Is this only for top teeth, or could you use it for bottom instead? I CrossFit & I need something LOW Profile (not embarrassing for female) when I lift.

I see no reason why this product could not be made for lower teeth. To be sure, though, I recommend checking directly with the seller. I bought a teeth retainer from a different Amazon seller, and I know that that seller makes both upper and lower retainers. I only bought an upper retainer from that seller, but I know a lower retainer was also an option. This makes me think the maker of this mouth guard could do lower as well as upper. Hope this helps.

One can take the mold on either top or bottom. Honestly, I don't know why the top arch is always done or shown when I feel that the lower jaw should be the one bearing most of the blunt of the bite. The fixture is very low profile and not very noticeable under normal conditions. Wearing this, or any other mouth piece, would impede normal speech forcing the person to speak "funny" but other than that, it is a very good fixture. I highly recommend it.

This is a very low profile guard. I highly recommend this guard for anyone. It's only for the top teeth I've never seen a guard for bottom teeth. You can't get anymore low profile than this guard.

Hi BradleysMom, I would go to sporting smiles website and call them or email them directly. The trays for me were molded about 12 teeth worth for the top and 14 teeth worth on the on the bottom. It's really the front 4-6 in my opinion that hold the trays in place so I don't see why it wouldn't work. Definitely call just in case though. I hear their customer service is friendly.

They just go on the front of your teeth on the bottom and top. Not on all your teeth though, just the front part. Because you typically don't see the teeth on the sides and towards the back.

Yes - it makes the lower denture fit better and if there is any pain, it pulls the denture away from a sore spot. I love it because it has no taste and fits comfortably. I sometimes cut the two ends down a little to fit better.

Everyone is different, mine held great on top, but I don't thinks there is anything on this earth that will hold the bottom. This stuff is no different than any other denture cream just more expensive...imo

The mold fits on the top teeth and protects both top and bottom. I would think that you the me on the bottom teeth if you wanted to fit the bottom . But I would ask the manufacturer

I have a small mouth too as my dentist tells me. It fits fine. I find that as I grind the mouth guard it spreads a little which is still a good fit for my mouth. I tend to replace mine every other month. The best part is that it is BPA free. BPA raises your estrogen levels which too much causes cancer cells to activate.

I have not tried it without the braces. Its basic use is to protect mouth areas from brace wires and brackets that are causing pain. It starts out soft, then rubberizes a bit. I stick it into the brace to hold it in place. Its a bit like keeping a piece of gum in your mouth. Therefore, It should be used in a non visible place. Unfortunately, front bottom teeth are not an ideal spot.

Hi!, You could send this question to the manufacturer. However, I would not recommend the use for anyone who has braces or any metallic parts inside/outside their upper body especially on the face or close to the face.

I just bought the upper ones. I have never worn the bottom ones. I do however have a retainer I wear on the bottom from after I finished invisalign. I did not wear a bottom guard before my invisalign though.

Yes, the kit will work for either upper OR lower teeth. It comes with two different sized trays depending upon the size of your mouth.

It's a one piece design which goes upper and lower teeth. Initially it was difficult to adjust, your body won't accept but once you get used to it, it was good. Minimized snoring, I still snore but sound drastically reduced. Hope that helps.

It is for how many teeth in the BB there is. Buy the one that will match your BB.

In my opinion it is personal preference. I asked people at my dentist's office about this and that was their opinion, too, i.e., that upper vs. lower didn't matter with respect to functionality (I asked the people that worked at my dentist's rather than the dentist, since my dentist isn't happy about patients using mouth guards that are not purchased through him). My daughter has been using a lower J&S mouth guard, while I have been using an upper J&S guard. We are both happy. The guards are both of them comfortable, and have been protecting against tooth wear, so both are doing what they are supposed to.

Very doubtful. Way too thick and the guard tens to slip around anyway. From the invisalugn users I've known I should think that appliance alone would suffice. Should be okay, not great, when you no longer wear the braces.

No, this is a retainer. It will only hold you teeth in their current position.
