Reviv just launched the new R3 mouthguard

We will review the R3 mouthguard

Some of you may have noticed that the R3 went up on presale on the Reviv website a few days ago.

So I figured i’d review how it stacks up against our other appliances.

First its important to note that with Reviv mouthguards there is no real sequencing. You can start with any of them and there is no real order you should follow.

Which is a bit different to Myobrace where they do have you follow a specific order.

Anyway, let’s dive in.

Introducing the R3

So first let’s start out with the question.. “Why did Reviv make an R3?”

Was it just to squeeze more money out of people and convince them to buy another mouthguard? Hahaha

No, in my view it was not.

Rather it seems Reviv took a lot of feedback from the community into account when creating the R3 and some folks have probably seen this in action.

First it’s important to note that the inspiration for the look of the R3 came from a Reviv community member “New Era” who actually cut a bunch of holes into his R2 and called it his “Rambo Reviv”.

I thought that that was pretty badass…. and plus he said that saliva flow worked much better as a result.

And so Reviv started creating designs that built upon that inspiration.

a post in our community to get feedback on initial designs

Reviv then shared those designs with the community and iterated on them with feedback from community members.

They even decided whether or not to include a tongue tab on it by taking a community vote (having a tongue tab won by a large margin).

And finally they got input on what sizes to offer, which is what led them to the decision to offer an XL size for the very first time.

Plus it gave them the feedback to make it thicker (ie. put more height between the teeth) to create more stretch.

So the goal with the R3 seems to have stemmed from figuring out what people who were using R2 for awhile wanted to change with their appliance. And then creating that for them.

While of course taking into account that you’re never going to make everyone happy.

R3 is an improvement on the R2

So what features define the R3?

Well, as mentioned it is thicker and therefore should be a bit more stretch than the R2 or R1.

It is also cut lower on the top and bottom so that it shouldn’t create as many issues with the gums. Which also makes it a bit easier to start with than either R1 or R2, which both ride a lot higher on the gums.

The airholes are another big difference vs R2 (whose airholes are very small). We wanted to make the R3 easy to mouthbreathe in (for those who need to mouthbreathe) while also allowing for good saliva flow (as a number of folks mentioned it was difficult to swallow saliva with the R2 early on).

I’ve also found that the big airhole up front creates a lot more suction when I use it. And this suction encourages me to nosebreathe so I don’t think the folks that want to encourage nosebreathing will necessarily be disappointed with it either.

Things that are similar to the R2 include:

• The material (foodgrade silicone) is the same and about the same level of hardness as the R2 yellow

• The durability should be about the same (1 year)

• There is a tongue tab

• The color is available in both yellow and clear as it is for the R2

Sizing

The R3 is offered in 3 sizes: M, L and XL

The medium and large sizes of R3 are the same dimensions as the R2.

Plus they now have an XL size as you see above. This had come very popular demand from the community, particulary from the veterans who wanted something larger that would feel like more of a stretch.

this is what i mean by ‘thickness’

Also note that the thickness is almost 2x that of the R2, which should put more stretch as it puts more height between the teeth.

Pricing

The pricing is also consistent with the R2.

Meaning that if you purchase the appliance alone then it starts out at $80 and it reduces by $25 for each Reviv appliance that you have purchased from Reviv. With the minimum price being $30.

Some details on how that works:

• Why did Reviv do this? They did this to reward returning customers and it reflects the fact that it typically costs us a lot to acquire a customer (through Meta, Google ads, affiliates, etc.)

• What products count towards this discount? All mouthguards… so R1, R2, R3, RD1. Not RePod or any non-mouthguards.

• What channels count towards the discount? All channels where our products are sold including our site (www.getretreviv.com), Amazon and Tiktokshop.

• What happens if they don’t see previous orders and you use the lower price? They will email you and ask you to show proof of the previous orders (if they missed them) or to pay the difference.

Their goal with pricing seems to be fair. They are trying to offer their mouthguards at a democratic / affordable price while still enabling the business to be profitable and grow.

Reviv throws everything they earn back into the business to be able to help more people and change more lives.

Also Revis is not some fancy, VC-backed company that can throw money around… I am the only full-time employee and I pinch every penny I can while still trying to be fair to my freelance team.

Closing thoughts

There was a time in 2014 when I felt like a broken person.

I’ve told my story many times… a TMJ dentist filed my back teeth down and my health fell apart rapidly after.

When I asked him to fix what he’d done he just shrugged his shoulders at me and essentially inferred I was making up the fact that there was any connection to what he’d done to me.

I was 37 years old.. i had a child and wife to take care of. And no golden spoon to fall back on.

For ten years I iterated trying to figure out how this stuff worked so I could be a good father for my son and husband to my wife.

There were days when my dreams felt very far away. Like i’d never get there.

But I never gave up.

The success of Reviv and this launch of R3 is to me a symbol of that fact. That I never gave up and i’m coming charging back.

Just like Spartacus gathered his army of slaves on his way to Rome… i’m gathering up the folks that were broken and discarded by this shitty dental/medical system that we have.

And we’re gonna make a difference. You’ll see.

Thank you for all your support!
