The SleepRight Dental Guard was recommended by a The Motley Fool messageboard poster over the dentist’s lab-made one. She pointed out that our dental guard is less bulky and way more affordable than the dentist made guards, though pets are equally in love with our dental guards. We would recommend you keep our dental guard in its case for safe keeping away from animals.

A recent study released in Head & Face Medicine shows that people with teeth grinding activities during sleep tend to be more stressed at work and in their daily life. It’s suggested that this may influence their physical state and cause them to grind their teeth at night. These people also seem to deal with stress negatively and this might increase their likelihood of grinding. For more information on this study visit http://www.head-face-med.com/content/6/1/2
“Yesterday, I received the Slim-Comfort Dental Guard. I used it last night, and it was wonderful! Just as advertised, it kept my mouth relaxed, prevented clamping, and was completely comfortable. I am a very happy customer! Thanks for all your help.”

I recently stumbled across this review from someone in the UK. I know it’s kind of dated but she brings up some good issues to address.
Her review is here:

She says the following, “…after a week or so of wearing the splint I began to find that the band was irritating my lower gum and my boyfriend relayed that he saw me take the guard out during sleep. I cannot be sure whether this was due to my lack of ability in fitting the guard properly or whether it was simply repeated wear that had led to the raw feeling, however, I began wearing the guard less and less.”
For instances where gum irritation may occur because of the thermal band, we usually recommend creating a barrier between your gums and the band using oral agents like Anbesol or Carmex.
It could also be that some people have especially small mouths and the Dura-Comfort and Secure-Comfort aren’t going to fit properly. For those people we usually recommend the Slim-Comfort in the green box:
We also recommend wearing the product for a few nights just to get accustomed to it. That may be hard advice to follow, but there’s always an adjustment period regarding personal products.
