This package includes 2 Custom Comfort Dental Guards!

Splint… Jaw pain… Custom dental guard…

Chances are you’re really familiar with those words if you suffer from bruxism, that anxiety-induced nighttime clenching and grinding of the teeth. Even though they’re made of the hardest material the body can produce, your teeth need to be protected from each other to prevent cracking, wearing, and breaking while you bite and clench. DenTek’s dental guard gives you the quality, custom-fit protection you need.

STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE

Proper care of your Dentek Dental Guard will extend its life.

After each use, rinse the dental protector in cool water or mouthwash. Never use hot water on your dental protector as it might lose its shape.
Store in the hygienic storage container when not in use.

"I just attempted to fit the custom comfort dental guard and was unsuccessful for both guards! I read the instructions before attempting to fit the first guard and even visited this website to see if there were any additional tips. These guards seem to either have too much fitting material or too much firm plastic because I could not achieve a comfortable fit. I had to reboil the first guard until it was useless. Even with instructions and two attempts with the first guard, I was still unsuccessful with the second guard. These guards are not easy to fit due to poor design. I have used Dentist Night Guard before and did not have any similar issues with fitting and I believe those guards are easier to fit because they are smaller and contain less plastic/molding material. I changed brands to this product due to affordability but I am now in the process of getting a refund for this particular guard. I would not recommend using this particular guard. "

"I had a previous DenTek nightguard that worked great but of course I couldn't find that same style when I went to buy one recently. I purchased this one because it was 2 for 1. It took 2 times to heat and fit and seemed to stay securely in place. However, the first night I wore it, I couldn't get to sleep because I drooled too much! ;) I think because it forms around the gums so well, it doesn't allow for saliva to escape easily. I contacted customer service and I am now waiting on my refund."

"You don't need the whole guard in your mouth. I found it to be TO BULKY and I had trouble falling asleep. I bought a second one and did a little remodeling. I cut both sides evenly and only used what would cover my front teeth. Your not going to be able to bottom out. You would break you teeth before that happened. ITS WAY COMFORTABLE NOW!!...AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE ITS CLOGGING MY MOUTH UP. I also used a fingernail file to smooth any rough edges. It stays in place and it's not going anywhere. Good luck out there folks and thanks for a great product DenTek!

"I purchased this thinking it would be better than the previous mouthguard I had....not so. The main problem seems to be that when biting into it, there is too much gel in the back near the molars - which when displaced by your bite makes the mouthguard to bulky in your mouth. I tried to refit it several times and had difficulty. They promptly refunded my money. I went searching for the mouthguard similar to the one I had and found DenTeks "custom comfort" style that is perfect!"

"Why pay $300-450 dollars and not have your insurance cover it when this works almost the same. I have been using it for the last few days and so far I like and will continue to order this. GREAT PRODUCT!"

"This mouth guard had to be heated & formed to the teeth which wasn't that difficult. I have a small mouth & it feels huge to me. I also felt like it made my teeth move. I don't like it at all. "

"I loved the slim design yet the plastic became separated and broken after a few months. Just like usual, the proof of purchase is long disposed so the guarantee is useless. "

I recommend this product to anyone who needs a nightguard."

"Works very well! The first couple nights I wore it, I kept taking it off in the middle of the night. But a few nights later, I woke up the next morning wearing it. It molds to your teeth very well and the case keep it from getting dirty. After a while, bacteria was forming in my case and my nightguard was getting dirty. So I got a bowl of cold water with one spoon of baking soda mixed in and left my nightguard in there for a couple hours. I also put my case in the dishwasher. And now, both my nightguard and case look brand new! Highly recommend this product. "

"I had bad mouth pain and chipping of my enamel at the gum line due to my grinding. With no insurance I couldn't afford a custom guard so I picked one of these up at the store. After a few nights my teeth pain was gone! The downside is that it only lasted 2 months before all the molding stuff fell apart, but that may have been due to not having it aligned perfectly. This new feels much better in than my first and I'm hoping it will last longer."

What You Need To Begin

A microwave
A ceramic cup
A metal fork
A dental guard
A clock with a second hand
A ceramic plate
A mirror

Fitting Instructions

Using a microwave, bring a coffe cup of water to a rolling boil.
Remove cup of boiling water and let it rest for 15 seconds.
Place the dental guard with the soft, formable material facing DOWN into the hot water for 50 seconds.
Remove it with a metal fork and place on a plate (with the soft, formable material facing UP) for 10 seconds to cool off.
Immediately pick up the dental guard by the base and carefully place in your mouth but do not bite down yet.
While looking in a mirror, align the center below your front two teeth and the sides below your molars.
Firmly bite down and strongly suck in to remove excess moisture. With teeth clenched, use your fingers to mold the soft, formable material up and around the outside of your teeth and gums. Use your tongue to mold the material against the roof of your mouth.
Open your mouth and use your thumbs to mold the soft, formable material against the roof of your mouth and up and around the inside of your teeth and gums.
Firmly bite down again and leave the dental guard in your mouth until it cools to body temperature - about 3 to 4 minutes.

You are now finished with the fitting process and your dental guard should fit comfortably. However, If you did not get a good fit the first time, repeat the boiling process one more time beginning with Step 3. After two attempts, however, the material loses retention and you will need to fit the bonus dental guard.

Cleaning and Care

After each use, brush your dental guard with toothpaste and/or mouthwash. Never rinse in hot water as it could alter the shape of your dental guard.

Replacing Your Dental Guard

All dental guards should be replaced over time. Please check your dental guard monthly for wear. If one wears out, please use the bonus dental guard included. The life of your DenTek Custom Comfort Dental Guard depends on how often you grind and the force of your teeth grinding. On average, each dental guard should last approximately six months or longer.
