My bad gums has caused 2 bottom teeth to be loose. Has anyone had this and have the Periactil tighten loose teeth?

Yes, my wife's had some episodes with gingivitis where her teeth would be very loose, and after using this on a regular basis for a week or so, her gums tightened up tremendously. I've also had a couple of times where I'd gotten an cavity and it would cause an abcess to appear. With using it for 2-3 days, the infection was entirely gone.

Since I replaced the bottom bracket with a sealed cartridge, I've had a similar problem. The looseness is on the right side at the bolt closest to the bottom bracket. Although the problems is with the bolt on the right side, that makes the pedal on the left feel loose.But I recently replaced the wedge pins and it seems better now. I may have had the pin facing the wrong direction. If you put in all the pins facing the front, half of them will be backwards!

It seems others had better results than I had. I loved my pillow - but after only two months the filling seemed to collapse and shift in the smaller neck roll which is the part of the pillow where my neck rested. I contacted the company and they sent out a replacement. I've only had my replacement for about three weeks and I'm hoping for better results.

I did have a little of an impression from my bottom teeth. What seems to hold it in place is the mild around the front teeth and the molding on the roof of your mouth. The first time it fit perfectly after 2 attempts at molding but the last one I purchased, my second, I had a hard time getting a really great fit even after 3 tries. I decided to just leave it, it doesn't fall out but can be easily removed with just my tongue, packaging says it should be more difficult to remove than that. Anyhow, I didn't want to keep messing with it because I was afraid to ruin it And I haven't had it fall out on me so far.

It depends on how old the original guard is. As you age, your teeth do shift forward. I've had one night guard made through the dentist simply no longer fit once I stopped using it for a year and it no longer would fit comfortably and fall out at night. The only option was a new one. If these soft dental guards are flexible, perhaps not an issue, but I'm old school with the hard acrylic and known that one's bite does change over time...

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.

This is for your top teeth, which is enough. Don't know if there is such thing for bottom teeth, and if there were - you wouldn't want to wear them at the same time.When in your mouth, your bottom teeth just slide on the mouth piece on the upper teeth.

Oh and maybe like once every other month for use...if your teeth arent super yellow once every couple months should be fine. I had a yellowing tooth on my bottom row (slightly crooked on the bottom) its all white now.

I have had dentist made night guards. When my dogs chewed my recently made guard, I did the do your own. I would try the Dentek products first. Be sure to read the directions several times before doing. It might take a couple times before it fits right. Be sure to talk to your dentist, first.

I don't recommend these as they are too thick and have completely changed my bite. My dentist now has to do extensive work in order to get my teeth to meet properly again. Its worth getting a custom one from your dentist.

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.

That's a very good question and deserves a valid answer. I would recommend asking at: http://www.periactil.com/info/Contact_Us They will be able to supply you with an answer.

Yes, Cushion Grip will keep lower dentures in place. It makes them fit tighter.

I bought a Rotadent Plus from my Dentist. It stopped working and I returned. I could not get a response from them and they did not send original or replacement back. I informed my dentist and the dentist office tried to get hold of their rep. They did not get response from rep and they stopped selling the product.Good Luck

I grind my front teeth as well, and the gap these appliances create at the back is sufficient to keep that from happening. However, I can definitely tell when it's time for me to throw away an old guard and use a new one because my front teeth will start touching if I try to get more than three nights out of a single mouth guard.

My teeth are tight at the top; when I use regular floss, I break it frequently. The Glide ribbon floss breaks also although less often. My dental hygienist has the same trouble. My dentist pointed me to the Gum Soft Picks and they're much better. The gap between most teeth widens toward the gum and that's where the payload of food particles and plaque accrue most. I still use Glide floss once a week on instruction from my dental hygienist but the Soft Picks are my go-to option. I had also tried the brushpicks when the Gum Soft Picks were out of stock at my source store. I wasn't satisfied by the brushpick's effectiveness for really clearing the gaps--which is also a misgiving about floss.
