Rewarded Review

I am a heavy teeth grinder. My dentist has created a custom fit one--but it fit over my incisors and was very, very, VERY uncomfortable. I started looking for alternatives. This is one of the more common types of over-the-counter mouthguards--boil water, dunk guard until it softens up, bite over it, wait until it cools. Not terribly hard. And while it's much more comfortable fitting it over the upper teeth, it will work with lower ones, too. Here are the two downsides, though: 1. The guard sticks over the teeth as you remove it. I have some fillings on my teeth and I worry if it will remove it every time I imprint a new one. Likewise, it also sticks to the mold and is sometimes difficult to remove. 2. It says it lasts 6 months--but it will not last 6 months before cracking. It's more like "it'll last 6 months before the guard's imprinted portion literally splits in two and decouples from the plastic plate that separates the teeth." I'm not sure if that's what they meant, but that's about how it lasts with each one of these that I went through. And I'm sure I've eaten those tiny little plastic bits that broke apart as I slept. I'd get other mouthguards, but most--even including Remi, which comes with one guard for upper and lower teeth and is honestly not a bad a deal if it works with your teeth (their customer service is, unfortunately, pretty lacking)--won't take the abuse as gracefully as these; Remi would literally shatter after a few months. Other Dentek stuff aren't form-fitting, and often not comfortable. And for off brand guards... well... I'll continue to use these. I don't have a choice. It's probably the best one for my specific use case. But man, I wish there was a better choice.
