This is the only OTC nightguard I have tried that I can tolerate. It's reasonably comfortable, gives decent protection, and best of all, my boyfriend can't even tell when I have it in. I grind my teeth badly, so for the past year or more I've used this product nightly on the advice of my dentist. I can't shell out [$] for a real one right now. I have tried some other OTC types because this one isn't perfect, but it is hands down the best I can find because it doesn't get in the way of being able to close my mouth or breathe. That said, it does tend to wear out, really probably in 4 or 5 months. Once it starts to wear out, I find that it slips out of place to the sides much more easily, and the adjustable stops don't hold well anymore. Some parts of the front strap can get irritating on the gums, but I find that changing the adjustment temporarily can help, or using a different guard on the top teeth instead of the bottom for a few nights (or vice versa). I was very happy to find these here at such a great price, since my local drugstore was selling them for [$] each, and then they stopped carrying them at all.

Put this in the first night I got it and couldn't fall asleep. Tried again the next night (just last night) and finally got to sleep with it. However, when I woke up this morning and took it out, my bite has completely changed. My molars furthest back are now touching before any of my others. It's super annoying and painful on my jaw and I don't think it's going to go back to normal, so I'm really freaked out and worried. I would've liked the fact that it's much less bulky than the boil-and-fit ones, but now I'm never using this again! Guess I have to give up and face the consequences of grinding/clenching my teeth because no product has worked yet.

I have been using the Dentek night guard for years. It is totally worth the price. It works best for me using it on my bottom teeth. I have tried cheaper brands and just ended up wasting my money. If you are a first time user to night guards, it does take a few weeks to get used to it. I wore mine a few hours before bedtime for awhile to get used to it. Dentek is adjustable for any sized mouth. I have a very small mouth and put it on the smallest setting-perfect! I wish I would have found this product before my lower teeth were ground down.

I wrote a review almost a year ago and decided to write another just to state that I STILL LOVE this night guard! At the time of my purchase, I thought it was a bit pricey, but I have been using the same one for almost a year (the price includes TWO)! Cost wise, this is amazing since custom-from-the-dentist guards are hundreds (and that's with insurance.) I wore custom-made guards for years and find this little thing so much more comfortable. LOVE IT. Worth every penny and then some.

I wear one of these every night due to my bruxism. My last one made it almost an entire year before I needed a replacement. Comfortable, not bulky, very easy to fit - and NO BOILING. I like this WAY better than the other, bulkier types I've tried. Check with your dentist - but I'd say you could easily wear this during the day if grinding is a problem. It's not visible unless you open your mouth pretty widely, and it doesn't alter your speech.

I've worn custom, from-the-dentist night guards for 30 years. These were comfy enough, but still found my teeth embedded in the night guard every morning. Last week I found I had two dead and abscessed front teeth and had to have root canals caused from trauma. Ha, the only trauma I've ever had to my teeth are grinding and the oral surgeon (who also grinds and had subsequent root canals)agreed that would do it.
Decided I needed to try something different. I've tried the over-the-counter, mold-with-hot-water kinds, but didn't find them comfortable. I decided to try this one because it looked different in that the teeth would be separated and my front teeth could NOT touch or embed into anything. I actually wore this 2 days after the root canal.
I liked it immediately! I decided to wait a week before doing a review and I'm still liking it. I think it allows my mouth to close more naturally and therefore my jaw isn't stressed.
I'm not really thrilled with the cost, but I was looking at $150 (with insurance) or $400 (without insurance) for a new dentist-made bite guard. If this lasts several months, I will be happy. So I give it 5 stars!

The design is simple and only covers the top and outside of a few back teeth. But, the part that covers the side of your teeth digs in to your gums. I had sore gums every morning I wore these.

I love the slim fit. I can talk without lisping, and don't look like a quarterback. Great product and great value, despite the more frequent replacements.

I purchased this mouthguard based on the other good reviews and am quite pleased with my purchase! The design is very compact, but easily adjustable. It stays put throughout the night, is comfortable and easy to clean. I have not used it long enough to determine how well it holds up, but am very satisfied with the results so far.

I needed this for gritting and grinding at night, and it was just not durable enough and the hinge in the piece that kept your teeth apart was constantly slipping back and forth. I had to send it back.
Comments about DenTek Comfort-Fit Nightguard, One Size, 1 ea:
I've ruined several expensive crowns from clenching my teeth during the night. I've tried custom guards and several over the counter guards but I have an extremely sensitive gag reflex and couldn't wear any of them because I would begin gagging the minute I put one in. That is, until I tried this product. It is the ONLY one that I have found that is small enough to not trigger my gag reflex and it stays in place the entire night, and best of all, protects my crowns from abuse.
Rinse the dental guard in warm water. Your dental guard is in the smallest position. Place on your lower teeth and bite down. The molar pads should cover at least half of your last molar but should not go beyond your molar. Use a mirror to determine if it reaches your last molar. Adjusting the dental guard: There are five positions of adjustment on each side of the dental guard. To adjust the dental guard, slide the molar pad back one notch. You will feel a positive "stop" when you have reached the first adjustment position. Repeat on the other molar pad so that both the right and left pads are aligned. Test fit the dental guard again to determine if half of your last molar is covered and that it does not extend past your last molar on each side. If the dental guard still does not cover half of your last molar, try the next notch back on both sides. There are five adjustment positions to achieve the perfect fit. Once you have found the perfect fit, wear it every night for protection against teeth grinding. Cleaning and care: After each use, brush your dental guard with toothpaste and/or mouthwash. Never rinse in hot water as it could alter the shape of your dental guard. Replacing your dental guard: All dental guards should be replaced over time. Please check your dental guard monthly for wear. If one wears out, please use the bonus dental guard included. The life of your DenTek Comfort-Fit Dental Guard depends on how often you grind and the force of your teeth grinding. On average, each dental guard should last approximately six months or longer.
