How Long Does Reviv Last? Care Tips, Lifespan, and Remolding

So you’ve got your Reviv Mouthguard, or you’re thinking about ordering one—and you’re asking:

“How long will this actually last?”

Great question. Because unlike cheap Amazon guards or stiff $900 dental splints, Reviv is made to evolve with your bite, not just sit in your drawer after 3 weeks.

Let’s break down exactly how long Reviv lasts, how to take care of it, when to remold it, and how to make the most of every wear.

1. What’s the Average Lifespan of a Reviv Mouthguard?

Most Reviv mouthguards last 6–12 months with daily use.

That’s on par with high-end dental splints—but with a fraction of the cost and way more flexibility.

Lifespan depends on:

• Clenching intensity (light clenchers can go 9–12 months)
  
  
• Daily vs nightly use
  
  
• How well you clean and store it
  
  
• Whether you remold regularly
  

 

2. Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Reviv

You don’t need a stopwatch—just watch for these:

✅ It feels looser than usual
✅ The material looks visibly worn down
✅ You notice more clenching or tension returning
✅ It no longer holds your jaw in the rest position
✅ You’ve remolded it several times and it’s lost shape

3. How to Extend the Lifespan (Care Tips)

✔ Clean it every morning
Rinse with cool water and mild soap. Avoid boiling water or harsh chemicals.

✔ Let it dry completely
Store it in a clean, dry, ventilated case.

✔ Don’t bite or chew it during the day
Use it passively—not like gum.

✔ Keep it away from heat
 Don’t leave it in hot cars or direct sunlight. That can warp the material.

4. Can You Remold Reviv? (Yes—and You Should)

Reviv is fully remoldable—and we actually encourage it.

Your bite will change as:

• Tension decreases
  
  
• Posture improves
  
  
• Muscles relax
  
  
• Alignment corrects
  

Remolding helps you stay in sync with your evolving jaw position.

5. How Many Times Can You Remold It?

Reviv can be safely remolded 3–5 times (and more in many cases) without losing shape or effectiveness.

Just follow the proper remolding steps:

• Heat in water (~170°F / 76°C)
  
  
• Mold to aesthetic rest position (no hard biting!)
  
  
• Cool and set
  

6. Should I Have One for Day and One for Night?

Many users do.

Why?

• Daytime use (work stress, posture training) wears differently than nighttime grinding
  
  
• You’ll reduce wear and tear on each
  
  
• You can customize the fit slightly differently for each use case

7. How Does Reviv Compare to Other Guards in Longevity?

Reviv is the sweet spot: long-lasting, flexible, and affordable enough to replace when needed.

8. Should You Replace Reviv After Each Remold?

Not unless the fit starts to degrade or it becomes less effective.

Think of remolding as retuning your bite instrument—not starting from scratch.

If your symptoms return or the feel becomes too soft or warped, it’s time for a fresh one.

9. Can You Travel With Reviv?

Absolutely.

Just:

• Keep it in the protective case
  
  
• Let it dry fully before packing
  
  
• Avoid leaving it in a hot car or next to heat sources
  

 

10. Is There a Way to “Test” If It’s Still Working?

Yes. Here's your quick checklist:

• Does it hold snugly in your mouth without clenching?
  
  
• Do you wake up with less jaw or neck tension?
  
  
• Are your headaches improving?
  
  
• Do you feel calmer during the day?
  
  
• Is your posture better?
  

If yes, Reviv is still doing its job.

Every 6–12 months, depending on wear and remolding frequency.

Q2: Can I use it longer than 12 months if it still feels good?

Q3: Will remolding affect durability?
No—as long as you follow the proper process, remolding won’t damage it.

If it warps or gets sticky, it may need to be replaced. Always let hot water cool slightly before submerging.

Conclusion: Built to Last. Designed to Evolve.
