For my nightly teeth-clenching, my dentist recommended they custom-fit me for a night guard, which would cost at least [$], and wouldn't be covered by my insurance. So I tried several different OTC night guards instead. First I tried the kind you have to boil and shape to your mouth. None of the sizes I tried fit right. I have a very small mouth, and no matter how much I boiled and shaped, they were so big I couldn't close my lips, and they wouldn't stay in place. The heat from the boiling also hurt my sensitive teeth (caused by the clenching), making the shaping process extremely uncomfortable. Then I tried Sleep Right's standard adjustable night guard, which was also too big, but stayed in place better than the boiled kind. Finally, I was thrilled to find the "low profile" night guard, which is designed for people with smaller mouths, like me. It fits perfectly right out of the box, and doesn't require any uncomfortable boiling and shaping. It also comes with a 60-day guarantee, so if I chew through it in 30 days (as I have a few times), I can send it back for a replacement, or a refund (you can replace one night guard twice, then you will have to purchase a new one). I enjoy the mint flavor, but it doesn't last past the first couple of nights. I would definitely recommend this night guard to anyone with a small mouth, like me.
