Mouthguard VIRTUO 3DY Blue & White From 12 Years To Adults - Gilbert

A mouthguard is an essential accessory for a rugby player. It protects the player from being hit on the upper arch. Mouthguards are now mandatory for rugby. In order to practice your favourite sport in complete safety, choose this VIRTUO 3DY Mouthguard Blue and White from 12 Years to Adult from the Gilbert brand.

The Gilbert brand is inextricably linked to rugby as the brand was born with rugby! William Gilbert (1799-1877), who gave his name to a famous brand of rugby union equipment, is said to be the inventor of the rugby ball.
When, in 1823, William Webb Ellis, according to legend, took the ball in his hand and created rugby, it was probably a William Gilbert ball that he took. The ball is made of fresh pig bladders covered with a leather envelope made of four ovoid panels.

Data sheet:

The Gilbert 3D Mouthguard, is made of 3 different densities of foam: a soft inner layer that is very easy to mould, a harder middle layer that works as a shield and a final layer with protective zones for the most sensitive and vulnerable areas.
The mouthguard used in rugby is worn only on the upper teeth. It is designed to protect against hits to the teeth and gums. It allows a reduction of vibrations in the jaw. All models are either thermoformable (thermo-mouldable), i.e. they have to be immersed in boiling water (about 30 seconds) in order to be perfectly adapted to your teeth, or they are custom-made. In general, most manufacturers offer two sizes: adult and junior.

How do I mould my mouthguard?
To mould your mouthguard easily, prepare two bowls, one with cold water and one with boiling water, as well as a glass of cold water and a tool to catch the mouthguard in the hot water. When the water has boiled, simply pour it into the empty bowl, place the mouthguard in it according to the time indicated in the instructions supplied with your mouthguard, then place it in the bowl of cold water for three seconds using your utensil and insert it into your mouth. Clench your teeth loosely to mould it as close to your teeth as possible and press it over your mouth so that it fits snugly against your gums. Drink the glass of cold water, while sucking on the mouthguard so that it cools completely as it takes the shape of your teeth. If it is not perfectly moulded, repeat the operation once.

How do I maintain my mouthguard?
To preserve your rugby mouthguard and enjoy its quality for a long time, it is important to take care of it. We recommend that you rinse it with clean water after each use and regularly clean it thoroughly with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Remember to store it in its case between training sessions or matches.
