Customer Reviews

Make Your Own Mouthguard
These mouthguards work well for people who grind their teeth at night. However, a couple things you need to know. The size large worked for me. I am 5' 10" and 150 pounds, not a large guy. The size small worked for my wife, who is small. The other thing is it takes a bit of practice to get a good fit. You aren't likely to get it right the first time. You might want to buy a pair and figure the first one is just practice. Then, when you have a fit, trim it so it isn't too clunky in your mouth.

Lousy
This product is not ready for prime-time. What you are supposed to do is boil the protector in water and then press the scalding hot appliance into your teeth a good 3-4 millimeters. Even if you can take the heat the appliance does not get soft enough to really get your teeth in that far. The best I could manage was a "dent" in the plastic. Even if you do get your teeth into it there is so much spillover on the sides that you'll not be able to close your mouth and you'll wake up in a puddle of drool. So you will spend hours cutting and shaving the appliance to try to get something usable and in the end you'll wind up just returning it for a refund.

MUCH BETTER THAN THE ONES AT THE DENTIST OFFICE
I have been at the dentist almost six months trying to get a night guard, but my experience was not good. So far, they have made three of them without any success. All of themstarted moving all my teeth and the biting started getting spoiled. On top of that, the cost of such night guard was U$ 340. I decided to give this one a try, and even though I had to try it twice, I finally could get the shape I needed. It is true that it is somewhat bulky and that sometimes it takes more than one to get it done well, bu it works MUCH BETTER than the one at the dentist office - which is adjusted by the assistant, not the dentist - and is also way much cheaper. It makes no sense at all to pay hundreds of dollars for just a piece of plastic that, as in my experience, does not work.
