Plackers Mouth Guard Grind No More Night Time Use 1 Package (10 Count)

Product Information

There are essentially three types of molds you can choose from outside of your dentist’s office, and they each serve a different purpose. Some night guards come with an extra tray for teeth whitening. This can be an added benefit if you’re planning to whiten your teeth already. Buying and wearing a night guard when you also have braces can be difficult, and in many cases, a professionally-fit night guard from your dentist or orthodontist is the best way to go. When you have braces, your mouth is changing all the time; a professional fitting allows you to get exactly what you need without damaging your braces is often the best approach, says Jaclyn Tomsic, MD, oral and maxillofacial surgeon at Ohio’s Center for Oral, Facial, and Implant Surgery. The same is essentially true for night guards that cover all of the teeth on your upper or lower jaw versus the ones that provide only partial coverage, either by connecting bite plates together with a thin strip or only affixing to your front teeth. When it comes to choosing, it’s mostly a matter of personal preference or comfort. I am feeling a bit nervous/anxious though. Should I go to my doctor? Will it pass ok? I am in no immediate discomfort.

Our disposable and ready-to-use night guard can be used for the treatment of bruxism, more commonly known as teeth grinding or clenching. The streamlined design is one-size-fits-all and can be worn on the upper or lower teeth, whichever is more comfortable: no boiling, cutting, or molding required. Our instant fit guards can be used for up to 3 nights and are easily disposable, eliminating stress and providing optimal protection for both "clenchers" and "grinders" alike.

Overall Take

Sleeping should be the one daily activity when your entire body is at rest, but that’s not always the case. Some health problems don’t stop just because you fall asleep, causing you to wake up in the morning with sleep-related aches and pains; one of the most common of these is bruxism, or grinding your teeth, and according to Dr. Rhonda Kalasho, DDS, CEO of TruGlo Modern Dental, it’s often brought on by snoring, stress, sleep deprivation, and sleep apnea.

The best fit will likely come from the types of night guards that have you fit a mold over your teeth, then send them off to have the mouth piece made. This takes a little extra time, but it’s something you can do without your dentist’s help. Overall comfort and fit is an important part of finding the right night guard. If your night guard is painful or ill-fitting, you probably won’t wear it, defeating the purpose of getting one in the first place. For more than 3 months from initial use without consulting your dentist. See your dentist every six months thereafter while using this product.

There are night guards that can be worn on your upper teeth, ones that can be worn on your lower teeth, and several that can be customized to fit either your lower or upper teeth. So which one do you need? Honestly, it’s mostly up to you. But these protective devices aren’t just useful for teeth grinding. Some can even help reduce snoring, since they widen your airway, reducing the vibration that occurs while you sleep. While this is no substitute for a sleep study to determine the root cause of your snoring, it can be an added bonus if you already suffer from sleep bruxism.

If that’s not for you, we suggest signing up for the night guard subscription plan at ClearClub: Not only are the night guards more affordably-priced than they are through a dentist, but you can save a good deal of money by subscribing to a renewal plan upfront.
