Many people will grind their teeth at night, also called BRUXISM. This will wear on the teeth and actually hurt the teeth if continued. Dentist will make a custom mouth piece to protect your teeth to help protect the teeth. Now you don't have to go to the dentist to get a custom mouth piece and save hundreds. Our mouth piece is a .160 thickness. Most whitening trays are .040. Its made of soft rubber like material, this will last for years and protect your teeth too.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism Yes, I grind my teeth at night, something my pert little dental hygienist feels compelled to nag me about every time I'm in for a check-up. The thing is, the night guards that the average dentist office wants to make for you cost upwards of $500! Can you believe it? $500 for a little bite-sized piece of polymer! So, when I happened across this product on Amazon.com for a fraction of the cost, I thought about it for a good, long while. Then I dismissed the notion, assuming that it was probably no different than those do-it-yourself jobbies that are commonly available at your local pharmacy. I tried one of those once, where you boil the stuff and then chomp down on it to mold it to your bite. The biggest problem with it was that the end-product was so bulky and awkward that it felt like I was sleeping with a Cadillac Escalade in my mouth.
Studying this item a little more closely, and reading the (then) sole review, I eventually got off the fence and decided to give it a try. And... I was pleasantly surprised! The kit arrived in my mailbox promptly, with all the necessary components, instructions and a post-paid return mailer. Making the impression was a little dicey (make sure that you lean back and relax while the polymer sets -- otherwise you might gag and/or drool a bit), but once it hardened (5 minutes), it popped right off without incident. Then, after a cold rinse of water to help the material set harder, I was shipping it back to the seller, who speedily returned to me a compact little guard (just like one that you'd get back from your dentist's lab) and a protective case. It works great!
One note: I experienced a slight reservation when I noted that: 1] the seller (Touch of White Smile) appears to work out of his/her home (a residential address -- or so it seemed -- on the return mailer), and 2] the home-made instructions needed a little tweaking in the grammar/spelling department. However, whether the seller is a dental student or a professional who works at home to save on overhead or simply an enterprizing entrepreneur, the product I received is in every way a good one, and not the only item offered in this seller's line: whiteners and sports guards are also his/her forte. So, if you suffer from Bruxism (I assumed it was named after some early scientist/dentist guy named "Brux" who coined the term, but Wikipedia says that it's "from the Greek "brugmós" which means "gnashing of teeth"), and you don't want to pay a zillion times too much at your dental office, then give this seller a try.
