Is this only for top teeth, or could you use it for bottom instead? I CrossFit &amp; 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.

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.

I also have professional upper and lower trays. They are excellent fits and comfortable and very durable. In fact, I wear them every night as I have a "teeth clenching" issue and they solved it. They are over $300 by the time the dentist does the mold and sends it in to have the trays made. I have always used the teeth whitener overnight. The 10% Opalescence didn't to take care of it. But perhaps once you get your teeth whitened, the 10% would work as a periodic maintenance to keep the teeth white.

This is to protect teeth during sports (such as martial arts) not to fix teeth. This product is very soft and used over braces. This is not for orthodontic treatment

I'm not sure if this is what you are seeking. The purpose of this guard is to prevent someone from grinding the top and bottom teeth together. If this is what you need:This does not have a strap. It is supported between the uppers and the lower teeth. If your husband doesn't have lower teeth then this wouldn't work. If he does, it would also protect the lower teeth.

Hi Linda, My husband uses these and he is very satisfied. He has tried other brands only to have them slip out of place and then his dentures slip also. He would recommend them for you to try.

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.

No, but i would think it would work fine, use the side with the larger spacing between teeth.

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

I have lower partials, never tried on them this product. But on top dentures I have not worked with enough to see any positive results. They are not binding material like polygrip or Fixodent.

with the blade teeth on both sides of the foil it's hard to get under your jaw, also the teeth blades on both sides can really irritate your neck. it works best in larger flat areas of your body that slightly curve...it's hard to use it in more angular parts like your face because of the design.

I would ask your dentist...if you have invisalign you should have a more professional guard made...this one blows and hurt my front teeth. I would find one that you have to put in hot water to form to the upper teeth if you are going to straightening your teeth in the process. Hope that helps !

I only use the bottom strips and have noticed that they don't cover ALL the way to your molars. Only cover the very front, approx. 8 teeth. No that's for the bottoms only. By looking at the top strips they are definitely longer and wider.

I have used this for a few years now and I have no problems with it, and it does keep the bottom dentures in, in fact the lower dentures are the only ones I use it on. Love it, but if you decide to buy it look around in different drug stores, because it is way over priced on line.

It looks like your average sports mouth guard - it fits on your top teeth & when moulded, should stay in position. Keep in mind they are quite narrow so if you have a broad mouth bridge, it may not fit 100% although the moulding process does help with this.

It can go on either, not both. They saw many people put it on their top teeth, but I put mine on the bottom and it has worked well.
