2 Pack Night Guard - Custom Fitting Mouth Guard for Nighttime Teeth Grinding & Clenching, Made in USA, Case Included (Clear)...

DREAMEZs two pack of night guards resembles the athletes mouth guard, especially the type you boil and then fit to your mouth (yes, I remember that process from years playing contact football). The difference is in the process to prep and customize the fit for these nighttime teeth-grinding guards. Its a microwave now, instead of the boiling water, and then BITE to customize. Simple! I am a nighttime teeth-grinder, and more than one dentist over the years has warned me that my unintentional grinding wreaks havoc on my teeth, so much that Ive had to replace a crown (or two) after grinding. The cost of a fitted appliance is excessive, and they dont last forever, so its great to find an option, especially one that is custom fitted to my current bite. That second night guard in the package can be a replacement if/when my bite changes. And, yes, the package includes a clear case that stores the guard when not in use, and also lets you soak your guard for cleaning.

I have to admit that I was quite skeptical about these, but I'm really glad I gave it a try. They are easy to customize and comfortable to wear. A night-guard from a dentist can easily cost $500, often much more. I have one from my dentist and I think it was almost $600. This material is a bit thinner than the professional one, but more comfortable to wear and just as effective. The directions are quite clear, but it's as easy as wetting a paper towel, stuffing some of it in the groove of a single guard, wrapping the rest with the remainder of the paper towel, popping it into the microwave for 40 seconds (or so, give or take 5), popping it into the mouth, and sucking it into position while it cools. It's hot to the touch immediately after removing it from the microwave, but within seconds of being uncovered, it cools to a comfortable temperature for the gums. When it's hot, the material is very pliable and forms to fit the mouth perfectly. After a minute or two, it is a solid mass again and a comfortable cushion between tops and bottoms. I can't recommend this enough. I'm buying some for my children to prevent them from having teeth like mine. :)

Directions were simple and I like not having to boil in water to shape. Custom fit and is comfortable at night. Would recommend.

These dental guards require a microwave (not boiling water) to mold them so if you dont own a microwave (like me) youll need to plan to go to someones house to do the fitting. :) They are fairly easy to work with and I like that you can redo the fitting multiple times until it feels right. They can also be trimmed however I have not had to do that yet. Made in the USA, these seem to be good quality. My only gripe is that the box or container was not sealed with a tamper evident sticker or shrink wrap, while other guards Ive ordered in the past have been sealed. Other than that, these seem to work well and for the price theyre listed at ($29.99 at time of review), it sure beats spending hundreds of dollars getting a custom mold made at the dentist.

I have tried various mouth guards over the years with varying success. I have tried many of the boil in water night guards but have only had success fitting them correctly a couple of times. The biggest problem with the boil in the water guards is you have one, maybe two shots of getting them to fit. If you boil them in water and dont get them to fit your mouth properly the first time, forget it and you have to use another one. I have used the thin plastic strips most often because I cannot get those boil in the water ones to work, but the strips have their flaws. On occasion I have had these shift in my mouth at night or even fall out. I was quite eager to try the DreamEZ night guards when I realized they were custom fitted to my mouth without boiling in water. Simply put a damp paper towel in the groove and heat in the microwave. What a great idea! And even better than that? I can reheat the guard numerous times until Im happy with the fit! I probably heated the one mouth guard six times before I was happy enough with the fit to sleep in it. I still had problems the first night and had to trim some of the excess down as it was rubbing the roof of my mouth painfully. I also felt that the guard was pushing my teeth in. So I will need to reheat and reform the guard to fit better. I love that I can do this with these guards! The DreamEZ night guards are a major improvement in night guards. The ease of microwaving rather than boiling is a time saver. The flexibility of being able to reheat and adjust the fit until I get it right has finally been figured out. The price of around $15 per guard is a great deal for a custom fitting mouth guard. And lastly, this product is made in the US. My ZeeBooth rating system- Five stars-Great item. May have a minor flaw that does not detract from appearance or function. Four stars-Great item. Flaw or problem more noticeable. Or, price may be high for what it is. Three stars-Good item. Has a flaw/problem that requires more work than should be invested in a product. Two stars-May be a good item with work. Or, doesnt work for me. One star-Nope. Doesnt work for me and probably wont for anyone else.
