I clench my teeth and this helps to relieve the pressure when I sleep. Good product for the price. I use the small one and it fits better.
 Not for me... July 26, 2010
Mr. Drumngun
This guard is easy enough to mold and trim yet has too much mass to be comfortable for all night use. I always wake up in the morning with my guard on the floor because I take it out in the middle of the night due to the discomfort. It also gave me headaches and ear pain from being so bulky. I did trim significantly however due to the nature of my small mouth it is simply to bulky.

I could not get this item to fit comfortably. It is a poor substitute for dentist-made bite guards.
It's okay! June 24, 2010

I bought this product because I have been grinding my teeth for years (not all the time). It was my first time using a product for teeth grinding. I had a hard time keeping it in my mouth closed - I am not one to sleep with my mouth open - so needless to say I spent most of the night trying to close my mouth and trying not to drool! I guess if I gave it a chance, it would work. If I want to stop grinding my teeth then this is the price I have to pay, using a mouth gaurd.
All 'boil to fit' models work fine for me June 7, 2010

I have used various brands of night time dental guards for years. All were the type that you custom fit by first boiling in water to soften. Never had any problems, they all worked fine, none wore out.
You have created a good fit if the appliance is held very tight when in use. There should be strong upward forces created by vacuum. In other words each of your teeth in each of the depressions in the appliance creates a suction cup. Exactly like something you would hold on the dashboard of your car by a suction cup, except the forces are upward instead of downward. The appliance will feel like a giant magnet is holding it in perfectly tight.
Find the slot between your middle two teeth (always the upper teeth, all brands of guards goes on the upper teeth only)! You only have one slot that is the middle slot, know which slot that is.
Find the exact middle of the plastic mouth guard (scratch it with a pick or something to mark the middle if there isn't already something on the guard to mark the middle).
After following EXACTLY the boiling and cooling times, IN FRONT OF A MIRROR center the mouthpiece quickly with mouth open. You can only do this if you learned beforehand the precise middle of the guard and your teeth.
Close mouth and push the guard back very tightly against the front of your teeth with fingers against your front lips.
With mouth still closed push the sides in with your fingers against both sides of your jaw against the sides of your teeth very tightly.
Suck in so the mouthpiece jumps upwards sharply and tightly against the roof of your mouth. At the same time use your tongue to help push it up even harder.
So far you should not have bitten down!
Only when the guard is tightly back against the front of your teeth, and tightly against the sides of your teeth (both sides), and tightly sucked against the roof of your mouth do you then for the first time bite down HARD and hold for 30 seconds or so.
You're done.
It is easier and quicker then it sounds. But have whatever procedure you are going to use memorized.
The guard will fit tightly, never come loose or move during the night, and will wear like iron for several months. After years I never had a mouthpiece move or come out at night, and never got close to wearing any of them out. Still I buy a new one every 6 months. I rate all brands, all models a perfect five stars, they are all wonderful in my experience. Including this exact model.
