Has anyone tried this after having their teeth aligned with Invisialign type braces? Did it change your bite? thx

I never had braces, but you follow a similar process to fitting the mouth pieces like you used as a kid to play sports. It doesn't change your teeth alignment, in fact, it actually forms to your teeth and creates a suction when used that keeps your jaw closed at night. All it does is simply pushes your lower jaw out a bit and gives you a bit of an underbite when you wake up. Takes a few moments to get your normal bite back in the morning. Feels a bit weird, but it only takes a few minutes to get your old bite back. Worth it for a wife who put up with my freight train snoring for 30 years.

F.Y.I.: I'm a senior, and love this brush. My dentist recommends them, and at my age I am doing all I can to make sure I leave this world with all my teeth (so far so good!). The labeling says "designed specifically for preteens and teens" is because its fine to use with braces. Lots of kids (including my ten-year-old grand daughter) are getting braces well before they hit their teen years. Some electric brushes can damage braces because their brushing action is too violent. Sonicare works more by vibrating the plaque off than by actual brushing, so is fine for braces. I really think this little appliance is great, but be sure to use it the right way: Don't try to brush hard with it as if its a regular toothbrush; slowly pass it over your teeth (pausing at each area) and give it a chance to work. Its also very good for your gums. I think you'll like it.

I had used this product for a good couple of years and then got upper dentures and it would not work properly. I was upset because it had really tightened up the areas that needed tightening up. Then I got seven upper implants and had a permanent fixture attached to the implants. I am once again going to order this. Sorry for the bad news, but that was my experience.

They did not work for me at all. They are bulky and do not easily conform. I have tried several brands but have not found any one type to work as well as the ones I had made at the dentist. Considering its 175 bks to have made again I will keep trying the ones on market. I didn't like these at all.

This product didn't work for me at all. I am currently using the step-smart brace, this product works very well.

I had little trouble removing during fitting attempts. But I did not use adhesive-because the 2 brands I tried were very different,but shared a flaw. Both were obvious and didn't look good or natural because they protruded through my skin around my mouth..If they fit u,congrats.They do come out easily,though.

Unfortunately, I do not have braces, so I have no idea. You have a mold impression that you bite into and send back to have them make the mouth guard, so I'm not sure the mold would work without getting in between the brackets. It's a good question for the people at sporting smiles though. They are very responsive to email! Sorry I couldn't be of anymore help!

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

I do, the effect to me is way better. When I wear my retainers a put them on over the strips but sometimes I just wear the strips without the retainers and so far so good, unless you move your mouth alot during sleep.

Yes it works. I had to get used to it but it is better than paying the dentist $1600.00. It covers the teeth so they don't grind.When this one I am using wears out I and going to see if I can cut the new one on the sides and wherever necessary before I mold it to see if I can use it on my lower teeth.I got the 2 for 1 order so I have another pair to use if the modify doesn't work

May be, give it a try and see if it holds. You won't know if you don't try it. You have nothing to lose. If it doesn't hold or you're not satisfied with the results then you probably have to see a dentist. I bonded my bridge back on and it is still holding. Good Luck, Dave

More or less. I wear two braces, I put them both on each night. You can get used to it. The alternative is not having any brace at all, and suffering pain.

Has anyone tried to use a dental adhesive with temptooth? The reason I ask is that there is some disagreement as to whether or not you can eat with it, and I was thinking if you used a dental adhesive, it would make it more anchored down which would allow for more pressure to be put on the tooth. I'm just wondering if long time users have any input into this question:).

I dont think it would hurt your braces as they are thin and not tight fighting but you should probably ask your dentist.

Yes. It is not and adhesive through. You need to know that up front. The product turns into a soft plastic. It makes the teeth fit snug. And they don't move around when you eat. Some people use poly grip or some other adhesive on top top make teeth fit even tighter. I have not. Buy one tube and try it. It does take a while to find what works for you.

I have not had any issues and I also have sharp teeth.I just have the stand one, but they also have a more durable one that might work better for you. So far so good with mine.

In my opinion they are not effective at all. These tablets yellowed my aligner, was a pain and a half to clean. and is not mobile at all. I use a soap made for the invisalign called oap cleaner.
