Kloud Night Guard - Mouth Guard for Clenching Teeth and Grinding Teeth, 2 Pack Custom Moldable Dental Mouth Guard...

This mouth guard is so uncomfortable and too thick. I cant wear it for more than 5 minutes, it is a waste of money. Definitely does not match the description. It was relatively easy to mold but is just too think and very uncomfortable.

I found myself in the market for a self molded guard and had tried two other brands, both had good ratings and reviews before I tried this one. The first brand molded with hot water and I had to use two before I got it right. It really was thin and hands down had the best grip and fit of any of them. The problem was that after a week or so I noticed I had pain in teeth that werent normally being affected. The molding was very hard and didnt offer any sort of cushioning but rather just a barrier from tooth to tooth grinding. On to brand No.2- this guard also molded in a hot water bath and came with 4 to a pack and was by far the most economical. I immediately messed up the first one..even while being careful with it the guard folded into itself and would not release. 2nd attempt went better and I got a successful molding. This guard was very soft and offered great support, but it was very thick on the front of my teeth so my mouth felt like it was continuously being opened. I tried a third time and managed to get the front pressed fairly flat which helped the original problem. But then I had a problem with the rear molars pressing tightly and causing clenching. I tried the fourth one and after another week gave up, the material was just too thick. The Kloud came the next week, come in a two pack and doesnt use a water bath, instead it uses a small bit of rolled up paper towel that you wet and wedge into the groove where your teeth would rest, which you then pop into a 1100-1200w microwave for around 40sec. Pull it out remove the paper towel and fit into your mouth just as you do the other guards. I followed the instructions and on the first try got a decent fit! That night I felt like the rear was still just a tad too thick because I hadnt really pressed my molars into it so, no problem, this thing can be reheated and molded several times. Whereas guard no 1 was way to hard, guard 2 was soft but too thick, this Kloud guard is just right!! It is easy to form, fits snug and remains soft and thick enough to provide a cushion but not so thick it messes with your natural jaw/lip alignment! My search is over! This is the Goldilocks just right for me guard!

I tried a few other mouth guards before this one. One was too short and actually caused more back tooth pain from the uneven coverage from front to back. Another, just too tight and hard. When I first got this one, I was wondering if I should trim along the top where the guard goes over my gums, but I chose not to and try it first without a trim. ( I think others reviewing had gum irritation after trimming - Id advise not doing that. This guard is comfortable even with more gum coverage. Also, my mouth pain is gone after regular use of this product and after being told I grind my teeth a lot while sleeping. Worth a try

Been wearing night guards for 15 years now bc being born without one side incisor, even after 3 rounds of braces I dont have alignment and majorly grind my teeth. I wore Drs night guard for years bc after getting fancy expensive guards thru insurance including the army, I still chewed thru them at the same rate. Recently it felt like Drs guard was too thick so I first tried Protect the Crown and tried this Kloud brand second. Protect the Crown is by far the winner here which was surprising. For some reason, this Kloud material is too easily compressed so within 2 nights the Kloud guard was no longer providing any real relief or protection. Protect the crown lasts about 2 months per guard and you get 2 per pack. I used the Drs for about 5-6 months per so not far off but my jaw feels much more relaxed in true morning with Protect the Crown bc theyre not as thick. Theyre also easier to make.

It is really easy to create the mold with your teeth. Unfortunately, my mouth is small and while it did help with grinding, it ended up hurting my gums. Other than that, it definitely helps with preventing grinding your teeth.
