- Over 5,000,000 teeth are lost annually in sports-related injuries. This video shows you how to make a custom thermoplastic vacuum-formed sports mouthguard that can help your patient and save their teeth. In the video, we use the Pro-Form material, but the video was not sponsored or supported by the manufacturer.
Pro-form does not contain latex, BPA, gluten, or monomer. See:

I want to say thank you fot this video!
With the help of this video, I was able to make my own guard. My 1st pair (a thinner and a thicker one) was 50€ in 2013. Now I should pay 400€. I have made my 1st guard already. Now cost ~2€/pc.
So glad I could help you
Thank you for this very informative video! Could you make a Demonstration of how you do dental impressions ?
many thanks!
Thank you!
thank you for the very helpful video

Thanks a lot
Doesn't heating the scalpel wreck the blade.We use a device similar to an electric hand held soldering iron.
Does anybody know can I use the same type of material for dentq laboratory dental vacuum forming molding 110v machine it’s same function machine. But I noticed retainers and mouth guards are a bit of different material. Please if anybody has answer I’d appreciate it.
What material and size do you use?
What’s the tickness of the material
Who do this in Thailand ?
Thank you
What is the purpose of putting 45 degree bevel around the border?
It is more comfortable to the patient instead of a sharp ledge
I did this and now the heel of the occlusal guard touches early when biting down. I cannot bite down all the way. I want to make it again, How do I prevent this from happening again?
Yes, that is because the jaw is a hinge. This is not meant to be a bite plane. However, if you flame the heel and ask the patient to bite into the warmed, not super hot plastic, then they will achieve an even occlusion. The trick is not to make the plastic too hot, but hot enough so that the pt can bite into it.
if anyone can help i wold appreciate it....old boss gave me a huge vacuum for making some kinda molds for mouthgaurds for some dental company...my question is where the hell do i sell it? its heavy solid 2 or 3 inch think cast iron dont wanna scrap as i would only get like maybe 50$ and boss told me it was worth 1000$ at least which i think is unlikely but who knows...any help would be appreciated
So sorry, cannot help here.
what is the cellophane used for? what does this do?
Smoothing the material and improve the adaptation. It seems to work.
Where can i get all the machines
Yeah I would want to know too
what material is the mouth guard made from?
Usually EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate) Resin material for vacuum forming machines. Sports mouth guards should be 4mm/.15-.16" sheets.
I use Proform Mouthguard material. There are others: @t
I like this idea, but I don’t think no one can get their hands to getting the machine to make them
@@Rmathis80 i will try it with hair blower
Can you make a Sports Mouthguard with this device? Can you create a dual layer mouthguard? (if you can, is it the same like making the single layer mouthguard but you just add one more layer?)
Sorry, this is a sports mouthguard.
What if the customer has two front teeth missing ?
No problem. Just make it without the teeth.
I use Proform Mouthguard material. There are others: dental.keystoneindustries.com/product/pro-form-mouthguard-laminates/
which company sheets
dental.keystoneindustries.com/product/pro-form-mouthguard-laminates/
Pro-form
what if we have uneven teeth?
No problem at all, it is a custom mouthguard made on a model of your teeth so it fits even if your teeth are uneven.
I need to slam it down and then he slams it down.lol
I guess you have never seen how some slam it down!!
Thank you!
You are welcome
