Wouldn't a mouth guard do the same thing?

I don't know. But I do know I continue to see improvement with using these! I really can't believe it! :) Good luck.

That's the 2+2=4 answer I put together. nIf the strips work by just stretching your tissue (& the guy on Shark Tank said your body thinks it has to fill in spaces) then the mouth guard should work. We found one for under $3 at Academy, & I'm just starting to use it. We'll see...

I think it does honestly. The small cut out in the middle of the mouthpiece allows for easier breathing and the guard itself keeps your jaw aligned, therefore I'd think your airway would be consistently open? I used to snore at times, but haven't noticed snoring anymore.

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.

Yes there is a 2+ inch strip of velcro for fitting ease. Haven't tried fitting the mouth guard yet.

In my meaningless opinion, unless the child has a very large mouth, this will not work for them. I have a small mouth and found the guard to be very uncomfortable and have now found that the guard works best as an expensive cat toy.

I'm not really sure how it works, but I think it is because they are much thinner than all the other mouthguards we tried and because they are so thin, you get a much better fit. But you hafta be careful though. because they are easy to mess up. We messed up on both of them on our first try (they come in a 2pk), but the litebite people sent me free replacements and we got it right the second time. They work great.

Wish I could help. I purchased the mouthguard for my 8 year old that plays basketball and baseball. It works great for that!

Yes. I love the mouth guard, I chipped my tooth and I have a fake cap on my front tooth from chipping it and with this mouthpiece never had a problem..

Please look at the picture. Our hard night guard is Hard on the surface and soft on where it touches your teeth. So it has endurability along with comfort.

I would strongly recommend a real mouth guard, this pops on and off very easily, plus you need to worry about biting your tongue! Also most sports have pretty specific safety requirements.

hi Vanysha, this guard does help with TMJ stress by minimizing the negative effects of grinding and clenching. However, it is not meant correct or guide jaw position.Also, we didn't receive any emails from "Vanysha" in our system. Did you use a different name or email?ThanksSarah

Yes. There are two ways to do it, either by the jaws or the contacts on the side. Just make sure you open the jaws if using the contact points on the side.

I'm not certain. I would think that a retainer is worn in order to keep your teeth from moving, and a night guard is similar, but is more a mold to prevent wearing your teeth down. But you said your retainer is getting worn down, which seems to indicate that you are grinding your teeth. So perhaps this is a good option.

Yes. My son uses the mouth guard to play basketball and has been hit numerous times and has had no problems with chipped or damaged teeth

It would not be as effective. It is used mostly as a smacking defense. There are a few YouTube vids demonstrating on how it works.

Yes. The guard can be made for either the upper or the lower teeth. From what I read, having it made for, and applied to the lower teeth is better

As far as I know, you only need to wear a mouthguard on your top OR bottom teeth. I got mine for my top teeth, because the one I had previously -made through my dentist- was for the top teeth and it had worked well. This mouthguard has been working just as well, for a fraction of the price.
