The ConfiDental - Pack of 5 Moldable Mouth Guard for Teeth Grinding Clenching Bruxism, Sport Athletic, Whitening Tray, Including 3 Regular and 2 Heavy Duty Guard (3 (LLL) Regular 2 (II) Heavy Duty)

⚠️The following is NOT medical advice, it is ONLY my personal experience and opinion. Please consult a licensed medical professional prior to using any over the counter medical or dental device!⚠️ I bought this Night Guard on 06/2021, and it is still going strong even w/my biting it, chewing, and grinding on it pretty regularly. I bought this Night Guard (NG), because I was tired of waking up with teeth intentions in my tongue, and tongue pain from what felt like my almost biting my tongue through while I slept! Ugh! I had previously spoken with a Dentist who recommended I use a Night Guard (NG), and then proceeded to charge me an arm and a leg to ‘custom’ fit one for me. Only to have that NG not last very long, only a few months, before my consistent use broke through the silicon and it become unusable. I have since learned from use of other NG’s, that the silicon was just too thin to hold up to my biting, grinding while asleep. Note: IF You are new to using NG’s then it may take you a while to get used to sleeping with a foreign object in Your mouth. Yes, it may not stay in your mouth the entire night, but that does NOT mean it isn’t helping You (see my comments below about my own experiences with the NG not remaining in place through out the night/my sleep.) At least give the NG (whichever one You chose), a good month of consistent use, before You decide to throw Your hands up and that it isn’t working for you, or it is something too uncomfortable for You to use when You sleep. By uncomfortable, I mean having an object in your mouth, I do NOT mean discomfort when the NG is in Your mouth, if You experience discomfort from where the NG touches Your teeth or gums, then the NG needs to be recustomized! You need to go back through the reheat customization process, and recustomize the NG’s “Fit”. However, if You feel generally uncomfortable, because You have a foreign object in Your mouth, then I recommend that You just continue to stick to it, and keep using the NG, as You will likely get used to the NG over time (the length of time differs per person, from my conversations with others who also have used NG’s.). However, IF You have a deviated septum, snore loudly, and/or snore or wake often during sleep due to interruptions in Your breathing pattern, have sleep apnea, or any other difficulty breathing while sleeping at night, then do NOT use a NG without FIRST consulting Your Physician!! As NG’s are NOT recommended for people with breathing issues during sleep!! since the NG may exacerbate/worsen your breathing issues or potentially cause You to unintentionally choke!! So, speak to Your Licensed Medical Practitioner before using a NG to ensure that You can safely use one with Your medical condition! ?HOW TO CUSTOMIZE, CLEAN & STORE: This night guard is EASY to CUSTOMIZE, You simply boil about a cup, a cup and a half of water, (just enough water to cover the night guard when it is submerged in whatever container you plan to put it in while ‘warming’ it), wait for the water to cook from boiling hot to warm (just hotter than comfortable to stick your finger in it, maybe 5min?, If the water ends up too cool, just take the night guard out, place it on a paper towel and reheat the water and try again), when the NG is sufficiently warm, it will become pliable (you can easily bend it, etc.), wait until it is cool enough You can put it in your mouth without burning yourself, then place the NG into Your mouth and bite down on it, to impress Your teeth impression into the silicon of the NG. Do NOT bite down so hard that You bite through the NG (or bite the NG super thin) as that would defeat the purpose. You are aiming for a customized “FIT”, and NOT to bite through it! Plus, if any part of the NG is uncomfortable when customizing or later after using, You can simply reheat it and redo the customization process. If You still have issues, then You can reheat the NG, and using a few handy kitchen or toolbox tools, You should be able to press, push, and/or possibly cut (though I do not recommend cutting it, that’s just a last resort, as cutting it would likely void any warranty and replacement by the manufacturer), and You should be able to smoosh/squash any uncomfortable piece down/into submission and a more comfortable placement. Once Customized be sure to store Your NG in the Blue Container that comes with it, after use. You can clean it regularly by soaking it in Efferdent or another over the counter denture cleaner. Be sure completely dry before storing. MATERIAL: I have used other NG’s and this one is comparable. Like many others, this NG is made of clear silicon that becomes pliable in warm to hot water. The hotter the water, the more pliable, (so make sure the water isn’t so hot that it totally loses it’s shape!, as that would ruin it!) COST+VALUE: The cost of this NG is definitely a point of value considering how much dental offices charge for customized NG’s, which is typically an outrageous amount! Also, when compared to other NG’s sold online, I found this NG to be reasonably priced at the time it was purchased. QUALITY/DURABILITY: I can’t speak of others, but I do not use my NG every night. I tend to only use it when I wake up and find that I have again bitten down on my tongue hard enough to leave deep teeth impressions. Then I start using the NG for a few nights, and inevitably I stop using it again, not intentionally, I just forget, and the cycle repeats. However, having said that, the NG has held up very well considering I purchased it 7 months ago. AND, not only do I tend to bite down HARD or Grind my teeth HARD at night, but I also tend to bite chew/grind my NG when it is in my mouth even BEFORE, I fall asleep. A bad habit, but it is kind of a habit. My point being that even after seven (7 months), this NG is still going strong. I haven’t needed to reheat it and reshape it, nor has the NG’s silicon broken through even after all my biting, chewing, grinding consistent abuse. RECOMMENDATION & RESULTS: I would definitely recommend this NG for anyone who is in need of a NG to stop biting, or grinding their teeth while sleeping or who has been advised to use a NG as padding between their teeth at night while sleeping to ease Templar Mandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) pain the next morning. While my own NG does NOT tend to stay in place through out the entire night, the NG does somehow keep me from leaving deep and painful teeth impressions in my tongue, so apparently it remains in place long enough for my subconscious to get the message while I sleep and for me NOT to bite my tongue so hard or grind my teeth all night. For the price (whatever it may be), and the results, in my opinion, this NG is definitely “worth it” to try it for yourself. Good Luck & I hope You find this NG as helpful for Your own condition as I found it for mine.

