Faxx by Morgan Bumper Lip Protector for Braces, Clear
$7.95 $9.95
Item Details
The Morgan Bumper is designed to provide orthodontic patients with a comfortable, easily installed shield for their brackets that bumpers their lips and cheeks from discomfort often associated with braces.
The Morgan Bumper is formed from soft, pliable medical grade polyvinyl-chloride (PVC) that was chosen for its flexibility and adaptability at body temperature.
The Bumper clamps over the braces and its C-shaped design allows the patient to press the device into place. Semi-cylindrical ridges snap over the brackets and O-rings. There is no force or pressure applied by the Bumper.
The elasticity of the legs of the Bumper tend to close the channel, snapping the ridges into engagement with the brackets and O-rings outer surfaces. This facilitates retention of the shield on the brackets.
Once the device is in place, the patient's lip applies additional inward pressure to keep the shield in place.
Inexpensive and attractive, the Morgan Bumper is available in clear (in stock) and fluorescent colors (special order).
How to Use
 |
Trim the Morgan Bumper to length as required to fit your braces. This can best be determined by wrapping the Bumper over the outside of your lips, holding one end on the back brace of one side and wrapping to the back brace of the other side... then simply cut the Bumper to length. |
 |
Place the middle of the cut section over your two front teeth and smooth the Bumper toward your back teeth using your index fingers. Some trimming may be required or practice installing your Bumper to match the ends of your braces. |

FAQ
What is the Morgan Bumper?
The Morgan Bumper is a protective device for people who wear braces. It is a C-shaped channel made of soft, pliable, medical grade plastic that fits easily over the brackets of orthodontic braces to "Bumper" lips and cheeks against discomfort.
What is the difference between wax and the Morgan Bumper?
Wax has been the answer for mouth sores caused by braces for decades--until the Morgan Bumper. Wax can be clumpy and uneven and it can fall out. You will find it ground into the carpet and it gets blown into your musical instrument. The Morgan Bumper is uniform in size and pliable at body temperature to conform to each individual arch.
Can it be used with all braces?
The Morgan Bumper accommodates most all brackets to provide relief from lip and cheek trauma often associated with the brackets and wires of braces.
How long does a Bumper last?
The material is reusable but should be changed frequently (a few times each month) for hygienic purposes. It must also be kept clean between uses
How is the Bumper packaged?
The Morgan Bumper is available in packages that contain foot long strips of the material. Instructions are sent with each order for cutting strips to size. A package of five (5) strips or twenty (20) strips is available in clear or fluorescent colors.
Can I wear the Bumper all the time?
The Bumper is comfortable enough to be worn all your waking hours. However, DO NOT sleep, eat or swim with the Bumper in place. The Bumper is not meant to take the place of a sports mouth guard.
