As a Registered Dental Hygienist, this is the same model night guard I wear and recommend to my patients! Excessive grinding and clenching of the teeth can be extremely damaging. Premature failure of dental restorations, breakage of teeth and gum line recession are common problems associated with the grinding/clenching habit known as bruxism. In our dental practice we make custom fitted guards that sell for hundreds of dollars but we offer these as an alternative when cost is a concern. After trying dozens of OTC (over the counter) mouth guard models these have proven to be the best fitting most comfortable day/night brux/clench/grind guard. These will double as a sports mouth guard but are intended to be used as a protective device for people who grind and clench their teeth and are wanting a better more comfortable fit than a sports mouth guard can offer.

Summary: saved me a lot of money
Comment: I had been grinding my teeth at night and dentist said I needed a night guard after looking at my teeth last checkup. I didn't want to spend over $300-insurance dosen't cover them, so I got this one after reading reviews. The smaller one is great for me and I did have to try 2 or 3 times to boil it and form it, but it's great now. My neck and face pain are much better now.

Summary: questionable customer service
Comment: After a few tries to mold the mouth guard to fit, it got a couple of holes in the front. I contacted seller. The seller emailed me back - maybe after 2 weeks, saying he has been trying to get in touch with me because he did not get my address due to how Amazon's selling system works. I emailed him back, giving him my address again. He emailed me back and said the item (the small guard only) was in the mail.

After a couple of months, I received nothing.

I was grateful in the beginning that he said he tried multiple times to reach me by email (I actually only received one email). However, after I found out that nothing came in the mail, I am suspicious that if he sent any email at all before that. He may just sent an email later to say he responded after all. but where is the replacement part in the mail?

I was hopeful I may try the thing again - in the beginning I need more times to mold it, but if I get a replacement, I may need to try less and still work better. But I am now discouraged to try it again because what is happening.

Seller, I want to let you know customer service is important on Amazon to make money - I do understand that you want to save money though.

Summary: Good over all, a little thick
Comment: I've tried using the guards that you can get at sports stores, but those were too big and I ended up spitting it out. I've also had the professionally done ones, but I chew through those in 3 months. This one was a little thick at first so I spit it out the first night. What had to be done was to reheat it and smear it over my teeth. After it cools, I cut off the extra bit. Its held up pretty well so far.

Summary: Fantastic fit!
Comment: I can't bias the rating because I'm stupid. At night when I'm sleeping, I take this out of my mouth and start grinding away again. But I must say.. for those of you who wont take it out while you're sleeping, it is a great fit. My boyfriend trimmed it up a bit for me and it fits great!

Summary: Doesn't fit!
Comment: I have bought it based on all the positive recommendations but it didn't work for me and I returned it.

Just like one of the previous reviewers said, I followed the instructions, and the smaller guard was too thick for me. I reheated it, which probably made it even worse. My mouth is small and I don't need a 5mm barrier between my teeth, and in front of my teeth. I don't grind only clench and tend to wake up with swollen gums, so as much as I need some barrier, this was too huge and too uncomfortable. As a matter of fact, it made things worse. When I was laying I felt that the guard would get loose on a side and press on my upper and bottom teeth having a worse effect than clenching. Another issue was that it's too thick that you can't even close your mouth properly. I know that it's possible to cut/sand some pieces off, but that's very difficult to do and requires special tools.

I tried it for a few weeks, and decided to return it.

Contrary to what the producer recommends, I don't think you should use a night guard for sports.

Considering that it works for some, you can always buy it and return it if it doesn't work for you.
