AIRWAAV PX1 MOUTHPIECE

FITTING & USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

MICROWAVE APPROACH

(RECOMMENDED)

TO FIT AIRWAAV PX1 YOU WILL NEED:

  • Microwave
  • Paper Towel
  • Plate
  • Slotted Spoon
  • Bowl of Cold Water
  • Mirror

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: PROTECT

Roll up part of a dripping wet paper towel and place it in between the channels of the mouthpiece to help prevent the walls from folding when heating the mouthpiece.

STEP 2: COVER

Cover the plate with a dripping wet paper towel and place the AIRWAAV in the middle of the plate with the side walls of the mouthpiece facing up. Cover the AIRWAAV performance mouthpiece by folding up the soaked paper towel.

STEP 3: MICROWAVE

Place the plate in the microwave and heat for 60 seconds. (Add more time if needed based on microwave power level). Stay by the microwave and take out the plate as soon as the heat time is completed to prevent the material from resting too long and deforming.

STEP 4: RETRIEVE AND DUNK

As soon as it's taken out of the microwave, remove the mouthpiece from the plate, loosen the paper towel covering the mouthpiece, remove the rolled-up paper towel and drop the mouthpiece directly into the bowl of cold water (please use caution the paper towel and mouthpiece could be very hot). Allow the mouthpiece to rest in the bowl of cold water for 3 seconds.

STEP 5: MOLD

While looking into a mirror, carefully place the AIRWAAV on your bottom teeth and avoid the sidewalls from closing in by having your teeth placed in the center of the bite channel. The mouthpiece will be in the correct position once the front Intake Bar is sitting behind your front lower teeth. The front Intake Bar should not be on top of your lower front teeth. Once the mouthpiece is in the correct position, mold by:

  • Gently biting down
  • Periodically pressing your fingers into the sidewalls of the mouthpiece to push the soft fitting material around your teeth.
  • Keep the mouthpiece in your mouth for at a minimum of 5 MINUTES. The longer you keep it in, the better the fit will be the following day.
STEP 6: BREAK YOUR BEST

After at least 5 minutes of molding the AIRWAAV in your mouth, place the molded device back in cold water for 30 seconds to solidfiy the material. It is recommended to wait 24 hours after the molding step before using the mouthpiece, as AIRWAAV's patented fitting material will continue to shrink and proivde a tighter fit during that time.

After 24 hours, the AIRWAAV mouthpiece will be ready to use. Follow the directions below to properly adopt AIRWAAV into your training or sport.

To properly use AIRWAAV and experience the benefits, gently bite down on the mouthpiece and place your tongue down & forward under the intake bar during exercise. We recommend breathing through both your mouth and nose. If the mold of your mouthpiece changes at any time, you can re-mold it using this same process.

BOILING WATER APPROACH

TO FIT AIRWAAV PX1 YOU WILL NEED:

  • Stove
  • Pot
  • Slotted Spoon
  • Bowl of Cold Water
  • Mirror

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: BOIL

Fill a pot with enough water so that the mouthpiece can be submerged without touching the bottom of the pot and heat on a stove.

STEP 2: DROP

Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat and drop the mouthpiece into the boiling water. Leave the mouthpiece in the water for one minute.

STEP 3: RETRIEVE & DUNK

Retrieve the mouthpiece using a slotted spoon and drop it directly into the bowl of cold water. Allow the mouthpiece to rest in the bowl of cold water for 3 seconds.

STEP 4: MOLD

While looking into a mirror, carefully place the AIRWAAV on your bottom teeth and avoid the sidewalls from closing in by having your teeth placed in the center of the bite channel. The mouthpiece will be in the correct position once the front Intake Bar is sitting behind your front lower teeth. The front Intake Bar should not be on top of your lower front teeth. Once the mouthpiece is in the correct position, mold by:

  • Gently biting down
  • Periodically pressing your fingers into the sidewalls of the mouthpiece to push the soft fitting material around your teeth.
  • Keep the mouthpiece in your mouth for at a minimum of 5 MINUTES. The longer you keep it in, the better the fit will be the following day.
STEP 5: COOL

After 5 minutes of molding the AIRWAAV in your mouth, place the molded device back in cold water for 5 minutes to solidify the material. It is recommended to wait 24 hours after the molding step before using the mouthpiece, as AIRWAAV's patented fitting material will continue to shrink and provide a tighter fit during that time.

STEP 6: BREAK YOUR BEST

After 24 hours, place the mouthpiece in your mouth and head out for a workout. To properly use AIRWAAV and experience the benefits, gently bite down the mouthpiece and place your tongue down & forward under the intake bar during exercise. We recommend breathing through both your mouth and nose. If the mold of your mouthpiece changes at any time, you can re-mold it using this same process.

FITTING TIPS

  • Post-Molding: The longer you retain the mouthpiece post-molding, the better it will fit. The material will start to shrink as it cools, providing a customizable fit. We recommend a minimum of 5 minutes.
  • Trimming: If the mouthpiece feels too large, causing discomfort or gagging, you can carefully trim it for a better fit.
  • Patience is Key: It typically takes about 3-4 weeks to fully acclimate to the mouthpiece, and it can be new for many athletes. Initial feelings of awkwardness or discomfort are normal. Push through this phase, and soon you won't even notice it's there.
  • Re-Molding: If the mouthpiece does not have the initial fit you are looking for, re-mold it using the same process as needed.
  • Cleanliness: To ensure longevity and hygiene, always clean your mouthpiece with the AIRWAAV Mouthpiece Cleaner between uses.

HOW TO USE AIRWAAV

  1. Place the AIRWAAV mouthpiece on lower teeth and gently bite down on the bite plate. Clenching will place the jaw in the optimal position and will accelerates neuromuscular response for improved overall output.
  2. Move tongue forward, placing it under the front intake bar on the inside of your lower teeth. Placing the tongue in this position along with your tongue's reaction to the material on the inside of your molars causes the tongue to flex, opening the airway and improving O2/CO2 exchange.

During this phase, you might notice excessive saliva production or even a dry mouth. Don't be alarmed; this is a natural reaction as your body gets accustomed to the mouthpiece. With time, these sensations will diminish.

WEEK 2: INTENSIFY

Now that you've had a week to get comfortable, it's time to up the ante. Begin incorporating the mouthpiece into more intense activities. Listen to your body and gradually introduce the mouthpiece into different facets of your training, such as:

  • Weightlifting
  • Light jogging
WEEK 3: FULL THROTTLE

By the third week, AIRWAAV should feel like an extension of you. You're now ready to utilize the mouthpiece in high-intensity segments of your sport or focus. Perform with confidence.