I bought the The ConfiDental - Pack of 5 Moldable Mouth Guard, after straining my jaw muscle when clenching my teeth one night. I visited my dentist, and he showed me a few different mouth guards they sell for $200-300 each. He told me that some patients were not always happy with the ones they had purchased through the dental office. I was directed to the ConfiDental pack on Amazon by the Dental Hygienist. 5 moldable mouth guards are included in the package, of two different sizes. When I clicked on the instructions, I was directed to a Live Chat with customer service. An instructive video was shared with me on how to mold the mouth guards. You must be fairly precise with the instructions for the device to be done correctly. The Customer Service Rep was on the Chat as I followed the steps. He then asked me to submit photos of the the two mouth guards I had molded. After looking at each photo, the Customer Service Rep told me I had done it correctly. He then asked if he could contact my through Chat the next day to see how my night went with the mouth guards. The ConfiDental Service Rep did contact me the next day to check on how my sleep was wearing the mouth guard. How did it feel in my mouth when wearing it? He then checked in with me two days later to see if everything was still comfortable for me after two nights sleep wearing the guard. I was so impressed with the excellent customer service! How often does any customer receive that these days?! The mouth guard has been great in helping with my night teeth clenching. The price was excellent compared to those from the dentist. I also have 3 more I can mold when I need them. 5 stars!

My experience with this product has been exceptional so far. The easily accessible video and written instructions made it simple to mold the guard to my teeth. My first attempt didn't go perfectly as I bit too hard and ended up going through it. For this reason, I very much appreciated the varying sizes and depths of the guards to choose the best one for my mouth, teeth, and needs. Additionally, I was immediately contacted by a friendly and helpful HUMAN representative who answered all my questions, guided me through the process, checked my outcome, and followed up with me the next day to see how my experience was. I'm not sure how the company manages this kind of customer service, but it's rare to find these days! I've slept in the guard for two nights in a row at this point. While I do struggle to fall asleep with something in my mouth, I know that will be something I get used to and soon will not notice at all. The guard isn't bulky or intrusive, and it stays in place, making it very easy to breathe (and speak) as needed. The best part is I've woken up two mornings in a row with no jaw or ear pain! The only frustration I've experienced with this product at all, was a mild one that a water temperature wasn't provided in the instructions, as that seemed like it would make the process of molding the guard much easier. However, the same incredibly helpful customer service representative (thanks Liam!) that was assisting me explained why a temperature wasn't offered (it could vary quite a bit based on numerous conditions). This is a good product with excellent customer service, and NO pain from grinding my teeth! I'll take more of these all day, every day, over the incredibly expensive, rock hard guard that my dentist fit over my four front teeth only... Let's face it, bigger IS better.

I got this product as a temporary until my prior authorization came back from my insurance for my dentist. I'm thinking I might not need the more expensive version from my dentist now. These really work and helped to releive my jaw pain and morning headaches from grinding my teeth at night. Watching the instructional video was incredibly helpful and the customer service chat feature with an actual human was amazing. He walked me through each step in real time and even checked on me the next day to confirm it had worked for me and that it was comfortable. I'm amazed that this kit came with so many size options. I have a smaller bite and the smallest size was perfect for me. My sister has a slightly bigger bite so I gave her the medium size and she loves it too. So for under $15 we both got good fitting custom night guards which blows my mind. If you're thinking about it, get them! Many reviews state the instructions I'm the booklet weren't easy to follow which is true but literally after each step it says to please watch the video for more in depth direction.
