Hello, I was wondering, what if I have a gap between lower teeth (I had my molar tooth extracted ), how will the tray fit? Since I have exposed gum.

Hello, The tray would fit good. The mold should show where the space is located and the lab tech will be able to work around that for you. If you would like to contact us direct for more info, please feel free to do so. :-) Whiter Smile Labs

Yes. I tried on the lower denture. I'm new at this so my swelling is going down daily. It helps in that it is soft and so any bone fragments from the extractions are more comfortable and I can now keep them in without being in constant pain but as far as holding them in. No that doesn't happen.

I got mine for the bottom, since I figured it would fit snugger longer as I have a missing tooth up top and I clamp down so very hard and grind, don't see that it would make that much difference, just a preference for me.

I wish I had an answer for you. A bigger tray may help???Take Care and good luck

Hello, D. Milllwood offered some good advice! Thank you for that! Just to add, most place the pink tip on the syringe by twisting the cap off, and then twisting the tip on... Then depending on the style of trays you are using, if they are real snug, place a thin line along the front, making sure not to use to much so that it does not get on the gums, also remember that the gel is concentrated so more is not better.. Most find that each tooth cavity of the tray should have less than 1/4 of the size of a pea, just a dab. You can start with a little bit and always add a bit more.

i have a small mouth and it's too big for me. it fits around my teeth fine and i normally wear it on top, but the strap connecting the two bite plates rests at the very top of my gums, way way above the teeth. i still like it better than other OTC options

I have a molded tray from my dentist. A tray is needed. About 3 applications from each tube.

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!

I can't say what's "normal" because I have the same issue after roughly the same time of use. It's very bulky. I'm almost to the point of concluding that the thickness of the separate pieces, combined, cause my teeth to be too far out of alignment for comfort. The longer I use it, the less I like it. I'm about ready to try an athletic mouthpiece, and simply align my teeth to the same location as with this "adjustable" guard, when I do the first heat-compression.

It seems that it would work anywhere that your dentures or partials are loose or ill fitting. Of course, this is only a temporary measure until you can have a dentist appointment.

Yes you do need a tray but it's best to have your dentist make one from a mold of your own teeth so it fits correctly. I get two uses from each syringe for both top and bottom.

Yes, should not be a problem, just prevents teeth on teeth contact, no grinding

If the dental work changes the shape of your mouth or position of your teeth - then yes you will have ro buy a new one. This is guard is not one that you can boil and reshape. They are custom made to fit exactly.

I did not try this on partialas I had full dentures. I don't see why it would not at least help as it does improve comfort by providing a cushion between the device and your gum tissue where the two meet.

i try to put in the bottom front of tray then suck the tray as close to my teeth. you my have to cut a small "V" in the middle of the front tray or any place it gets on your gums. i just use the top tray, it works great

They cover like dental trays.... they fit the mouth similar to a football guard. Mine cover back to my molars, if this helps.

What I did was leave little wings off of the temp tooth and then pressed them into the depressions of the teeth next to the missing tooth and especially at the bottom to get into the little impressions there. When it cooled I had a temp tooth that actually snaps into place. Fits and feels good and most of all I can go out and eat in public. Thanks again Temp Tooth.
