FAQs
Find answers to the most common questions about Spot Pal.
What can Sport Pal help with?
Sport Pal helps optimize breathing patterns and enhance athletic performance through proper tongue posture and nasal breathing. It works to maximize oxygen intake, improve endurance, and speed up recovery during training and competition. Through its patented design and comprehensive breath training program, Sport Pal provides lasting improvement in breathing habits while allowing clear speech and hydration during use. Unlike temporary solutions like mouth taping, it creates sustainable change that enhances both athletic performance and overall mobility, as proper tongue position affects the body's entire fascial system.
Is Sport Pal for children or adults?
Both! Sport Pal is designed for adults and children ages 10 and up. Each device is custom-fitted using digital 3D scans or impressions, making it perfect for young athletes and students, adults who train regularly, collegiate and professional athletes, and recreational sports enthusiasts.
Why should I choose a Sport Pal Guard over other mouthguards?
Here's why! Sport Pal is more than just a protective guard - it's a performance enhancement tool with patented technology that actively improves your breathing patterns and tongue posture. Unlike basic boil-and-bite guards, each Sport Pal is fully customized using digital 3D scans or impressions. You can drink and speak clearly while wearing it, and it comes with a complete breath training program for lasting results. Plus, it's available in different thicknesses (up to 4mm) to suit both contact and non-contact sports.
Why is there a hole in my Sport Pal?
That's the patented Spot Dot! This unique feature is designed to guide your tongue into the correct position, helping retrain your breathing patterns for better performance. It's placed in a precise spot that creates a natural target for proper tongue posture.

Can Sport Pal be used if the user has braces?
Yes! The Sport Pal can be used with Braces. It is best to have a 3D scan sent to us for the best fit.
What thickness is the Sport Pal Guard?
The Sport Pal is 3mm thick which we find is the best for comfort and protection.
How long do the mouthguards normally last?
With proper care and no changes in your teeth, the materials used to create your mouthguard are designed to be long-lasting. Regular cleaning will extend the lifespan of your mouthguard. It is advised to not chew on the guard. It is best to replace your mouthguard yearly, as bacteria can accumulate if it’s not cleaned regularly.
