Frequently Asked Questions
Does the KYRO PRO™ come with a storage case?
KYRO PRO™ mouthguards are supplied with light, durable cases to help keep them safe and clean when they’re not in use.
How should I clean and store my KYRO PRO™ mouthguard?
There are a few simple things you can do to keep your KYRO PRO™ clean:
- Brush your teeth before you wear it to remove bacteria from your mouth. You should brush your teeth again after taking your KYRO PRO™ out as well.
- Rinse your KYRO PRO™with cool to lukewarm water after each use.
If you’re exposing your KYRO PRO™ to water, take care and ensure the water is only room temperature. If the water is too hot, that can cause your mouthguard to become distorted and no longer fit you properly
Make sure your KYRO PRO™ is completely dry before storing it in a clean case, which ideally will have holes or vents that allow the mouthguard inside to breathe.
How do I find my size?
The KYRO PRO™ is available in two sizes:
- Junior for age 10 and under.
- Senior for age 11 and over.
Ultimately finding the right size mouthguard is a highly personal process influenced by the size of your mouth, its shape, and your own individual preferences.
Do Makura mouthguards contain any harmful materials?
No, our mouthguards do not contain any harmful materials. As part of the CE approval process, our mouthguard products undergo innocuous and chemical testing to ensure the materials they contain won’t hurt or negatively affect our users.
The specific standards that apply to mouthguards are:
- BS EN 1186: 2002, required for any plastics that come into contact with foodstuffs. This test is done to confirm that chemicals won’t transfer from the plastic into users’ bodies in toxic quantities.
- BS EN 71-3: 2013measures the amount of certain elements like copper, mercury, and zinc that are scraped off solid materials when bitten, licked, or sucked.
- PAH testingdetermines whether certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are present in a given material.
Though not required as part of the CE certification process, we can also confirm that our mouthguards contain neither Formamide nor Bisphenol A (BPA).
Do Makura mouthguards contain latex?
No, you can rest assured that all Makura mouthguards are latex free.
Do Makura mouthguards contain BPA?
No, Makura mouthguards (including the KYRO PRO™) have been tested to confirm that they do not contain Bisphenol A (otherwise known as BPA).
Do Makura mouthguards contain Formamide?
No, Makura mouthguards (including the KYRO PRO™) have been tested to confirm that they do not contain Formamide.
Do Makura mouthguards contain Phthalate (DEHP)?
No, Makura mouthguards are Phthalate (DEHP) free.
Do Makura mouthguards work with braces?
Wearing braces doesn’t mean you can or should stop using a mouthguard whilst playing sports. If anything, it becomes more important to choose a braces-compatible mouthguard that will not only protect your teeth and mouth from soft-tissue injuries, but also safeguard the braces themselves. Without the protection of a mouthguard, a blow to the face can damage brackets, wires, and other fixed orthodontic appliances, resulting in costly dental bills for treatments.
The LITHOS™ is our ready-made mouthguard created specifically to be worn with braces. It features the ORTHO CHANNEL™, which fits carefully and securely over your braces to keep them protected and you comfortable.
I lost the instructions about how to mould my KYRO PRO™ mouthguard. Can you remind me?
Downloadable fitting instructions (PDF) for KYRO PRO™ mouthguards are available on our website in five languages: English and Français.
With the KYRO PRO™ being a BOIL & BITE™ style, it’s crucial you follow the specific instructions for it. The principles are the same for all BOIL & BITE™ mouthguards (they need to be boiled, shaped, and cooled), but the details (how long you need to immerse them in hot water, for example) vary. To ensure the best fit, you must fit your KYRO PRO™ mouthguard properly and as instructed.

How long do KYRO PRO™ mouthguards last?
Depending on factors like how intensively it’s used and how well it’s cared for, your KYRO PRO™ mouthguard can last anywhere from a few months to a couple of years. In the majority of cases, though, we’d recommend replacing your mouthguard at least once per year. This will maximize both its effectiveness and hygiene.
Can I remould my KYRO PRO™ mouthguard?
Yes, you can reshape your KYRO PRO™, though the number of times will vary due to factors including its type, its age, and how intensively it’s used.
Simply follow the fitting instructions for the KYRO PRO™ mouthguard. If you find that it no longer conforms properly or comfortably to your mouth, it might be time to purchase a new one.
Do mouthguards prevent concussions?
No, mouthguards do not prevent concussions or other types of mild traumatic brain injuries (MTBIs). Past studies have attempted to prove a link, but the evidence has never been strong enough to demonstrate a conclusive one.
What mouthguards do excel at is reducing the impact of dental and orofacial traumas like broken, chipped, dislodged, or impacted teeth as well as contusions, abrasions, and lacerations.
