Plackers Grind No More Night Guard, Nighttime Protection for Teeth, BPA Free, Sleep Well, Ready to Wear, Disposable, One Size Fits All, 16 Count

Recently my dentist became concerned about stress cracks from grinding and clenching my teeth at night and recommended I get a custom molded mouth guard. I spent hundreds of dollars buying a guard that never fit properly after several attempts to adjust it. Aside from it not fitting properly having something surrounding my teeth caused a salivary response which caused me to have to constantly swallow excess saliva or feel like I was choking. This is not a pleasant feeling while trying to fall asleep. This is what lead me to this product. Due to its minimal size it doesn't cause this response and does a great job of protecting my teeth. Since using this product my jaw has stopped hurting as well.For a fraction of the cost I was able to achieve a result that a expensive mouth guard could not. For folk on a budget I encourage you to try this product first before committing to a costly mouth guard.

I have spent thousands on dental device from the professional dentists trying to find something that stops me from clenching. They were all the thing that works 90 % of the time. So I shelled out the money. Only to have expensive devices I bit into and was damaging other teeth. While these plackers do not stop me from clenching they are not hard and not damaging my teeth. I wear right through even the strongest hard plastic pro models within a year that were suppose to be the answer and solve the problem. I had a full mouth piece that went around all my top teeth but it hurt all my bottom teeth and started causing nerve pain. The second was a front tooth glide type that your bottom teeth are supposed to slid off ( mine just dug a groove into it thus making it useless.) So was afraid that I would bite through thisplacker and choke. However, I wear it on my bottom teeth (it does sometimes feel uncomfortable between my teeth and the bottom lip and gum if it slides down.) and I also have learned to do face massage and moving my jaw to loosen it up before bed a few times a week and have had great success with this product. I am also managing chronic pain better.I get about a week or two use by rinsing every morning ( depending upon how much I clench) Idodent the teeth guards but have not punctured or bit through one yet. They have never came out of my mouth at night nor have they choked me either! They stay where I place them ( i do have a small mouth).My teeth are definitely less sore than when I dont use anything or with one of the professional guards. I have been using these plackers a couple months now. I will purchase again. I purchased some other devices but so far since this has been working I havent even bothered to try the others. ( it is so nice to find something that is helping for now) My doctors advice if you clench you cant rely just on the device to solve the problem, utilize massage stretching to reduce clenching PT or youtube videos may help. Stress can play a part in clenching and too many doctors focus on this aspect only, when it can also be caused by chronic pain anywhere in the body ( causing physical stress), joint dysfunction of the jaw, teeth alignment and connective tissue disorders, as well as some neck and muscle issues. So getting to the bottom of your clenching is important especially if you do not feel stress is the only reason.Also Chronic pain anywhere in the body can cause fight or flight body response and clenching is one aspect of that response, so finding ways to help your body not feel in danger/pain can have great impact on your clenching. Hope this helps!
