Oral-B Nighttime Dental Guard, Less Than 3-Minutes for Custom Teeth Grinding Protection with Scope Mint Flavor

First Bite Guard & I’m Pleased!
I’ve been struggling with a sore tooth that my dentist has attributed (correctly, I believe) to grinding my teeth at times at night, and she recommended a night guard. After reading all the reviews, I decided on this one, and am really pleased. It took a couple of times to properly heat and fit the guard, and I was a little concerned because it didn’t fit tightly when I went to bed last night, but apparently the biting I did last night helped to seal it. It is soft and I didn’t struggle with it at all overnight. It does seem to be small – my mouth is small – so it is perfect for me, but if you have a bigger mouth it might take some work to adjust it – not sure. Can highly recommend!

Follow the directions
This product works exactly as explained in the directions provided. My dentist said I grind my teeth and a night guard would prevent me from wearing down my teeth. My insurance wouldn’t cover it even though it is medically necessary and I thought I could make one myself for cheaper. I can already tell it’s working because the bite marks from tooth grinding I had on the inside of my mouth are almost gone completely. I suggest before attempting to make the night guard you read the instructions fully then watch videos on how other people did it.I did do some research and these are some things I came across that would be helpful when making the night guard and using it:- It is not suppose to cover all your back teeth because the area it covers prevents your back teeth from touching.- most teeth grinding happens at night, if you grind your teeth then it needs to be worn every night- if your microwave is low wattage you may need to heat the guard up longer.- after it’s made you can reheat it up in the microwave and bite into it again if it doesn’t fit correctly or doesn’t feel comfortable. The guard is soft and flexible so it should fit snug but not tight. (If you have acid reflux and notice it is getting worse since the night guard then you need to redo the guard).- it will take a few nights of wearing it for your brain to adjust to having it in your mouth, so don’t worry if you notice things like increase saliva, more grinding, headaches or other symptoms. I personally had more saliva and I swallowed some air (causing me to be gassy) that resolved after a few days. I didn’t notice any changes in my preexisting acid reflux.- after you make the guard be careful removing the guard from the green tray because the green tray is thin and very easy to crack. I put it in a bucket of ice water and I used a piece of plastic floss to gently ease the guard out of the green tray.- don’t clean the guard with tooth paste! some types of tooth paste may damage the guard. The best way to care for it is just to rinse it with cold water (hot water will deform it) and dry it with a paper towel or cloth, then store it in the white container it came with.That’s all I have noticed so far with the guard, if anything changes I will update. Everything is going well with it and I do recommend it. It should be one size fits all but everyone’s mouth is different. The price is fair so I think it is worth buying it, even if it doesn’t fit right to you at least you have the experience of making the guard to know how to redo it or know how to chose another one.

This Oral B retainer is very easy to modeling. Previous I use $400 dental retainer for 4 years. You can see it nearly broken. Every time I need put in warm water and put in mouth. it is hard for dental retainer. Oral B retainer is much good smelling and softer than dental retainer. It doesn’t need every time put in warm water before wearing. It is right size for me too, I follow instruction, put in mouth first to see feeling. Then put all white case with green retainer container into water of bowl. retainer case will fill with water. Then put in Microwave 1 minute then take out container , empty water. Take out retainer, put in month with green container for 2 minutes. Then take out for cooling 30 minutes with green contrainer.Use tiny stick to move green contain from oral retainer, then done. Very comfortable to wear , better then dental one (very hard, smelling even I use retainer cleaning pill every two weeks) ; Price is big different. I would lile recommend every one use it instead dental one which you can see dental retainer $400 (when new dental retainer is transpant color, but still hard, plastical smelling). I also buy cheaper night guard for emergency use. BUT I like Oral retainer it is very comfortable, it solve my grinding problem at night.

I personally found it uncomfortable to wear

Was hesitant to try but since it’s only a fraction of the price of a custom make piece, so gave it a try. Its really simple mould and easy to get used to. Will be getting another as a spare.
