Fitting Your Reviv Mouth Guard: Step-by-Step Guide for a Perfect Fit

Introduction: Your Best Sleep Starts with the Perfect Fit

Getting a Reviv Mouth Guard isn’t just about putting something in your mouth and hoping for the best.

It’s about getting a custom fit that:

  • Feels great
  • Stays in place all night
  • Decompresses your jaw
  • Relieves clenching and grinding
  • Supports healthy sleep and bite alignment

And the good news?
 You don’t need to visit a dentist to get it.

Just follow this step-by-step guide to make sure your Reviv Mouth Guard fits like a dream—because that’s exactly what it’s meant to give you.

🧪 What’s in the Kit

When your Reviv kit arrives, you’ll find:

  • 2 trays (upper or lower, based on your order)
  • 2 sets of putty (base + catalyst)
  • Prepaid return mailer
  • Step-by-step instructions
  • QR code for video tutorial
  • Fit form (be sure to complete and return it with your mold)

You’ll also need:

  • A mirror
  • A timer or phone clock
  • Clean hands
  • A calm 15 minutes with no distractions

✅ Step-by-Step: How to Take a Perfect Impression

Step 1: Mix the Putty

  • Open one base and one catalyst putty.
  • Mix together quickly with your fingers until the color is fully uniform (usually 30–40 seconds).
  • Roll it into a log and place it into the tray evenly.

⚠️ Once mixed, you have ~1 minute to place it in your mouth before it starts setting.

Step 2: Center and Insert

  • In front of a mirror, carefully insert the tray into your mouth (upper or lower arch as directed).
  • Center it evenly — don’t push it all the way to one side.

Step 3: Bite and Press

  • Bite down firmly but not forcefully into the center of the putty.
  • Press your lips around the tray and hold it in place.

You should feel the putty spread gently across your teeth and into your gumline for full coverage.

Step 4: Hold and Breathe

  • Hold in place for 3 minutes total.
  • Breathe through your nose. Don’t talk or clench.

This is where your perfect jaw posture gets captured.

Step 5: Gently Remove

  • After 3 minutes, wiggle the tray gently side to side and pull it out carefully.
  • Don’t twist or bend.

Check the impression:

✅ Clear bite marks?
 ✅ All teeth captured?
 ✅ No large voids or drag lines?

If yes — you’re good to go!
 If not — no worries. Use the second set of putty and try again.

📬 Step 6: Mail It Back

  • Place the finished tray (with fit form) in the protective bag.
  • Use the prepaid return mailer to send it back to the Reviv lab.
  • You’ll receive a confirmation email when it’s received.

From there, your custom Reviv Mouth Guard will be crafted, checked, and shipped back in ~5–7 business days.

🧼 Bonus: First Night Fit Tips

When your guard arrives:

  • Rinse it with lukewarm water
  • Wear it for 15–30 minutes before bed to acclimate
  • Expect a small adjustment period (1–3 nights)

Most users say by night 3, they forget they’re even wearing it.

❓ Common Questions

Q: What if I messed up both sets of putty?
 A: Reach out to support — we’ll send another kit. Free remake guarantee.

Q: Do I need to bite super hard?
 A: No — just a firm, even bite is enough.

Q: Should I take the impression of my upper or lower teeth?
 A: You’ll choose at checkout. Most people prefer upper, but if you have dental work or ortho on top, lower may be better.

Q: Can I take the impression if I have crowns or fillings?
 A: Yes — just be gentle on removal, and let us know in your fit form.

🧠 Why Fit Matters So Much

A perfect impression leads to:

  • A secure, no-slip fit
  • Even bite pressure across molars
  • Jaw decompression to relieve TMJ pain
  • Less clenching intensity
  • A guard that actually supports your sleep, not disrupts it

Without the right fit, no mouth guard—no matter the brand—will solve your problem.

Your Reviv Mouth Guard isn’t just a product.
 It’s a solution — designed to help your jaw relax, your body heal, and your mind rest.
