Mouth Guard for Clenching Teeth (4 Piece Set)

EXTREMELY GOOD PRODUCT!!

These are so easy to mold and use. I use them at night, so I don't grit my teeth. This brand is sturdy, I bite through the first brand I tried. I will definitely buy these again.

It fits good but the material is very thick which makes hard to keep the mouth closed.

The process for using it was streamlined and easy to follow, but It was extremely uncomfortable and painful after a couple nights of using it. But I've been told that's normal. If you can handle it, the price for these are really fair and I'd go for it. It's very thick, too and you can choke on the sides of it easily.

I ordered mouth guards from two different companies. The DAV by far was better. Instructions were clear. The mouth guard fits perfectly and is quite comfortable. The trick is to let the boiling water cool for a bit and do use a slatted wooden spoon to pick it up out of the water. My other brand said to use a fork and the fork totally misshaped the guard. With the DAV I didn't have a thermometer so I guessed on the water temp after letting it cool from a boil. 15 seconds in the water was perfect - you don't want it to melt. Popped it in my mouth and pushed my around my gums through my skin to make the perfect fit. Took it out and ran it under cold water. I'd rather start with this than pay my dentist $1800 for a digital imprint of my mouth and all the bruhaha that goes along with it $$$$$ Don't know how long it will last - I guess that all depends on how hard one grinds their teeth. Nice carrying case and extra guards too.

I use leather needles and thread (also purchased from Amazon) to sew the bottom one further forward than the top one. For my first trial I used a regular needle and dental floss.To avoid snoring surgery, a device to keep the jaw forward is what the Ear Nose and Throat Otolaryngologist will prescribe for you if you snore: such a device holds your jaw farther forward to keep your tongue from vibrating in your throat. Through the doctor, $300. I tried buying one at CVS for $40 but it went too far back along my molars which made me gag. With these I can trim them so only the front teeth are engaged.To be clear: this product is not designed to stop snoring. You can build a snore-reducing device yourself by sewing the top and bottom together.When you sew together it is trial and error so buy a dozen to experiment with. The pieces you cut off can be used as shims/spacers to also keep your mouth open for more oxygen as you sleep. I am on my third set. My wife is pleased.The first one I built took me four hours. Second one two hours. Third one thirty minutes.This brand works well. You don't need to heat or mold at all. For my first device I bought another brand. All plastic mouth guards will work. I like this one because you can get a two-pack or an eight-pack.

Here's the thing. If you're like me, scrolling through Amazon looking for a night guard, you're reading reviews, and looking for the best value and most effective device. This one is a great price, and comes with everything a lot of these kits come with....EXCEPT really good instructions. The little paper that comes with it is just the bare minimum of what they can get away with, without providing any instructions at all. I watched a few youtube videos, read some instructions for other kits, but the two guards I got out of this one just don't quite work for me. I consider this purchase a waste of money, and I just received the second kit today from another brand. Inside they provide two heavy duty guards, and 4 of the standard ones. They also provide a qr code that takes you to an instructional video. And the little pamphlet that comes with it has indepth instructions on how to use the kit.So while this one may work for some just fine, my personal experience is to say skip over this one, and go to another - one that will provide more than a few guards and a tiny short little insert that just doesn't give you much in the way of how to use it.

So...followed the instructions implicitly. Heated the water in the microwave to 180F. Dropped in the bite guard and let it sit 12 seconds. When I went to pick it up with the chopstix it was so soft the edges collapsed and stuck to itself like a piece of gum. I pried it back apart and popped it in my mouth, attempting to form it. By this time it had cooled off quite a bit and was too firm so it formed on one edge but not where I'd handled it to pry it apart. I tossed it back in the water for about 8 seconds to "re-soften" it and popped it in my mouth. This sort of worked....but I still ended up with a big lump on one side back at the molars I was sure would give me some kind of weird headache since it was only one the one side.I didn't realize there were 2 sizes, so there's only a pair in adult and a pair in kid size. I can't use the kid size so that's 50% of the package basically wasted. And...I'd just destroyed one adult. So....I tried the process again hoping maybe the kid size would stretch/form enough to be usable. This time...in the water for a little less time, carefully removed with chopstix. Being much smaller I popped it in my mouth and it ended up crooked since it doesn't extend all the way to my back teeth. Once it had cooled I realized it was kind of turned to one side. Since it was crooked and too small....right into the trash.3rd attempt....into the water 10 seconds, carefully removed with chopstix. Insert kind of stuck to the paper towel but not terribly. Into my mouth and formed nicely. I haven't tried this for a night yet so I'll update the review once I actually have a chance to try it.
