⚠CAUTION
NA
5) Cleaning and Care
Directions for Use
- Wash your hands before handling the nightguard.
- Place the nightguard over the upper or lower teeth as the dentist instructs.
- Bite down gently to ensure a comfortable fit.
- Remove the nightguard in the morning and rinse with warm water.
Cleaning instructions
- Dandy recommends cleaning your device daily before and after every use. Immediately after removal,
- Use warm water (not to exceed 45°C/113°F) and dishwashing soap to remove remaining saliva and debris from the device.
- Only use soft, antibacterial dish soap (liquid)
- Do not use flavored or scented soaps
- Do not use soaps with heavy dyes and colors
- Rinse the device thoroughly with cool water.
- Do not use hot water, as it can warp the device.
- Do not use mouthwash, as it can discolor the device.
- Clean the device daily.
USING CLEANING AGENTS
- For periodic debris removal and maintenance, use a soft bristle brush to clean the inside of your appliance for debris removal.
- The product should be cleaned with antibacterial cleaning solutions like Polident and Efferdent.
- These cleaners are designed for use in brief sessions of 10–15 minutes.
- Always make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use.
Do not use:

⚠AVERTISSEMENTS Les risques potentiels comprennent des douleurs buccodentaires, qui devraient disparaître après quelques jours d’utilisation.

- Retirer la gouttière la matin et la rincer à l’eau tiède.
Instructions de nettoyage
- Dandy recommande de nettoyer votre appareil tous les jours avant et après chaque utilisation. Immédiatement après le retrait.
- Utiliser de l’eau tiède (ne dépassant pas 45°C/113°F) et du liquide vaisselle pour éliminer les résidus de salive et les impuretés présents sur l’appareil.
- Utiliser uniquement du liquide vaisselle doux et antibactérien (liquide)
- Ne pas utiliser de savons parfumés ou parfumés.
- Ne pas utiliser de savons contenant des colorants ou des pigments trop concentrés.
- Rincer soigneusement le dispositif à l’eau froide.
- Ne pas utiliser d’eau chaude, car elle peut déformer l’appareil.
- Ne pas utiliser de bain de bouche, car il peut décolorer l’appareil.
- Nettoyer le dispositif quotidiennement.
UTILISATION D’AGENTS NETTOYANTS
- Pour l’entretien régulier et l’élimination des résidus, utiliser une brosse à poils souples pour nettoyer l’intérieur de votre appareil et éliminer les résidus.
- Le produit doit être nettoyé avec des solutions de nettoyage antibactériennes telles que Polident et Efferdent.
- Ces nettoyants sont conçus pour être utilisés pendant de brèves séances de 10 à 15 minutes.
- Veiller à toujours suivre les instructions du fabricant pour une utilisation correcte.
Ne pas utiliser :
- Éviter d’immerger le produit ou de le nettoyer avec l’une des substances suivantes : hypochlorite de sodium (eau de Javel chlorée), peroxyde d’hydrogène, bain de bouche ou produits alcoolisés. Leur utilisation peut entraîner une décoloration et des dommages au matériau.

9) Élimination
Des services spécialisés se chargent des déchets biologiques dangereux, mais pour les particuliers, il est essentiel de les éliminer via les filières de collecte ménagères habituelles. Il s’agit donc de les éviter autant que possible dans les décharges, et surtout de ne pas les jeter dans les égouts ni dans les centres de recyclage.

Reinigungsanleitung
- Dandy recommends, Ihre Apparatur täglich sowie vor und nach jedem Gebrauch zu reinigen. Direkt nach dem Herausnehmen: Verwenden Sie warmes Wasser (nicht über 45 °C / 113 °F) und Spülmittel, um verbleibenden Speichel und Rückstände vom Produkt zu entfernen.
- Verwenden Sie ausschließlich ein mildes, antibakterielles Mittel (Flüssigspülseife).
- Keine parfümierten oder mit Aromen versetzten Seifen verwenden
- Keine Seifen mit starken Farbstoffen und Farben verwenden
- Spülen Sie die Apparatur gründlich mit kaltem Wasser ab.
- Verwenden Sie kein heißes Wasser, da sich die Apparatur dadurch verziehen kann.
- Verwenden Sie kein Mundwasser, da dies zu Verfärbungen des Produkts führen kann.
- Reinigen Sie die Apparatur täglich.
VERWENDUNG VON REINIGUNGSMITTELN

6) Conservazione
Il dispositivo deve essere conservato in un contenitore asciutto e pulito quando non utilizzato
7) Durata prevista / Servizio
La durata prevista di un paradenti varia in base al tipo: 1-5 years per protezioni personalizzate resistenti, a seconda dell'uso, del materiale e della cura, con digrignamento intenso o pulizia inadeguata che accorciano significativamente la durata e le rendono meno protettive. I controlli regolari di eventuali incrinature, vestibilità, odore o danni sono indicatori chiave per la sostituzione, garantendo una protezione coerente contro gli impatti sportivi o il digrignamento dei denti (bruxismo).
