Lifesaver, or at least dental saver
I've bitten through 3 OTC mouth guards in as many weeks. I ordered this after my dentist told me my insurance doesn't cover mouth guards and one would cost me almost $500. I received the mold kit in just a few days, the instructions were easy to follow, and the mold hardened correctly. Only difficult part was getting the mold to come off, which was corrected by wiggling the mold to get it off my teeth. I sent the mold in, along with the additional order paper they send you. For $30 you can have them keep your mold for 5 years, allowing you to purchase additional guards at the reduced price. They only keep the mold for a few months otherwise. I have 3 crowns and a gap at my gums in between my front teeth. The mold and the guard have not affected either one. Its significantly more comfortable than OTC guards, and I no longer drool at night from an oversized bulky guard. The guard is perfectly formed to my teeth, even though I have a very small mouth. I can pop this in and it doesn't move or fall out. I can even talk with it in. Its easy to clean, and over the last month or so, there are only a few scratches where my teeth rub. I actually grind my teeth so bad I had to go in ro the dentist 4 times in 2 weeks because of chipped teeth, that were actually cutting my mouth and tongue open. Haven't had a single chip since using this guard. On thing to note though, this model is for the grinding and rubbing, not clenching. They have a double soft/hard guard that takes care of that. My teeth and jaw still ache when I wake up from the clenching, but no more dental damage. All in all, best $100 I ever spent (I got the 5 yr extension for them to keep my mold). I highly recommend this guard to anyone who wants a comfortable, durable mouth guard for grinding your teeth.
