Reazeal Mouth Guard Dental Guard - Pack of 8 - New Upgraded Anti Grinding Dental Night Guard, Stops Bruxism & Eliminates Teeth Clenching

When dentist explained that my jaw pain was caused by grinding my teeth, I didn't fully understand how that could be. I was skeptical and shocked when told it would cost several hundred dollars for a plastic guard that I had to wear each night. Fast forward: after hours of watching YouTube videos, reading articles on jaw pain,and reading Amazon reviews of tooth guard options, I am now seeing a really talented physical therapist, and wear a plastic Dental Guard tooth guard over my upper row of teeth every night, and after three weeks the pain is beginning to diminish.The biggest challenge with mouthpieces is to have them strong enough so that they are not ripped apart by the pressure of grinding teeth yet be soft enough so that they are comfortable. I find that the dentist-provided guards are too heavy and I tend to spit them out while asleep. Dental Guard has somehow gotten the right combination of durability and comfort. I tried one low-cost drug store option that fell apart after two days.The second challenge is to get the mouthpiece to fit comfortably within different mouth shapes. I now understand why people often go to a dentist to get the fit right: they have lots of neat tools to trim the edges.I trashed the first Dental Guard while learning how to get a really good fit that did not irritate my gums or the sides of my mouth, but the second Dental Guard has lasted three weeks so far and is still in great shape. With 8 in a box, I think it is a very fair price, and I expect the box to last at least 6 months.Trick one: After heating the mouthpiece in hot water, place it over the upper teeth, and suck in to pull the mouthpiece against your teeth, use the tip of your index finger and firmly push upward along the entire bottom and side edge of EACH tooth. That finger pressure along EVERY tooth surface makes a big difference. I especially like that if the Dental Guard does not quite feel right, even a day or two later, you just put it back in hot water and do the fitting again.Trick two: I find that there is usually one or two spots along the upper edge that need to be trimmed so as to not rub the gums or side of mouth. I tried cooking sheers, nail file, a Dremlo motor tool, and different grades of sandpaper. The Dremlo worked great, but for my travel kit I have a good quality emery board and a small piece of 120 grit sandpaper. After the initial formation, put the guard in ice cold water to really firm it up; dry it off, and then use a small piece of 120 grit sandpaper or good emery board to to trim along the upper edge of the guard at any place that rubs against the inside of mouth or gums. Really easy, whole process takes less than 5 minutes.

I have worked in the dental field for 30+ years. My husband and I both wear mouth guards when sleeping We both had lab-fabricated mouth guards until recently when my husband went camping and he left his mouth guard out in the tent and out dog chewed it up! And Beware! this is a common occurrence! So, if you have a pet... always store your mouth guard somewhere safe when not in use. Anyways... he now needed a new one. These professionally made are around $400.00+ where were live. So I researched on-line options to make them myself. When I saw the reviews for this product and the price I thought I would start here and if it didn't work out I would move on to another product... and have less than $20.00 invested. However, we are more that happy with this product. The price is wonderful, the material is awesome and the instructions were helpful. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to make sure when you boil the material that you don't over or under heat it.. it really needs to be the perfect temp in order to get the right results we found.. and IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to get the best fit.. that when placing the material in your mouth for molding that you suck in cheeks, place your tongue on the palate and press as hard as you can against the inside material by roof of mouth and inside of teeth and press on the out side of your cheeks against the material that is laying against the front of your teeth and gums. You may have quite a bit of extra material after done. I used small curved scissors to trim the mouth guard.. start with trimming conservatively as you can always trim more until you get the fit that is right for you.Ideally, grinding/bruxing mouth guards should be made of a harder material. But this material will work well for saving your teeth if you are an aggressive grinder.. it just may refer a bit of discomfort to your TMJ. But if you can't afford the professional lab-fabricated guards at $400.00 +... These will be a god send!You get 4 larger ones and 4 smaller ones in the package. I would say most adults would use the larger size ones... and if your upper arch is petite or a child.. the smaller ones would work for you. So once you find the right size.. you have a couple attempts to get it right! lol. .. all in all.. VERY HAPPY.

So the directions say to drop the mouthguard into boiling water and when it starts to curl, pull it out. I followed the directions exactly...and the mouthguard started to melt into the pot. I know that sounds bad, but it came right off, so no lasting harm done. The downside was that it ruined the first mouthguard because, in trying to scrape it off the bottom of the pot, it squished together into a ball. Okay, so round one failed, but thankfully, it came with a ton of mouth guards.Trial #2, I left the mouthguard on the wooden spoon and mostly submerged the mouth guard in boiling water. When it started to curl, I lifted it out, and it worked just fine. It molded well to my teeth, and they give you directions on how to trim (if you have a tiny mouth/jaw like I do).When I tried to use other mouth guards in the past (that weren't stupid expensive from the dentist), I would always find them on the floor or in my bed the next morning--gross. I don't know if I took it out in my sleep or if they fell out. But! I make it through the entire night with this one in, and I haven't ground my way through it yet in my sleep, so that's also a plus. Overall, I'm glad I got it. Just be careful on that first round when you go to put the mouth guard into boiling water, and you'll be set :)

Es fácil de usar, llegó en excelentes condiciones, llegó mucho más rápido de lo esperado y los volvería a comprar cuando tenga que reemplazarlos.
