I love this night guard!
I knew I had a problem with clenching my teeth at night, and my dentist recommended I buy a bite splint to help with any jaw pain I was experiencing. I didn't believe it would help but bought one anyway. The first bite splint I bought was impossible to sleep in. The fit wasn't right, and I couldn't adjust it easily. Because of this, I kept gagging and couldn't fall asleep. There was no way I was going to be able to sleep in it.
The Doctor's NightGuard is different. It is very simple to mold, and the process is pretty quick and very easy. The fit on my teeth ends up being perfect and pretty comfortable. You still have to adjust to having a block of plastic surrounding your teeth, but it's.fairly thin, and I found it easy to adjust to.
After wearing this night guard for a while, I learned I not only had a problem with clenching but with grinding, as well. How did I figure this out? Because I was wearing down the plastic! However, even after 1 1/2 - 2 years of almost nightly wear, I never broke through. The fit stayed great that entire time.
I recently bought a new guard (same brand) due to a piece breaking off the back of the guard (the "gooey" innards went beyond the harder plastic edging since I have a small mouth). Don't worry, though - it wasn't something I could have choked on. I bit and played with that plasticky part, and then ripped it off with my hands. The instructions state that you can simply cut off these elongated pieces with a knife.

Step 1: PrepProtect your smile while you sleep the The Doctor's Nightguard - these 3 easy steps usually takes just 8 minutes! Fill your microwave safe mug halfway with water |
Step 2: HeatMicrowave on high for 3 minutes. Let the water stand for 30 seconds and then remove the mug. Place your nightguard facedown in the water for 2 minutes. Remove your nightguard from the water with a fork so you don't burn yourself. Place on a plate sticky-side up and allow it to cool for 10 seconds. |
Step 3: FitPick up your nightguard by gently grasping the bottom. Don't touch the top sticky part. Using your mirror place your nightguard in your mouth onto the upper teeth. Putting the tips of your front teeth as close as possible to the front of the nightguard, so it doesn't slide. Now bite down. Use your thumbs to gently push the soft material on the outside of your teeth. Open your mouth fully and use your thumbs to press the molds against the insides of your teeth, avoiding your gums. Bite down again and count to 30. You will know it's time to remove your nightguard if it stays in place when you open your jaw. To take your nightguard out, open your mouth fully, and use your thumbs to gently remove it from your mouth. If it doesn't fit properly refer to your instruction manual for the reheating process and start at step 3. |

Great Product for Those Without an Overbite.
I found this product to be generally good. The quality was good, and I liked the fact that it wasn't super bulky when you had it in your mouth. The case that comes with it is nice, and feels sturdy and the included instructions are thorough and really help with the molding process. I didn't feel like the mold was too tedious and it wen't by pretty quickly and overall I would recommend this to someone who has a normal bite.That's where my personal experience deviated from some of the other reviewers. I don't think this guard is a good fit for someone with a very pronounced overbite. When I was molding the guard I knew I was going to run into trouble by how far back the hard plastic on the bottom of the front teeth pushed my bottom teeth back. This moves my whole jaw back and doesn't allow my teeth to rest just behind my top front teeth like they usually do. When my jaw is naturally closed without the guard, my bottom front teeth are totally hidden by the top teeth. My overbite is pretty severe and I would assume people with underbites would also have issues with this thing fitting perfectly. I had to put way more pressure than necessary to bite down as the instructions said to mold it and when it is in my mouth it feels like there is too much pressure on my front teeth because in the mold process I had to put extra force to bite down normally and move the hard plastic bottom.I have used this guard overnight for three nights now and I have woken up with the same jaw pressure I felt before I got the guard. I think my clenching overnight with the guard is forcing me to clench harder to compensate for the awkwardly placed guard behind my front teeth. I also wake up in the morning with slight soreness in my teeth and the feeling like they are being moved. I can't verify that, but when the guard is in, it is very very snug, to the point of being borderline unconformable.So the bottom line is, I would recommend this in a heartbeat for someone who has a normal bite and want a good quality guard that will hold up well against bruxism. At this price point, it's hard to deny the quality you receive. However, I would discourage anyone with a mild to severe overbite to purchase this product due to the lack of comfort it will give you. It's just not made for overbites.
