Mouthguards

You finally ordered your Reviv Mouthguard in the UK, and it just landed on your doorstep.

Now what?

This guide is your no-fluff walkthrough of:

  • What’s inside the box
  • What your first night will feel like
  • How to make small adjustments
  • What to expect by the end of your first week

Whether you bought Reviv One or Reviv Two, this is the reality-based UK user guide I wish I had when I first ordered mine.

What’s in the Box (UK Edition)

When my Reviv order arrived in London, here’s exactly what I found:

  • ✅ 1 x Reviv Mouthguard (sealed, upper-arch design)
  • ✅ Vented travel-safe case
  • ✅ Instruction card with fitting steps
  • ✅ Link to support (if you chose “With Support”)
  • ✅ Optional add-on: RePod Cleaning Unit

It was delivered by Royal Mail—tracked and on time in 6 days from dispatch.

First Fit: My Setup Before Bed

Here’s how I approached the initial fit in under 10 minutes:

  1. Boiled a kettle and let water cool ~1 minute
  2. Submerged the Reviv in hot water for 45 seconds
  3. Placed it on my upper teeth, bit down lightly
  4. Molded edges with my fingers for full contact
  5. Held position for 1 minute
  6. Cooled in cold water to lock the shape

No dentist. No appointment. Just me and a timer.

First Night: What I Actually Felt

Initial wear: Slight pressure, not painful
 During sleep: Took ~20 mins to fall asleep (normal for me)
 Wake-up:

  • No new jaw pain
  • Less urge to clench
  • No sore gums or edges

Was it life-changing overnight? No.

Did I feel slightly more aligned? Yes.

If you expect miracles in 1 night, you’ll be disappointed.

If you expect compounding results, you’ll be thrilled by Day 5.

Day 2–3: Small Adjustments for a Big Difference

After two nights, I made these small tweaks:

  • Refit in hot water to seal better at molars
  • Trimmed 1mm from back corners with scissors
  • Practised tongue-on-palate posture during the day

By Day 3, it felt like a natural part of my routine.

Day 4–5: Signs It’s Working

Here’s what I started noticing:

  • ☑️ Reduced tension on waking
  • ☑️ Less mid-day jaw “tightness” while working
  • ☑️ No more temple-throbbing headaches
  • ☑️ Improved sleep continuity (even if I woke once)

The device wasn’t “doing the work” alone—it helped train my nervous system to stop clenching.

Day 6–7: Wake-Up Feels Different

You wake up and forget you wore a guard.

That’s when I realised:

  • My jaw didn’t feel locked
  • My tongue wasn’t stuck to the roof of my mouth from tension
  • My neck felt looser

That’s the Reviv effect kicking in.

How I Track Progress (UK-Style Simplicity)

Every morning, I rated:

  • Jaw tension (0–10)
  • Headache level (0–10)
  • Sleep quality (light, moderate, deep)

Over a week, all three improved.

I also noticed better posture and less teeth grinding.

Comfort Hacks for UK Buyers

  • Water too hot? Use a thermometer. Aim for 70–80°C
  • Too tight? Reheat and refit, don’t force it
  • Rubs on gums? Trim edges with precision scissors
  • Feels bulky? It shouldn’t. Refitting solves 90% of that
