Yeah, that's been my go-to as well. I've noticed cheaper brands tend to warp faster, though. Anyone tried boiling theirs to reshape it, or does that just ruin it completely...? Curious if that's a viable option.

Haha, I actually tried boiling mine onceβ€”keyword being "once." It was one of those late-night ideas that seemed brilliant at the time. Spoiler alert: it didn't end well. The poor thing ended up looking like a melted gummy bear, and my kid thought it was hilarious. 😂 But who knows, maybe I just overdid it?

On a more serious note, I've noticed ours last about six months to a year before they start looking pretty rough. My kiddo tends to chew on theirs a bit, so we go through them faster than I'd like. Does anyone else's kid chew theirs up, or is mine just extra dedicated to destruction...?

Haha, your melted gummy bear story made me laugh... we've all had those late-night "genius" moments. Honestly, chewing's pretty commonβ€”kids just seem to love destroying mouthguards. You're doing great replacing them regularly though, that's key for keeping teeth safe.
