How hot does the water need to be when moulding a new gum shield?
Answers:
Have it close to boiling but not quite. Get from kettle and leave in cup for 1 minute then do it. If boiling will warp shield
boiled from a kettle, then pour in a cup or a bowl, then place the gum shield in it for 30 secs, take it out, put it in ur mouth, fix it into shape.
Not boiling but hotter than out of a tap. ie boil the water, let it rest for a few minutes then pour over the gum shield & do rest as it states on the packet.
Hot enough to soften the mould but not so hot it scolds your mouth when you put it in. ;o)
Seriously though weren't there instructions with your shield when you bought it?
Get a pot of gatorade to a near boil, drop your gumshield in for 30sec, take out out, let it cool slightly then fit it. If you use gatorade it'll retain taste!
Boiling water from the kettle.
