Would/does this product stick to a "thermoplastic" material?? I'm having a huge problem with my Invisalign liners cutting up the bottom of my tongue.

I would consult your dentist. I used this product to relieve the pain from the constant scratching on my cheeks. It worked as advertised. I was very pleased. My dentist recommended Gishy goo to me.

It may work. It's worth a try. You will have to wedge it onto the part that's cutting your tongue and see if it stays once it hardens. Each time I get my braces retightened and new wires there is a new issue to deal with and I have used various products to help with discomfort. Gishy goo has been the most useful product because it is malleable and it sticks.

My best guess would be yes. However, it really doesn't stick to anything but itself. I wear traditional metal braces. This works well because your able to press it on, in, and around and sharp point and it forms quite well. In a minute or too when it cures, it stays on almost like a silicone would. Much more durable than the typical wax. The more the product can wrap around & through the better it will hold in place.

If your liners have some rough edges, it may stick. It doesn't stick well to smooth surfaces after it hardens. You may want to try something like Macks silicone ear plugs. It's moldable and stickier. I use Gishy goo, Macks, and wax on different parts of my braces. I have linguals on top and they are very scratchy and bothersome to me, so I need lots of help!

Yes. It is not and adhesive through. You need to know that up front. The product turns into a soft plastic. It makes the teeth fit snug. And they don't move around when you eat. Some people use poly grip or some other adhesive on top top make teeth fit even tighter. I have not. Buy one tube and try it. It does take a while to find what works for you.

HeyI used a rigid pointed tip nail file. Soaked the dentures in warm water. I used vary little because I just wanted a better feel along with my adhesive.It is a trial and error thing but I found I can do better than dentist. Hope it works out, be patient!

I've used both products and prefer ProSoft as it stays softer. Although not as long lasting as the harder PermaSoft it's much more comfortable for my sensitive gums, I reline approximately every 6 motnhs or so. Hard plastic...soft tissue... I don't know how anyone can possibly even wear dentures without a soft liner!

Hello,The impression putty material is not epoxy. It is polyvinyl siloxane which is very safe and very common to use for teeth impressions.

I am not a dentist or a healthcare provider. I am just a regular guy who has used this product and three or four others similar. I would think that this is not normal and probably not good. What may have happened is that when you heated the material up and made your imprint, you may have done so in an unnatural way to your normal bite. This can happen with this type of product, as we think we are racing the clock to make the imprint before the material cools. I suggest you clean the product exceptionally well and repeat the heating and imprint operation. Try to preposition the sliding tabs to where you think you will need your lower jaw before you heat and imprint. This may allow your bite, even with your lower jaw extended a bit, to be more natural and in the correct plane to prevent pressure on your teeth. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will also answer. Good luck.

Yes. When the two compounds combine it becomes a soft pliable putty that you can place on the guard where the high spots are. It will set up to a soft rubber and usually stays put until you peel it off. I used it on a mouth piece with no problems. Just make sure the surface is clean and dry when you put it on.

Hi Linda, My husband uses these and he is very satisfied. He has tried other brands only to have them slip out of place and then his dentures slip also. He would recommend them for you to try.

Hi Irene. I tried to put a strip on the bottom and one on top at the same time and it was terribly uncomfortable and I could not keep the strips from "slipping" around in my mouth so I use one on top and afterwards one on the bottom. You can try it to see if it works for you but it did not for me. Have to use the separately but they work:)

Has anyone tried to use a dental adhesive with temptooth? The reason I ask is that there is some disagreement as to whether or not you can eat with it, and I was thinking if you used a dental adhesive, it would make it more anchored down which would allow for more pressure to be put on the tooth. I'm just wondering if long time users have any input into this question:).

Yes clear invisalign type moulds, not rubber. I can send you a pic via email if you would like.

I have only used this product once and found it too bothersome to use. You have to really put forth an effort to remove the adhesive. I will give it another try though, since I have had my dentures for about a year now.

I happen to also have the annoying permanent retainers on both top and bottom as well and no it does not mess with the glue. When you get the product be sure to read the instructions to form the mouth piece to your moth. It is very easy to do. Also remember your lite isn't going to work unless you open the battery part and get out the clear plastic piece. I love this!

I just did some checking on line when I read this. I read an article on abcactionnews.com that said hygienists said the microbeads are polyethylene and can trap bacteria and cause gum disease. P&G; (Crest) spokesperson said their products would be free of this by March 2016. Also not only is it bad for you, it is bad for the environment. I like this product, but I am not going to buy it until I know for sure it is free of these beads.

No, this one is a little bit more flexible to mold. I think its worth a try. 1st week you may have a little soreness b/c it foreign to your mouth, but after that you should be ok. Check the youtube video on this mouth guard for best results, ok.

Mine sits sort of loosely, so when one went to chew it would come off I suspect. Many regions have dental assistance plans. Look around more widely you may find one? Good luck. This ain't the solution sadly.
