Lifesaver, or at least dental saver
I've bitten through 3 OTC mouth guards in as many weeks. I ordered this after my dentist told me my insurance doesn't cover mouth guards and one would cost me almost $500.I received the mold kit in just a few days, the instructions were easy to follow, and the mold hardened correctly. Only difficult part was getting the mold to come off, which was corrected by wiggling the mold to get it off my teeth.I sent the mold in, along with the additional order paper they send you. For $30 you can have them keep your mold for 5 years, allowing you to purchase additional guards at the reduced price. They only keep the mold for a few months otherwise.I have 3 crowns and a gap at my gums in between my front teeth. The mold and the guard have not affected either one. Its significantly more comfortable than OTC guards, and I no longer drool at night from an oversized bulky guard.The guard is perfectly formed to my teeth, even though I have a very small mouth. I can pop this in and it doesn't move or fall out. I can even talk with it in.Its easy to clean, and over the last month or so, there are only a few scratches where my teeth rub. I actually grind my teeth so bad I had to go in ro the dentist 4 times in 2 weeks because of chipped teeth, that were actually cutting my mouth and tongue open. Haven't had a single chip since using this guard.On thing to note though, this model is for the grinding and rubbing, not clenching. They have a double soft/hard guard that takes care of that. My teeth and jaw still ache when I wake up from the clenching, but no more dental damage.All in all, best $100 I ever spent (I got the 5 yr extension for them to keep my mold). I highly recommend this guard to anyone who wants a comfortable, durable mouth guard for grinding your teeth.

Thick and Bulky
I am a teeth grinder and had been grinding so badly that I would wake with terrible jaw and neck pain and a bad headache. I was told by several friends to give this type of mouth guard a try. After hours of reading and reviewing I decided on this one as it was priced fairly mid range and had some pretty decent reviews. The process of receiving and molding and sending back and then receiving the finished product was surprisingly smooth and easy. However the guard I received back was much bigger, thicker and bulkier than I was expecting. I attempted wearing it for a few mins at a time in hopes of getting used to it enough that I would eventually be able to wear it a full night and sleep. It has been several months and I gave up and just can’t do it. This may work for some but it’s way too thick and bulky for me to ever be able to sleep with it in.

VERY satisfied customer !!!!
I was extremely skeptical that a thin cover over my top teeth could possibly help with my horribly painful TMJ. My dentist kept telling me that it a night guard would make a huge difference and help the painful popping that I had every day. The dentist charges $550 for a night guard but a friend mentioned that I could get a custom made one from amazon for a great deal less. Since I did not think it was going to help I decided to try ordering on line. I WAS AMAZED. The first night I put it in, it fit comfortably, and I woke up for the first time in years and did not have my jaw pop and shift in horrible pain. I STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW OR WHY IT WORKS BUT IT DOES!!! It worked so well that I had my son order one as well. Worth every penny plus the customer service with this company is wonderful. I had a glitch with the one my son ordered ( his fault) and Joe was extremely helpful in fixing the problem we had.

Don't bother
Unfortunately, they can replicate what you can get at the dentist. Too good to be true, as the guard when received back was way too tight and ended up hurting my teeth afterwards. Tried their method of boiling it as recommended by CS, but ultimately was a waste of time. Their customer service was lacking and not very helpful.

Doesn't fit right, really thick.
The process is good. I was very careful making the mold. The result however isn't right. Something with the guard is definitely off. It fits but there is a LOT of pressure on my teeth. If I sleep with it in all night my teeth are really sore in the morning, thru most of the day. Sleeping is very difficult because of the pressure, so I have to take Benadryl. At this point I've given up using it. I even tried boiling it and re-forming it. It helped a tiny bit but not near enough. I was sad wasting 70 bucks, now that they've upped the price another 20 bucks to 90...well...not worth it

Too thick, rigid and not worth it
This mouth guard is extremely cheap quality and extremely thick. For its price there are plenty more brands available which are better quality. I’m usually not the one to write reviews. I’ve given this mouth guard more than enough time to settle in and it continues to cause tongue and mouth ulcers due to its rough texture and imperfect mold

Pleasantly Surprised
I received my upper mouth guard 6 days after the lab received it from me. It fits good , it is a little thick though, I also have a smaller mouth and missing 4 molars that were pulled for orthodontia . I did not use all the putty and the smaller mold felt a little big, but they were able to make a mouth guard with what I sent to them. I slept with it last night and when I woke up , my jaw didn't hurt, but my bite was off for a few minutes after I took the mouth guard out. I think it is to thick so I emailed them and they exchanged it for the slimmer version which is better for me. Great customer service

Bad bite + and it works-original one designed by Dentist was 600.00!
Double trouble-I have a bad under bite ( bottom teeth scrape back of top teeth and I grind my teeth. My last guard was hard "plastic" and designed by my dentist-it cost 600.00, and after a year or so it broke in my mouth. I was a bit worried to try this but the price is right so I ordered the least expensive and but it was rubber like and didn't feel strong enough. I then ordered the ticker clear "plastic " one. I have been wearing it every night and it's great! Grinding cushioned, no tinnitus , and no TMJ clicking,
