SleepRightUltra-Comfort Dental Guard Mouth Guard to Prevent Teeth Grinding - No Boil - Extra Strong

I brux so loudly that I wake my partner often. I also have TMJ. So these are a GODSEND!!!! Many decades ago I had a VERY expensive one made by a doctor. I've had another doctor try to give me one that is like a football player's mouth guard. I GAG! I spit them out at night. I can't wear them! The Splintek is SO much more comfortable. I gave it a 4 for comfort because there is a spot where it rubs the gums a bit... but it's worth it to me! I've also had it embedded in the inside of my cheeks in the morning. I think that's my fault from whatever I'm doing with my mouth at night and so I won't blame the product.I got one of these when they first came out and had only one option. It was GREAT for MANY years. It never broke nor did I bite through, but it did wear down after 10+ years. When they started selling them in the stores, I went ahead and bought another at a retail store. It promised to last longer. I really hate it. It's Splintek also, but the things between the teeth are SO HARD that they made my teeth hurt in the morning. There was no give. So I ordered this one that promises "comfort" and I love it! I love that it's adjustable. I love that it doesn't make me gag. I love that it protects my teeth from my grinding. I love that I don't have headaches in the morning when I wear it because it protects me jaw from all of the pressure from the grinding. I love that it helps "train" the muscles to keep a bit of distance between my teeth. I also have a bad habit of biting my lips, especially while in the car. So I love that I can wear this and it keeps me from biting. After some time I heal and will stop, but anytime stress picks back up I can use this to re-break that bad habit. For ME... this is a must-have and this one works the best.

Love this!!! I have used several night guards, and this is by far the best!! Don't wait just buy it. I now own several one for my suitcase, one for our camper and one for home. Use straight out of the package and is beyond comfortable, not needing to mold to your teeth. Fit perfectly and for the cost it's the best value I have seen. Talk about durable, my original is a year old and still works perfectly fine. Cleaning is easy just place in a bowl with some denture cleaner and it will do the work for you.

When I start to fall asleep, my jaw suddenly and randomly slams shut so I need a mouthguard to protect my teeth. I used this guard for a couple months and my TMJ began to hurt more and more every day. I finally went to my dentist to have my jaw looked at and he told me that I should try sleeping without this night guard. I slept without the night guard and my jaw pain got better within a week, though my jaw did continue to slam shut. My dentist has since made me a prescription mouthguard and I haven’t had TMJ pain since.

Through trial and error, I ended up using all four versions of the SleepRight dental guards. Splin-Tek's website provides minimal guidance, so here are my findings:Select-Comfort is the least expensive version. The bite pads adjust forwards and backwards but do not pivot. The bite pads are somewhat soft though not flimsy. If you do not need to use a dental guard frequently, this might be a good option. The pivoting bite pads provide significantly better comfort, though.Dura-Comfort guards fit larger than the other three versions. I did not know this until I found it did not work for me. The bite pads are slightly thicker and supposedly more durable. This guard has large "wings" that extend over the top of the gum to hold them in better. I found the wings were too large and dug into my gums and cheeks. This is probably the best version for those with larger mouths.Secure-Comfort guards have bite pads that are similar, perhaps slightly more durable than the Ultra-Comfort. This guard uses smaller wings when compared to the Dura-Comfort. I found the wings tended to catch my cheeks between the wing and gum. This guard wears similarly to something between the Select-Comfort and the Ultra-Comfort guard. It works well with my medium-sized mouth and was reasonably comfortable.Ultra-Comfort guards have no wings but the bite pads do swivel. The bite pads are more durable than the Select-Comfort and are similar to the Secure-Comfort bite pads, perhaps ever-so slightly less durable. I find this guard works best for me, but the sides can sometimes cut into my cheeks and the bite pads do not always stay secure—but their lower profile (when compared to the Dura- and Secure-Comfort guards) works better for me. The strap that goes around the front seems similar to the Secure-Comfort guard.NOTE: Keep that paper instruction manual and the original box! It has a form for exchange or refund. Splin-Tek WILL exchange your guard if it does not fit well! I threw mine out the first two times and could have saved the cost of buying them.Tip: Use a toothbrush (without toothpaste) to quickly clean off your guard after removing it and before storing it. Be sure to brush off the front loop, too. This extends the life of the guard significantly. I add toothpaste to clean the guard once each week. The guard does not yellow as quickly and it does not get as stinky either.These are all very good dental guards. I tend to grind my back molars—this might help you understand how the guards work for me. A custom-fit guard is the ultimate solution, but I have used both custom-fit and generic guards (including the ones which are heated up and then fitted) and these SleepRight mouth guards are the best cost/performance solution I have found.Good luck finding the right guard for you!

I recommend this as a stand in until your actual dentist appointment to get an actual mouth/bite/night guard and I even used ortho wax on the outside so that it wouldn't scratch the sides of the inside of my mouth but for the mouth pain while waiting for the dentist appt. I definitely recommend it.

This product is AMAZING.. It's super comfortable has different adjustments to fit perfect size in your mouth. You don't have heat up with warm water to shape out. I sleep without any issues with this product in my mouth throughout the night.

this is a much much better night guard for me. Now try adding the Invisalign retainers in addition to wearing them, I now have a mouth full. But I do like the guard I purchased. HOWEVER, initially I thought this was for a small kid. But when I returned the first one and ordered this particular one, I see it is for adults.
