Let’s get one thing straight—your mouthguard isn’t just a sleep tool.

It’s a structural reset device. A cranial decompressor. A posture unlocker.

And if you treat it like a cheap drugstore guard—shoved in a backpack, soaking in spit, warped in a hot car—it will lose its power before it has a chance to change your body.

This guide shows you exactly how to travel with and store your Reviv guard the right way—so it stays clean, safe, odor-free, and effective for months.

1. Why Travel and Storage Actually Matter for Your Results

Most people damage their guard not by using it—but by how they store it:

• Warping in heat
  
• Growing bacteria in airtight cases
  
• Losing suction from pressure
  

Good storage = consistent decompression = better outcomes.

2. The 3 Travel Threats to Your Reviv

Here’s what will destroy your guard while traveling:

• Heat (cars, planes, sun)
  
• Moisture (sealing while wet)
  
• Pressure (crushing in bags)
  

If you fix these, you’re 90% there.

3. The Right Case: What to Use (and What to Avoid)

Use:

• Ventilated hard plastic case
  
• With drain holes or mesh side vents
  
• Compact enough to avoid squishing
  

Avoid:

• Ziplock bags
  
• Tissues (disgusting and bacteria-prone)
  
• Bulky cases that won’t breathe
  

4. My Daily Reviv Travel Setup

What I pack:

• Reviv guard
  
• Ventilated case
  
• Small microfiber towel
  
• Mini bottle of mouthwash or hydrogen peroxide
  
• Zip pouch for hygiene tools
  

Everything fits in my dopp kit.

5. Plane Travel: Should You Wear It on Flights?

Yes.

Why:

• Cabin pressure = jaw tension
  
• Poor posture = cranial collapse
  
• Sleep = mouth breathing
  

Pop it in for takeoff, rest, or long-haul snoozes.

6. What NOT to Do on Flights

• Don’t wear it during food or drink
  
• Don’t store it in your pocket
  
• Don’t wrap it in tissue—it’ll get tossed out by mistake
  

Treat it like a mini medical device.

7. Hotel Hygiene Hacks

Clean it at night using:

• Warm tap water
  
• Your finger or toothbrush
  
• Optional: soak in a glass with mouthwash (5–10 min)
  

Lay it out to dry—on a towel or open shelf.

8. Avoid Heat at All Costs

Heat destroys the form.

Avoid:

• Dashboards
  
• Window ledges
  
• Hot suitcases in trunks
  
• Sauna bathrooms
  

Reviv One is especially sensitive. Reviv Two holds shape better—but don’t push it.

9. Moisture = Mold

Big mistake:

• Cleaning your guard
  
• Tossing it wet into a sealed case
  
• Forgetting it for 12 hours
  

Dry it before sealing.
 Or leave it out until morning.

10. Air Drying: Best Practice

After use:

1. Rinse with warm water
   
2. Shake off excess
   
3. Air dry on towel or paper towel
   
4. Then store in ventilated case
   

Skip this, and you’ll smell it in a week.

11. Odor Prevention 101

To keep it fresh:

• Rinse nightly
  
• Soak weekly in mouthwash or peroxide
  
• Store dry and ventilated
  
• Clean case often
  

You shouldn’t smell your guard. Ever.

12. Can You Travel With It Wet?

Only if it’s short-term (under 1 hour).
Otherwise:

• Use absorbent cloth in case
  
• Reopen and dry at earliest stop
  

Odor forms when bacteria + heat + moisture combine.

13. Backup Guard? Yes or No?

Frequent travelers should consider:

• Reviv One as backup (cheap, easy to fit)
  
• Keep one in luggage, one in carry-on
  

If you lose one, your posture shouldn’t pay the price.

14. Storage at Home: Where to Keep It

Keep it:

• Near your bed
  
• On a clean shelf or tray
  
• In a case with airflow
  

Don’t:

• Store it in your bathroom drawer (humidity)
  
• Toss it with toiletries
  
• Let pets near it (yes, they chew them)
  

15. Long-Term Storage (Taking a Break?)

Do this:

• Deep clean
  
• Dry thoroughly
  
• Place in hard, ventilated case
  
• Store in cool, dry place (like a cabinet)
  

Check before re-use.

16. Traveling to Hot Climates? Adjust Accordingly

If temps are above 35°C / 95°F:

• Never leave in car or suitcase near heat
  
• Wrap in small towel inside hard case
  
• Consider refitting upon arrival if needed

17. The 3 Worst Places to Store It

1. Wet bathroom pouch
   
2. Glove box
   
3. Plastic wrap or baggie
   

These = bacteria, deformation, and stink.

18. Guard Feels Funky? Try This Reset

1. Soak in 50/50 water + peroxide for 20 min
   
2. Rinse
   
3. Let dry in open air
   
4. Reassess fit
   

Still warped? Time to replace.

19. How Long Should One Guard Last With Good Care?

• Reviv One = 6–9 months
  
• Reviv Two = 9–12 months
  
• Heavy users or poor storage = shorter lifespan
  

Clean it. Dry it. Protect it.

20. Travel Light, Store Smart, Guard Always

Here’s your motto:

If your jaw travels with you, so should your Reviv.

You don’t leave home without your phone.
 Why leave your alignment behind?
