DenTek Comfort-Fit Dental Guard For Nighttime Teeth Grinding, Comfort-Fit Guard, 2 count(Pack of 1)

I had a night guard made by my dentist. It was for the 6 upper front teeth only. Boy did that thing do a number to my jaw. My NEW dentist told me that it was because my teeth were not able to come together at night it caused my jaw to go out of alignment and I've had bite issues ever since :/ After paying hundreds of dollars for that fiasco, and using up my "one every five years" dental coverage, I purchased the full mouth DenTek (this one https://www.amazon.com/Dentek-Professional-Maximum-Protection-Dental/dp/B008YEMVSI/ref=sr_1_15_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1483981143&sr=8-15&keywords=night+guards). It was ok. I didn't really care for it much. While I was able to put my teeth together, my mouth never really closed shut all the way because it was so big. Because my mouth didn't close all the way I ended up with very dry, yucky mouth by morning. It was so bad I was actually sleeping without the guard. I think it even encouraged my grinding because it was so big and just...THERE and gave me something to grind and grind and clench and clench. It started to come apart (the grinding "plate" and the molded teeth part) less than 7 months later.Looking for an alternative I found this little guard. OMG I LOVE this guard!!!! I push this thing to the smallest available position, pop it on the bottom, and I'm off to snoring land. My mouth closes, I hardly know it's in there at all. As others have said it does rub the right side of my lower gum just a tad but I just adjust the plate to sit a little bit towards the front of my mouth on that side. Yep I was also worried about swallowing this thing...that won't ever happen.The box contains TWO guards too. So maybe it won't last as long as the other (been wearing it about a month now) but I'm ok with that! There are two lol. I love this one so much I'm thinking about ordering 4-5 more boxes just in case they ever discontinue this guard...that is my luck!Updated review: I came back to order another two and I read some other reviews. I want to thank the person who said they use the Plackers Grind No More disposable guards. I ordered those. I thought these guards were awesome but the Plackers are WAY better. There is zero rubbing. I put the Plackers guards on top which I love so much better than the bottom (like these). Plackers are also a little smaller. I know they say the Plackers are disposable but I've been wearing 1 for over a week. I just rinse my mouth, with the guard in it, in the morning with Listerine, then I rinse and dry the guard. So far working great. So after trying a professional guard, a mold myself guard, the dentek guards and now the Plackers guards...Plackers, Plackers, Plackers

JAW PAIN AND CLENCHING. I've struggled with TMD (TMJ) for a few years now, and the disorder is absolutely miserable and unrelenting. Sometimes, I cry at night and feel miserable and hopeless about it because there was nothing that helped. I was stuck! The Dentek device now gives me something to try that works better than everything else, and I have literally spent $100s of US dollars on multiple other devices and remedies.The jaw muscle is incredibly strong. No one realizes this until you have a problem. When my jaw acts up, there's nothing I can do to relax it. My symptoms get really bad, my jaw starts clicking, my jaw won't stop clenching, and it's painful to eat and talk, the night brace helps keep my back teeth apart offering me some relief.DESCRIPTION. It's lower profile (thinner) with two small T-shaped shields that position between your back teeth. TIP: I don't put it on my back teeth because of my gag reflex. Then, there's about a 3 inch adjustable band that connects the two shield pieces. This piece has a flatter profile against your teeth. It fits into the top of the shield pieces. It clicks 4-5 spots into the shield pieces on each side so you can get the perfect fit for your sized mouth/teeth. While the shields go between your back teeth, the connecting band goes on the front of your upper teeth.EASY TO USE. The device is straight forward and simple to use. There is nothing to boil and shape. There is nothing to trim. It's ready to go when you open it. Obviously, clean it before putting in your mouth is important. All you have to do is put it in your mouth. The big parts that look like shields go between your back teeth. The thin connector goes in front of your upper teeth. If it doesn't fit perfectly, take it out and make it bigger or smaller. Then, try it again until it's customized to your unique mouth.STORAGE BOX. It comes with a storage box for daytime storage. However, when your jaw gets bad, you can pull it out for daytime wear to give your clenched jaw some relief. Rinse the device and box daily. Actually, the storage box is also pretty clever too. It has holes in the top and bottom to dry everything out. It has some internal slats on the bottom of the container to keep the device from laying flat in the box. This helps prevent bacterial growth, and as a nurse I really like that.GETTING USED TO IT. Because of my gag reflex, and I just don't like weird devices in my mouth. So, I didn't like it at first. I had to try it a few nights to get used to it. TIP: I would try it out for a few hours every evening after dinner to get used to it. Put it in after dinner when you're watching TV or reading so you're distracted and not obsessing about something new being in your mouth. If that trial goes well, try it overnight.Honestly, there's nothing else that works better to give your back teeth clenching relief from the incessant pain and pressure. If you are desperate and tried everything else like me, give this Dentek device a try.OTHER DEVICES. For $25, it's more expensive than others. The other appliances out there are good ideas, but are way too thick and trigger my gag reflex. They fill my mouth with thick plastic, when I just needed help on my back teeth. Also, some are so thick and awkward, they made my bite even worse. I don't need a device to make my bite worse, I have enough troubles.RECOMMENDATION. All mouth appliances feel weird in your mouth, but if you must use something, Dektek Mouth Guard is definitely the best! Believe me, I have tried a lot of them. All good ideas, but way too bulky. Some other devices even made my problems worse. But this device is the lowest profile out there while still being safe so you don't choke on it. It is a really smart device. I would highly recommend it for relief from devastating jaw pain and tension!
