" ... It can be trimmed to fit, and remolded several times. ... I have a small mouth, so the 1.6mm fits very well. ... "
" ... It took me couple of soaks to get the perfect fit. ... But once it was molded perfectly I am using it every night over my dentist made night guard that was hurting my teeth… It may not be a lasting guard for heavy grinders but does the job for me. ... I have it for few months now and wear it every night and seems it will last me for quite a some time. ... "
" ... I prefer this to the soft thick one I was using. ... After my initial fitting, I dipped just a section of mine in hot water to adjust the sides and front til I got it the way I wanted. ... "
" ... Once you mold it correctly it fits snug on either upper or lower, whichever you prefer to fit the device to. ... "
" ... Super thin compared to every other bite guard I've had. ... "
" ... I found these easy to form to my mouth, I have a small mouth so not all nightguards fit nicely. ... "
" ... I'm am so glad I bought this mouth guard, got it to fit first time, no messing around. ... "
" ... More comfortable than bulky expensive dentist office nightguards. ... "

" ... Truly the best fit I've every had, and I've been using mouth guards for decades. ... The perforations are a game changer for comfort. ... The allow the guard to breath and for fluids to pass through, if you wear one today, you know why that's important. ... "

" ... Thinner than the mouth guard that my dentist made for me so it's more comfortable and less drooling and less choking on drool in my sleep. ... "
" ... So far, the Sova nightgaurd is the BEST I have ever used for the money, ease of obtaining, ease of making, comfort, ease of use, and I don’t have headaches in the morning and it’s protecting my teeth! ... "
" ... I liked that it is remoldable if you mess up or it’s not as comfortable as you want. ... "
" ... In the past I have used the boil and form guards which were fine for me and comfortable. ... I finally decided I had a good fit and wore it compared to my expensive guard from the dentist. ... As far as comfort they are pretty close. ... "
