“Dear Sirs,
I have recently tried your product SleepRight Dental Guard. For years I have worn a hard bite splint at night but two years ago I had some more extensive dental work done and the splint no longer fit. Since I was having some problems again I thought I would try your product. It works very well and I am glad to have found it.”

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.

Here’s a few exercises that may help relieve the pressure and jaw pain associated with TMJ:
- For the first TMJ exercise to relieve pain; sit comfortably on a chair with a strong back rest. Try placing your tongue on the roof of the mouth. Try to open your mouth with your tongue still in the same position; breathe in slowly for a few seconds and breathe out for a few. Close your mouth. Repeat this exercise 10 times for TMJ disorder.
- TMJ disorder creates an unwanted shifting of the jaw to one side. People suffering from TMJ disorder suffer from deviated jaws. It means when they open their jaws; the jaw shifts to one side. Stand in front of your bathroom mirror. Have a close look at your jaw, see on which side it is shifted. Try and open your mouth straight. This would require a lot of efforts from the muscles of the damaged side. Open and close your mouth correctly 10 times and take a breather. Repeat 3 sets of 10 each. Do these 3 sets 5 times a day.
- Press your fist against the damaged side of the jaw below the TMJ. Maintain a low force. Hold for 10 seconds and release. Repeat this 3 times for TMJ pain treatment on both the sides of the jaw. Learn TMJ treatment options.
- This is a jaw exercise for TMJ disorder. Open your mouth as wide as you can. Put your fist on your chin and push to open it more wider. It will hurt a little, but it’s like a massage. Hold this position for 20 seconds. Repeat this TMJ exercise 5 times in a day.
- Open your mouth wide and try to move the jaw to the right side as more as you can. With your fingers push your jaw to the right side even more. This slight pull would cause a repair movement in the jaws. Hold this for 20 seconds. Do this exercise 4 times a day.

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

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:
http://www.kissandmakeup.tv/2009/04/product_review_97.html
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.
