" ...  My nightguard is very comfortable and seems to be working well.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The most important aspect of my new mouth guard is that it fits like it should and I don't see any inferior manufacturing quality in comparison to a local dentist office taking the impression for me.  ...  "

comment
" ...  I've ordered the soft/hard hybrid for my lower teeth and it's fantastic. ... It fits comfortably and it is STRONG. ... It is thin enough to not gag me and it's edges are nicely done so it doesn't put pressure on my gums or cause sore spots.  ...  "
comment
" ...  These are my third try for mouth guards.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I have been wearing this for a week now and I could not be happier with the product. ... The first night, I woke up with teeth pain, as my teeth shifted back to their former position at the time of the impression. ... By the third morning, I almost forgot I was wearing a guard!  ...  "

comment
" ...  The team also told me they would hold my impressions for a little while so that I don't have to rush and get another set right after buying the first (as I love my guards so much today that I immediately worried about wearing any down and having to take my own molds again.)  ...  "

" ...  it is the same material as the the dentist version, and it fits BETTER than the earlier one I had.  ...  "
comment
" ...  She still uses it everyday because it's usable, but the last thing I wanted was bits of the guard material being swallowed during her sleep. ... I paid an extra $10 to upgrade to their most durable and thick option, but $10 for a brand new top of the line guard is totally worth it! ... I could have gotten it completely free if I chose a thinner guard.  ...  "
