SleepRight Select-Comfort Dental Guard (New Version) - Sleeping Teeth Guard – Mouth Guard to Prevent Teeth Grinding

I've been a teeth grinder + clincher for since I was a child (47 now). I've tried every single mouth guard, from mold at home to expensive dentist ones. I always end up taking them out in my sleep. My dentist has kept telling me to wear one, even for a little bit. I knew the mold at home wasn't an option as they're always so thick. I read reviews on every single one of this brand and the general consensus was this was particular one was the smallest fit (I have a small mouth & it's right in the back). It fit right out of the package, no need to adjust! So far it's stayed in every night & it's comfortable. And after skipping a night I noticed a difference (not for the good). It's a win on this one!

These are the only mouth guards that prevent me from excessive teeth grinding during sleep. I have tried professionally molded versions and OTC versions. These are the perfect thickness, and easy to use. They separate my teeth just enough. Also, because the cost is low, I can toss one every couple of months.

I don't understand how this would stay in place. It's very slippery and whenever I bite down with very little pressure, it slips out of place. I think it's because it's too flexible. While it's very comfortable to wear and easy to use/adjust, it's completely useless to me because my teeth are left touching.

I was under the antiquated idea that I'd have to pay my dentist $250 for him to custom build a device to inhibit my teeth grinding, so I am very pleased that the Sleep Right dental guard works so well at such a low price. My only criticism is that the flexible piece that joins the left & right sides doesn't fit perfectly to my mouth shape. Not a problem, unless you care how you look while you sleep. I bought two more of these to keep in stock.

I am trying different products to help me with my clenching and teeth grinding. I am trying to avoid paying $500 for a mouth guard from the dentist. First I had tried a classic boil and bite mouth guard, which worked well except I’m a total mouth breather at night and it blocked my air flow. This was the next thing I tried. Keep in mind, this is a cheap option and it’s not customized, so I already knew it wouldn’t be totally perfect. It’s definitely small, and the adjustment doesn’t really make it much bigger. I’d say it is just barely big enough to work for me at the biggest adjustment, I’m a woman in my 30s with a somewhat big head/jaw. At first it seemed really flimsy and I felt like there was no way it would stay in place or be comfortable. The instructions say to let it sit in your mouth for a bit so your body temp heats it up and makes it flex. I decided to pop it in and see if it would be comfortable while I was just hanging out in the day time. It definitely got more comfortable after being in my mouth for a big, and seemed to mold to my mouth a little bit. I’m excited to sleep with it tonight to see if it stays all night. Though it’s not perfect, I don’t necessarily regret trying it. A customized mouth guard would likely be more comfortable, but it would be 25x the cost of this product. Worth trying if you’re looking for a budget solution.

When I got this it seemed flimsy and a little uncomfortable with the strap across the front, which made my lips bulge open. But it is incredibly comfortable for sleep. All the boil and bite one’s I’ve purchased before always felt like they were shifting my bite, or two narrow somehow, pushing on the sides of my teeth. Because you don’t mold this one, and it is a little flimsy, you can position it just where you want it and don’t need it perfectly fitted. I do wear it upside down as for me the strap across the front fits better across my top teeth, but it works perfectly fine. Feels nice and cushy compared to others I’ve used.

BITE PLATE IS SMALLER:This is NOT just a softer version of the 4x Ultra Comfort. I bought this hoping to get something a little softer than the "Last 4x Longer" Ultra-comfort and while it is a little softer, the bite plate is smaller which makes it uncomfortable because it makes me feel like I am right on the edge of the plate, like my bite might slip off the bite plate, causing me stress-- not exactly good for getting a good night's sleep.Gum guard goes LOWER and irritates the gums:Also although the rest looks almost the same, the gum-guard feels like it goes lower than the Ultra-comfort so it really annoys my gums. Irritated my gums! Actually it's not even the gums, it irritates the lower lip! Luckily, I like to wear these inverted, but even on the top gums it is noticeable. I won't be buying these again.
