards
and other "boil & bite" mouthguards?
A. Although Signature’s
Type 1, 2 & 3 are "boil & bite" mouthguards that
is where the comparison starts and finishes. Signature’s off the
shelf mouthguards incorporate many of the safety features from the
Signature Professional types into patented technology that ordinary
"boil & bite" mouthguards don’t have. Also, the Type
3 mouthguard's ProPlusGel technology makes this mouthguard close to
a professionally prescribed and fitted mouthguard, but at an affordable
cost.

Q. I wear braces,
which type should I wear?
A. The Type 1
is specifically designed to be worn with orthodontic bands. While
it incorporates many of the features found in the Type 2 & 3
mouthguards, its specific purpose is to offer the best possible protection
at an affordable cost, as the mouthguard should be replaced each
time the orthodontic bands are adjusted.

Type 3 mouthguard with orthodontic braces?
A. Definitely NOT!
The Type 3 mouthguard incorporates ProPlusGel technology that moulds around
the teeth during the fitting process. The Type 1 mouthguard is specifically designed to be worn
with orthodontic bands.
