Can anyone recommend this/something else for night use? I've a double brace & even with lots of wax my cheek gets cut to pieces by the metal brackets.

I really did not like this product. I struggled to keep it in my mouth as I slept. I have had better mouth guards at a better price. No my favorite.

Worth a try. Our kids use it for martial arts training which includes sparring. They have braces top and bottom.

If your liners have some rough edges, it may stick. It doesn't stick well to smooth surfaces after it hardens. You may want to try something like Macks silicone ear plugs. It's moldable and stickier. I use Gishy goo, Macks, and wax on different parts of my braces. I have linguals on top and they are very scratchy and bothersome to me, so I need lots of help!

I would not advise that you use this product with your temporary retainers which have metal. I think ultrasonic vibrations is just a ruse. It simply agitates the solution around the appliances!

this would be perfect for that! i would recommend getting a blade with less TPI (teeth per inch(so not a metal blade. like a plastic or wood blade)) so it wont clog up on the plaster :)

Our products are same as dentist get, as we are a professional dental lab providing same products for dentist offices and the dentist offices don't make night guard themselves. But do note that each dental lab or dentist office use different material, technique and equipment. This night guard is for SEVERE teeth grinding. And if you follow our simple instruction and take the impression accurately, there should be problems with the fit or locking onto the teeth. Whether upper or lower is personal preference. If you have missing or loose tooth on upper part of your teeth, we'd suggest LOWER night guard. And vise versa for UPPER night guard.

I have always had night guards for my upper teeth, never for the bottom. WebMD says that upper night guards are the norm though lower night guards might done due to braces etc. It also says to consult with your dentist. In the past I have been recommended a night guard by dentists and have purchased them through dentists but was very put off by the price tag they wanted. The dental assistants suggested there was not much difference between what I could get from the secondary market from what the dentist would provide. Which is why I ordered this one which I have been suing with no problems since March. Having used both I can verify for myself that there is not much difference. Hope this helps!

I have clear bracket braces and they fit fine. Don't know size difference between clear and ceramic. It clips to the metal wire and find this better than putting wax at night to sleep.

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!

Only if combined with a mouth guard to protect the teeth. I use a Doctor's Night Guard from my local pharmacy.

Yes ma'am, I'm with guygo. I'd never leave this thang on at night. it does have one a them cut-off thangs on it but I'd never trust it overnight. Th best safety device is what's between my ears.

It depends on your case. If you recently took off braces, you should wear the retainer fulltime. But if it has been a while, you do not need to wear fulltime. Ask your orthodontist. As for me, I have had brace over ten years ago. I wear the retainer every few nights, mainly as a night guard to protect against grinding but also it seems to keep my teeth in place. This retainer works as both. Perfect fit for your teeth.

I haven't had any such problem with this brace. It's comfortable enough for me. But I don't wear it at night I use it only to keep my trigger thumb in check when I'm doing manual work.

Hi!, You could send this question to the manufacturer. However, I would not recommend the use for anyone who has braces or any metallic parts inside/outside their upper body especially on the face or close to the face.

Yes you could,but I had a night guard that fit just on my front teeth, it cost over 500.00 dollars and worked greatly, but my dog got a hold of it and tore it up so I had to resort to this

Does this nightguard relieve jaw and neck pain due to clenching? I have a really hard acrylic splint that has done nothing for me and makes the pain worse. Was hoping this would help.

I would not advise it. This is designed for overnight use for grinding. Using two may cause misalignment and keep your mouth too far open at night. If yours is becoming worn, buy a new one, the price is good.
