Product Reviews of Sleep Right Secure Comfort Dental Guard
Product Review: Beats the heck out of the ones you have to boil to fit!
Summary: 5 Stars
I paid $400 for a custom dental guard which my dog promptly ate. Paid ANOTHER $400 for a replacement, which I finally chewed apart. Tried the kind you have to boil, then fit while it's warm - that didn't work out for me. This item fits great and does the job, and it's a whole lot cheaper than a custom made one. Very highly recommended.Product Review: Best I have used yet
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used night guards of all types for many years. I have paid $500 for the custom fit plastic guards from dentists to $20 for "The Doctor's" boil-to-fit guards (which I could never find a size that quite fit right and several times ruined them in the process of boiling and fitting). All of them usually ended up somewhere besides my mouth within a few hours of going to sleep. Regardless of price, none of them lasted much longer than 1-2 months for me. And, with the boil-to-fit guards, they are such a hassle that I found myself going without.
I found this product on sale somewhere for $29 and figured it worth a try. I have been using for two months and have yet to wake up without it still in my mouth. It works great, fits comfortably and has held up reasonably well. Though, I am certain it won't make it the three months they guarantee it for so we'll see how many times they will replace it under warranty. Don't fault this product though - every dentist I've seen says I have the worst grinding problem they have seen. I usually crack their professional versions w/in a week.
This would get 5-stars except the price is 2x other over-the-counter offerings and the guaranteed durability for average users is only 3-months. If this was always $29 or closer to $20, definitely a 5-star product.
Product Review: Buy 5 Stars
I just woke up after the second night of wearing this nightguard. If your dentist told you you have to wait and save to buy a custom night guard, ignore him and go buy this product. I woke up today without the dull headache I have had for so many years, I can't remember when they started. I have no pain and tension in my jaw, which is a miracle. I feel like I'm a new person practically. Best 40 bucks I've ever spent in my whole life.Product Review: Good concept, bad materials
Summary: 2 Stars
After five or six nights, right after getting used to it, it broke up. Materials are very lousy, and even though it is a good idea, the product is bad, and pretty expensive for what you get in exchange.Product Review: Good idea and design, but just not quite there.
Summary: 3 Stars
I've tried all the sizes available for these SleepRight night guards and it really came down to the bite pads being too thick. Don't get me wrong, the design and materials used seem of high quality, but even after a month - I was not used to this product in all the different sizes. I would wake up with cuts in my mouth (the bite pads have a harder plastic pivot) and a sore jaw from keeping it open at a certain angle (unanimous with all sizes). I think the design can use a little more refinement and it may be very good one day. I switched over to the Dentek "copies" and they actually work better for me. They come in packs of 2 for the price of 1 of these as well (just make sure you get the ones that have the blue bite pads). You can give it a try and may have success with this one.. but not for me.
Update 3/5/2011
I had to use my old pair as backup because my current night guard needed replacing. I've found these to actually be more comfortable if you adjust the bite pads to the narrowest setting holes. Perhaps this is partly due to how your jaw pivots towards the back. Wedging these bite pads into your molars forces your mouth to be opened more. Having them closer to the front allowed my mouth to be more closed during the night. With this adjustment, I'd give the product 3.5 stars if it were possible. I'd easily give it closer to 4 or 4.5 if the bite pads were more comfortable. Just thought I'd share this update.
