Mouth Guard for Grinding Teeth at Night - Model for Regular Grinding Teeth Pack of 6 Moldable Dental Night Guards for Teeth Grinding and Clenching...

The night guard is very good - when properly molded to your teeth, it fits comfortably and securely. It effectively prevents teeth grinding and clenching - great if you have TMJ or related issues. I wake up with noticeably less pain in my jaw. What really surprised me was the customer service. When you go to watch the instructional video for molding the guard to your teeth, it also connects you with someone via FB chat who will walk you through the process and will help you fix it if the mold isn't quite right. Just send them a few pictures after you're done and they'll evaluate it. They then check on you 24 hours later to make sure the first use worked well and, if not, then help you fix it further. The person who helped me was surprisingly attentive and seemed genuinely concerned in making sure the product worked for me. I messed up the initial fitting and they helped me remold it successfully. I will be buying these again when it's time to replace them.

The following is NOT medical advice, it is ONLY my personal experience and opinion. Please consult a licensed medical professional prior to using any over the counter medical or dental device! I bought this Night Guard on 06/2021, and it is still going strong even w/my biting it, chewing, and grinding on it pretty regularly. I bought this Night Guard (NG), because I was tired of waking up with teeth intentions in my tongue, and tongue pain from what felt like my almost biting my tongue through while I slept! Ugh! I had previously spoken with a Dentist who recommended I use a Night Guard (NG), and then proceeded to charge me an arm and a leg to custom fit one for me. Only to have that NG not last very long, only a few months, before my consistent use broke through the silicon and it become unusable. I have since learned from use of other NGs, that the silicon was just too thin to hold up to my biting, grinding while asleep. Note: IF You are new to using NGs then it may take you a while to get used to sleeping with a foreign object in Your mouth. Yes, it may not stay in your mouth the entire night, but that does NOT mean it isnt helping You (see my comments below about my own experiences with the NG not remaining in place through out the night/my sleep.) At least give the NG (whichever one You chose), a good month of consistent use, before You decide to throw Your hands up and that it isnt working for you, or it is something too uncomfortable for You to use when You sleep. By uncomfortable, I mean having an object in your mouth, I do NOT mean discomfort when the NG is in Your mouth, if You experience discomfort from where the NG touches Your teeth or gums, then the NG needs to be recustomized! You need to go back through the reheat customization process, and recustomize the NGs Fit. However, if You feel generally uncomfortable, because You have a foreign object in Your mouth, then I recommend that You just continue to stick to it, and keep using the NG, as You will likely get used to the NG over time (the length of time differs per person, from my conversations with others who also have used NGs.). However, IF You have a deviated septum, snore loudly, and/or snore or wake often during sleep due to interruptions in Your breathing pattern, have sleep apnea, or any other difficulty breathing while sleeping at night, then do NOT use a NG without FIRST consulting Your Physician!! As NGs are NOT recommended for people with breathing issues during sleep!! since the NG may exacerbate/worsen your breathing issues or potentially cause You to unintentionally choke!! So, speak to Your Licensed Medical Practitioner before using a NG to ensure that You can safely use one with Your medical condition! HOW TO CUSTOMIZE, CLEAN & STORE: This night guard is EASY to CUSTOMIZE, You simply boil about a cup, a cup and a half of water, (just enough water to cover the night guard when it is submerged in whatever container you plan to put it in while warming it), wait for the water to cook from boiling hot to warm (just hotter than comfortable to stick your finger in it, maybe 5min?, If the water ends up too cool, just take the night guard out, place it on a paper towel and reheat the water and try again), when the NG is sufficiently warm, it will become pliable (you can easily bend it, etc.), wait until it is cool enough You can put it in your mouth without burning yourself, then place the NG into Your mouth and bite down on it, to impress Your teeth impression into the silicon of the NG. Do NOT bite down so hard that You bite through the NG (or bite the NG super thin) as that would defeat the purpose. You are aiming for a customized FIT, and NOT to bite through it! Plus, if any part of the NG is uncomfortable when customizing or later after using, You can simply reheat it and redo the customization process. If You still have issues, then You can reheat the NG, and using a few handy kitchen or toolbox tools, You should be able to press, push, and/or possibly cut (though I do not recommend cutting it, thats just a last resort, as cutting it would likely void any warranty and replacement by the manufacturer), and You should be able to smoosh/squash any uncomfortable piece down/into submission and a more comfortable placement. Once Customized be sure to store Your NG in the Blue Container that comes with it, after use. You can clean it regularly by soaking it in Efferdent or another over the counter denture cleaner. Be sure completely dry before storing. MATERIAL: I have used other NGs and this one is comparable. Like many others, this NG is made of clear silicon that becomes pliable in warm to hot water. The hotter the water, the more pliable, (so make sure the water isnt so hot that it totally loses its shape!, as that would ruin it!) COST+VALUE: The cost of this NG is definitely a point of value considering how much dental offices charge for customized NGs, which is typically an outrageous amount! Also, when compared to other NGs s...
