Mouth Guard for Teeth Grinding: Nighttime Dental Guard for Clenching, TMJ Relief - BPA Free, Moldable, Includes 4 Guards for Adults & Kids with Case

This is the third time that I have purchased this product. I have been using the larger of the two sizes every night for the past six or seven years. I was treated for TMJ and had an expensive guard during the five years I was treated. Then I switched from the professionally fit (and very expensive device) to this after my symptoms subsided. I clean the guard every morning but eventually I swap them out for a new one. I am getting my six month cleaning tomorrow so I’ll switch to a fresh guard too.

I generally don't trust flowery reviews, so I'll do my best to be fair, concise, and remain on point.First, I tried others, including the "Ultimate" dental guard from one of the big boys. It was anything but, at least for me. Its ill-fit was exceeded only by its price, but I'll save that for another review.This guard cannot be matched, especially for the price. The fact that you get a total of four dental guards in two different sizes gives you a backup, options, and margin for error. I needed that last one, as I botched the first molding by making the water too hot and leaving the guard in juuust a bit too long. There are clear directions that, if you follow better than I did, will provide excellent results. Pay attention to those temperatures and timeframes. I bought an inexpensive food thermometer to get the second one right.When fitting, don't immediately dismiss one or the either size based on pre-mold fit. I started with the larger because the smaller one just seemed too small. I was able to salvage the larger one I botched for size comparison, and then proceeded to mold the smaller one even though it didn't feel right before heating in the water. However, after doing so, it became very pliable and fit much better than the larger one, as it didn't go all the way to the back of my mouth. I had to trim the larger guard, which was easy enough, but the smaller guard fit perfectly! It doesn't have to cover the very back teeth if you are getting these to prevent your teeth clenching. They won't make contact. Perhaps consider the smaller pair first to prevent clenching and the larger for whitening.As for performance. These were perfect! They did not come out of place in my mouth at night (something I can't say for the "ultimate" that I almost choked on). And it wasn't for lack of trying. I was in rare form the first night, dreaming that I was eating a cookie, as I woke up chewing on these. They never shifted location. Since then, my mouth has become accustomed to having a guard in place, so less cookie dreams, for better or worse. Regardless, they are comfortable and reliable!The next morning, I had no aftertaste or bad taste or any taste that I've seen others comment on about dental guards in general. They were easy to clean, too. I just used my electric toothbrush on them after brushing my teeth, rinsed them off, shook them off, and let them air dry in the handy container that was provided before closing it. All ready for the following night! Also, I should probably be saying "it" instead of "them." I only had one guard in my mouth to keep from clenching, but I'm not going back to change all of that now. ;-)So much for concise. Wrapping up, I would just say you're not going to get a better fit with as many options and a tray for anywhere near this price. When the time comes, I will definitely buy again!

I know mine looks crazy but it fits like a glove. I had to fit it twice but after the 2nd fitting it was perfect. I might trim off the excess but maybe not, the excess actually doesn’t even bother me. I’ll see after a couple weeks. And it came with 4 in the pack!

edit: More than anything, people should know that customer service for this product doesn't exist. Not on here, not on their website, not phone, email or chat. Nothing.This has a very VERY strong chemical smell and taste. I was trying the small one in my mouth just to see if it would fit and a horrible plastic chemical smell hit me in the face. I could NOT believe this. I've used night guards my whole life, and need some otc ones for a minute, and this is nothing like... I mean, I have never. I opened another of them to see if it was a one-off or fluke or something, and the bag just reeked. I still have the taste of it in my mouth from the one I tried and I have flossed and brushed my teeth twice. I admit I have sensory issues, but this is a huge NOPE, and 2 others have smelled them to make sure. I just can't believe how awful this is.Will be sending back, of course. It's rated very highly in one of the top google searches. That's too bad. I was hoping to get some that fit better than the dentek, but it won't be these.

Ok so I went to the dentist they said I need a guard cause I'm grinding my teeth. Since covid started Ive been stressed so yes I have been grinding my teeth and all that. The dentist wanted to give me teeth guard but it was going to come out to 600 bucksI don't have that money on spot so I looked it up found this.My thoughts on it . I love it and hate it.Love it cause it's affordable it feels like it might help me. I'm wearing now as we speakHate it cause you have to mold it personally. I thought just like a foot ball thing you pop in your mouth. Nope. So you have mold these thingsI recommend using the large size it comes with cause the small one shrinks.Basically you put it in got water for like 10 second take it out let it cool for 5 second pop it in your mouth doesn't matter if it's too or bottom just bite into the mold with form aroundAnother think I dislike is how thick it feels actually feels like it's gonna bother me butI give it 4 stars cause It feels like it will help and I need to get use to this.One more thing just becareful with cutting it if you cut wrong you'll make it looseAnyways yeaBut it's a good start for those who are new. If you have gag reflex or sentive taste. This is not for you.
