This there a warranty on the product? How long is it guaranteed to last? How long does this guard typically last if worn nightly w/medium grinding?

i have had my guard since may, 2013. based on my experience, i have not had any trouble with my soft guard. i do not know of any warranty, but if you have problems, email the sales dept., and they are extremely helpful. there are three different strengths; one is a soft material & the other two are a harder material. as i recall, they estimated the soft guard usually lasts 1-2 years & the two stronger guards last 3-5 years. i have been very happy with my night guard. i wear it always for naps as well as every night. this has kept me from having tremendous pains around my ears. this company is very accommodating, and they really want to please you. they will work with you should any problem arise. you can problem email the sales dept., and speak to joe. he is very informative. i hope i have helped you in some way. lucy barnette

Hello,Thanks for contacting us. We do have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Our 30 day guarantee starts from when you receive the guard and it can be returned for any reason during that time. We do stand behind our product and service and work with our customers. This guard is very durable and has an average lifespan of 3 years but for lighter to medium teeth grinding and clenching it can last several years longer. The lifespan is dependent on the degree of teeth grinding and clenching.

I've been using mine for almost a year and it's fine. But I have more problems with clenching rather than grinding.

This is a hard plastic- not like the soft ones you find at the store. My husband grinds worse than I do, so he has that similar problem. So far, he has had zero issues with this guard.

The guard is made of plastic, but stays in place and seems to be very strong. In fact, months after installation & use, one bulb started flickering and giving me trouble, I called KC and after they tried to help me troubleshoot it over the phone, they just sent me a new light with no questions asked. They have a long & reliable warranty. I would say that they are well made and they honor their warranty wonderfully.

I put mine in every night for about a week and a small amount in across the mouth guard. Gently squeeze so that a small amount goes across the front of the guard for each tooth. Works great,,, If you teeth become too sensitive you may skip a day.

I have had mine for a good year and a half of constant wear. Its a little worn down but still going. I would say about 1-2 years of every day wear before replacement

I like the Dentek. It's my favorite mouth guard as you'll probably see in my review for the product. That said, it won't last long if you clench your teeth while grinding because you can bite through it. It's better for people like me who grind side-to-side for some reason. It does take a little practice to boil and bite down in the right place but it is super comfortable for me.

I bruised in the beginning but as I got better, that stopped. So, I hooped as often each day as I could for no more than a minute or so each time. I have emailed the company for some guidance and they have been very helpful. I really like it and can see the difference. Good luck

I would not advise it. This is designed for overnight use for grinding. Using two may cause misalignment and keep your mouth too far open at night. If yours is becoming worn, buy a new one, the price is good.

I'm an adult but my mouth is pretty tiny. I don't think a 12 yr old will have any problem using this. I'm not sure why you'd want to wear it during the day... if clenching is a problem during the day cognitive behavioural therapy would be better since you can *consciously* be aware of it.To those who get months of use out of this you must not really be grinders! I can at most get 4 days use out of one before it becomes too thin/distorted to work. If I push it past that it doesn't stop me from grinding my teeth. I know because my hubby let's me know!

Its funny you should ask, cause I don't recall anyone saying so but alot of the reviewers prob aren't using it the same amount I am though. I am deployed oversea's and use it on my 8 hour shift the entire shift just about. But I could have a defective make, I don't know.

It doesn't come with a standard guard, however, in the grinder manual that's enclosed, a standard type guard is listed as an accessory for purchase separately.

hi there, I see your question actually pertains to our Hard night guard, not this Extra Durable night guard listing.That said, our hard night guard has a hard outer layer and a soft inner layer. The outer hard layer provides durability against grinding and the inner soft layer provides comfort while wearing.Sarah

I have three small dogs, my-son-in-law who lives next door on our farm has the big dogs. I believe he uses his on all but the bull mastiff and doesn't have any problems. I have started using it without the shield basically because the grinding wheel is getting smaller with use and it does a much better job. As we do more sessions the dogs mind it less each time. I do change the batteries before each use and sometimes between dogs. Think I will invest in re-chargeables.

Not that I'm aware of. But if you have the Smart Guard, you might be able to get it replaced. You'd need to read the fine print on their warranty.

Not sure if a smaller guard is even available, but you can remove it if you need to, just make sure that YOU are protected (gloves, safety glasses, and perhaps a leather or heavy apron) from the sparks and the debris that will get thrown off when grinding.

It comes with a guard. If you want to cut, you can put on a cutoff wheel instead of a grinding wheel.

Sorry I have know idea what the warranty is for this tool. I needed it for one project and it worked great. Beyond that I can't comment on longevity. Perhaps another customer could give you that info. For the price I think it was a good deal for the occasional flooring project. I just made sure to add oil with each new clip. I had no jams and no problems with it.
