Product Reviews of SleepRight Adjustable Select Night Guard - Mint
Product Review: Worth a shot if you won't go to the dentist.
Summary: 3 Stars
Not a bad product. Seems to be holding out fine. Does not feel like it fits my mouth correctly but it is an akward product by nature so I don't expect it to fit like it was made for my mouth. Hard to get used to having it in my mouth while trying to sleep but after a few nights I got used to it and my jaw was being trained not to clench. All in all a good product if you can't or won't go to the dentist for a custom mouthpiece.Product Review: happily surprised
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this after breaking a molar from what was diagnosed as severe clenching during sleep. Was skeptical, but purchased the SleepRight Adjustable Select after reading such good reviews. So surprised at how great it is for the price. It took a couple nights to get used to it, but now I can't sleep well without it because I can tell I'm clenching. Stays in my mouth all night. I barely notice it. I will purchase another as a back up for sure. Works great and for the price, it is worth a try.Product Review: parts need to be more sturdier
Summary: 3 Stars
The PROS:
1. I like the design
2. in my case the unit fit my mouth quite well.
3. not as noticeable (annoying) when wearing, as other mouthguards out there.
The CONS:
1. bite pieces should be made of harder materials.
I only got about 30-45 days out of mine, before the plastic pieces (2 plastic parts that you bite on)
were almost cut in half.
My .02 cents of these items.
First, the degree to which Bruxism affects people is very "Subjective".
In which case I still have not encountered a true "One-size-fits-all" product that worked very long.
I would like to see at least 3 styles of sets, of plastic bite parts.
I mean, after all, the price of the amount of plastic involved is like pennies.
1. Ideally they should offer a sort of "starter set" that would provide 3 different sets of bite pieces.
a. One set of soft
b. One set of medium hard
c. One set of almost indestructible bite pieces.
Personally to prevent night grinding:
1. I went back to the $1 or $2 ones from walmart/kmart.
The adult style of "boil for 30 seconds until the plastic is software, then bite into them".
For under $20 bucks (at 1 per each month) you would have a years worth of mouth guards.
I change them out at every 2-4 weeks.
2. Rotate them occasionally and have you dentist monitor your teeth.
(my dentist had a million reasons why her "$1 piece of plastic, which she would be selling me at $200+,
was so superior to my home made mouthguard. Naturally her mouthguard was NOT covered by insurance).
3. IMPORTANT: If you can link your grinding to an underlying stressor, try to address the "reason" you might be grinding.
4. when the dentistal assistant, or dentist, tries to pressure you to buy their "professionally made" mouthguards at $200+, tell them you want them to give you a lifetime WARRANTY with lifetime replacements;
Only then will you "possibly" consider it.
5. You know these 50 cents pieces of plastic they try to sell you for $200+ are most likely NOT going to last any longer than the $1 to $15 ones from walmart.
Ask them how many of those seminars they have attended on the subject of,"Making an extra $250K a year selling extras,upsells and add-on services"
Dentist are becoming like the chiroprators and used car salemen.
Going to all these "how to increase you bottom line" type seminars. Make $250,000 your 1st first year, blah,blah.
I got sick of having to deal with the constant barrage of upsells (when all I wanted was my teeth cleaned)
I'd walk into my dentist office and the cleaning tech bombards you with teeth whitening, or cosmsetic
procedures.
Then an Xray tech takes you for Xrays and they have their sales pitch also.
I don't begrudge someone getting ahead in the biz world, just don't be so greedy.
I mean really. $200+ for a $2 or $3 piece of plastic.
No wonder so many of the so called "neccesities" dentist want to do to you are NOT covered by your dental insurance.
Good luck in your search for a mouthguard which you would rate as a 5-star
