Does the thin strip that goes in the front and seems to lay on the gums irritate one's mouth or ever to tight?
1180946
Not really. I change around usually each night if I feel any gum irritation. I have been wearing for several years.

Not at all. My gums were sore and scratched from the hard plastic guards. After you boil and cut the ends off to fit your mouth, the rounded edges on the ends are gone. There are blood stains are my pillow from the drooling because these guards did not fit correctly. The plackers guard has allowed my gums to heal. I wear the thin strip on my bottom teeth just because it feels more comfortable for me. It took me one night to get accustomed to the new, very-much-smaller mouth guard and it is never tight. I can lay on my stomach with my hand under my mouth or on my side with my hand under my chin and I can't even feel the plastic strip. It stays in place throughout the entire night. Hope this helps.

No. The thin strip is not uncomfortable in my mouth. These night guards are as close to you can get to having nothing in your mouth at all, and still have your teeth protected. It seems impossible to me that these things stay in place in my mouth all night long... but they do!

Hi Janice,I agree with others that have answered you. The guard fits loosely and keeps your tongue from bothering your teeth. So, once you get used to it, and place it in your mouth, you will not remember at a point you are using it and can sleep all night without any problems at all.

I have heard this same thing. It hurt my sisters teeth after a bit. If you have sensitive teeth, then in it will cause pain. It doesn't bother me at all.

For me it does. Because you are biting on the tabs it gives space between your teeth.

Yes, it will keep the teeth spaced apart like a full mouth guard without such a large "footprint" encompassing your mouth.I do find that I sleep with my lips open, so my mouth will often feel...sticky?

I am able to wear both to bed all night long, therefore my results were early. Sometimes, I wear both on the top and sometimes alternate to one on bottom and the other over the upper teeth. I have previously worn an appliance, therefore, did not find it difficult to wear the Angelift strips during sleep,

No it doesn't, it wraps around the bottom portion of the teeth and the flaps sit between the teeth. I'm a real bad grinder and go through the actual pad in about 4/5 months. Saves my teeth big time.

No Very strong damaging to my gums despite following instructions. Gums sore for one week and discolored I sent back and bought crest white strips professional they are improved and stay on teeth very well

It works well in the daytime as well as during sleeping hours. Hold it between your gum and your cheek off to one side.

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:)

Yes this will cover your back teeth. I guess they mention the clenching because the inside of the guard is a little "chewy". It's not a completely hard guard. I clench and it works fine for me.
1398845
Yes. When wearing it, my front teeth are separated. The guard keeps them apart with a piece in the back.

It is just like any other oral b toothbrush. It does not vibrate. The brush head spin clockwise and and anti clock wise. You get more control on the area you want to brush. This might be helpful to the sensitive gums.

Yes, you need to carefully slip it off. It is gripped on tightly to the mouth piece, so be careful and remove it gently.

Yes, it does cover all the upper teeth and the one I bought perfectly. I agree with the other two comments that I have no idea why they would say not to buy if you clench. That's why I bought it and I have had no issues whatsoever. I had never worn one before but was not willing to pay $575.00 for the same thing basically that the dentist recommended me buying from him.

The head of the toothbrush is a normal size as appears in the picture. Different brush heads are available. I don't know what you mean by sensitive gums. However, you can vary the amount of pressure you apply up to the point where it blinks to tell you that you are pushing too hard. There are two speeds to pick from so you should find one of them satisfactory. A certain amount of "vibration" and pressure is required to adequately clean your teeth, of course. I've found it to do a much better job then a manual toothbrush.

Maybe...If you press, rub lightly over the tooth surfaces and hold in place for 10-15 seconds the strip may conform to the irregular surfaces. They seem to hold in place well and even are hard to remove if left in too long. Trays may be a better solution.

There are 2 cushions, one is rubber and this one is a very thin flexible clear plastic with a backing which peals off and is applied to the mouth piece and stays put. And will peal off no problem when it needs to be changed. You need to use one or the other!
