Easy to customize and effective!
I have been a grinder since I was a child. I have had 2 expensive, dentist made mouthpieces for this purpose: one where my bite changed and they needed to make a new one. The second one got thrown out by accident. So it's been a couple years now since I have used one, and a recent trip to the dentist informed me that I have grinded myself into 5k of damage, cracking teeth, loosening fillings, and completely flattening my back teeth now requiring a total bite adjustment. The mouth guard was going to be $900 and not covered by my insurance. I put it off until I woke up the other morning and the one side of my face extending past my ear and covering the whole side of my head was in excruciating pain. I could not even touch my skin or brush that side of my hair without wincing in pain. I found this mouthpiece on Amazon and I decided to give it a shot. I have seen several that appear to be nothing more than repurposed soft mouth whitening trays, and I chose this because it looked like a real mouth guard.  The product arrived containing two blue and white mouth guards, two storage cases, and what looked like a large, empty teabag (for dipping the mouth piece in hot water during the molding process). To mold the trays, you first heat water in a cup or bowl and submerge the mouthpiece in the water for about 12 seconds. You can use the teabag to easily dip it in and pull it out or you can just scoop it out with a spoon. As soon as you remove it from the hot water, quickly dry it and place it in your mouth against your top teeth and then bite down for 15 seconds. Then remove mouth guard and dip in cold water for 20 seconds to lock in the impression. The trays can be remolded again by repeating this process if necessary. They can also be trimmed or shortened with scissors to achieve a better fit. I found this process very easy and the product is very effective for me. I find as with any mouth guard, it takes some getting used to but it is doing its job and no more pain! Would definitely recommend to all of my fellow grinders out there!
