Why Should I try this? Wouldn't my dentist fitting this to my mouth be a better fit?

We appreciate your question. QUALITY: the night guards offered by dentists are made by dental labs. Price wise: dentists charge $300 to $1000 for a custom night guard, and we only charge a fraction of that. FITTING: The impression kit we ship to our customers include 3 sizes of mouth trays AND a DETAILED, EASY TO FOLLOW instruction. The night guard we make is from EXACT FABRICATED MOLD of our customers' teeth impression. So it should always FIT when the impression is taken right. IMPRESSION TAKING: It is VERY EASY to take impression at the convenience of your home, and it only takes about 10 minutes or less. We also have a youtube video prepared for our customers. BUT: 1 out of 25 customers "CANNOT" take impression ACCURATELY. Most cases, it is because they WOULD NOT follow our instruction. Money Back Guarantee: if the impression we receive is not usable in any way (it doesn't matter why), we provide 2 options: 1, send out another impression kit; 2, full refund, no question asked. If somehow you are not satisfied with the night guard received after trying out for a few nights, contact us. We will initiate return and refund.

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.

I'm guessing you have a unique mouth or bite, so not certain if this will work or not. One benefit of the DenTek is the adjustability. I'm able to adjust it to were it's comfy to where it's holding my mouth too far open. While too far open isn't the most comfy, it might work to prevent your front teeth from grinding.

I don't even think that's possible. It's not that type of mold .... It's plastic like and it secures it around your teeth that's all

Hello Anas,Somebody already answered your question, but I would like to add that you should be careful when using the "floss action" head. It works great, but can push back the gum line if you overdo it. I like to alternate between the different heads so that I don't use the same one all the time.Enjoy!

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

Look at the you tube, it will help you get right technique. I love mine. Are you small mouthed, sounds silly, but everyone's mouth is not the same size, including the opening.

No, but maybe. This product normally needs the entire shell to work. You would have problems with the teeth you use not matching up in size/color. And you would have to be clever about how to make it work. You would need to add just the right amount of our fitting material to have it butt up to neighboring teeth and snap in like the male portion of a snap fastener. If you try, remember it is easier to add fitting material than take it away. If you buy direct, and it doesn't work, you can send it back for a $19.95 refund.

Good question, because I ordered it thinking it would fit on a wide mouth, and it does NOT. :( Regular.

I wouldn't count on it. This supposedly is designed as an after-market item for use with the "Sonic Complete," an earlier Oral-B model. It's not that great a fit even for that model.

I believe you would be disappointed in using this product for that particular application. If you had the same tools available as a dentist (cleaners, forced air, and curing tools), I'm sure you would then have no problem with it bonding to your bridge after application. Having the area perfectly clean and perfectly dry is paramount I believe. Unfortunately, those conditions are hard to achieve if you are not in a dentist's setting. I would look for a product that would bond to a somewhat moist surface and would also bond to a super-hard finish. Hope this information helps you on your decision making process.

I have tried to on my own but gave up broken teeth need more than one person. But this can be used to help to fill a bit, it is best used for filling replacement if mixed right. I have use this as a filling on a broken tooth to stop it braking on a tooth with a crack in it to stop it braking anymore but if you have a dedicate partner you trust then i cant see any problem with additional assistance. We all need help sometimes or back to the dentist for a rebuild. Hope this helps?

If you value your teeth and brain cells I'd say yes! I had one of those simple ones for a few months and I can tell you: the comfort and ease of breathing is way better with this and the concussive impact when you get even a mild hit is reduced much better with a high quality mouthguard. also, with the ridge for the bottom teeth the jaw is protected a bit better.

No, I have recommend this to a friend just today. Both my daughter and myself have been using it for a long time. I originally got it because a dentist screwed up my plate with an "office reline." Needless to say I never will return to that dentist. I have had dentures since I was 8 years old, and this is great.

Thanks for the help, will have to measure between teeth, but think it will work.

This model is not as bulky as the original model...but "bulky" is 'specious' (as bulky to one mouth may not be to another mouth). The question in my mind are: a) is there enough of it for your teeth to "seat" into the material, so it sticks to your upper teeth at night when you may be chewing, grinding, and so on...so that it stays put. I have tried several other brands, which have a very minimal strip for the back teeth, and practically a small ribbon of plastic around the front teeth, and they have not seated properly (after boiling for 1 minute, then dropping into cold water, then immediately into your mouth to make the impression). It felt dangerous to me to have something flipping around inside my mouth--what if I started to swallow it?!!And if it won't stay put, it does you no good whatsoever. This model has softish material and your teeth go into it, and it makes a perfect impression of your teeth. So it fits like a glove. The band across the front is strong, but as minimal as they could make it, and still do the job. You can cut this down with sharp scissors, if it extends too far back in your mouth (beyond your back teeth). The original model told you to do that--I don't know whether the instructions for this model do or not, but it is easily done. Just pare away small bits until you get where you need to be--but don't be incautious and whack too much off at one time--it won't grow back :&gt;) I'd think a small mouth would mean, in this model, that your troubles would only be with the front to back measurement, and that can be whacked off at each end. Since the material allows your teeth to sink down into it, your jaw is not held open at all.

I think it may be too big. It even feels big for my mouth and I am 50. Perhaps you can check the over the counter mouthguards they sell for young athletes. Good luck.
