Do you think if you wore this during the day (in the car, etc.) it would help you stop grinding your front teeth?

I think I will keep one in my purse at all times. If I get stressed at work, my jaw starts to hurt so I must be gritting my teeth without knowing it. It has been a lifesaver for me. My headaches have diminished considerably.

Most definitely. I usually only grind my teeth at night unless I am REALLY stressed. Believe it or not, sometimes I forget to take the guard out right after getting out of bed. It is so comfortable. I have been wearing one guard for over a month now and it is still in great shape. But, you have to wash it thoroughly every morning and put it away in its little package to avoid germs and possible gum disease.

Yes. When wearing it, my front teeth are separated. The guard keeps them apart with a piece in the back.

No, but it may be uncomfortable to wear for a while... In my case I need to take breaks so my ears and head don't hurt.

It seems to work for me. I have a grinding problem while sleeping, and I tend to snore (according to my wife). She says it has made me not snore as well.

Yes. Excellent, but it hurts until you get used to it. I would test just a small place on your face to make sure your skin doesn't get irritated. Probably use it on a Friday so you've got Saturday and Sunday to see how it does.

yes I think it would help a lot I'm always using mine in the car you can adjust the air pressure for the pain.

No, but you can wear it on your top teeth or bottom teeth and it hits different places.

The description states that it also helps reduce bruxism which is grinding of teeth which usually accompanies jaw and mouth tension (TMJ). Based on that description, when used properly, I believe it would assist in reducing jaw and mouth tension.

Only if combined with a mouth guard to protect the teeth. I use a Doctor's Night Guard from my local pharmacy.

If you value your teeth and brain cells I'd say yes! I had one of those simple ones for a few months and I can tell you: the comfort and ease of breathing is way better with this and the concussive impact when you get even a mild hit is reduced much better with a high quality mouthguard. also, with the ridge for the bottom teeth the jaw is protected a bit better.

Yes, should not be a problem, just prevents teeth on teeth contact, no grinding

I have and I think it works well. Be prepared for the discomfort. I don't do my whole face at once I break it down to areas to make it tolerable

Unless you're going to go full wolverine on it, yes, I think it would. It is pretty solid. I bit it a few times before giving it to my son and it is pretty tough. So, for a chewing habit (like pen caps and pencils) I think it would be great. And it doesn't look bad, either. :)

I think it would definitely help. I don't have a tailbone issue and it makes long car trips comfortable. Just taking the pressure off the low back helps

I don't think I'd recommend that. Wearing it for 6+ hours would probably leave you rather sore, especially if you're not used to it. I usually wear mine for only 2-3 hours a day.

It will be a very rare thing that someone will grind through this guard...not because of it's toughness, but because it reduces the ability to clench hard...so you can't grind through it. The secret to having this guard last is not a grinding issue, but how well you clean it. Every morning you should drop it in a cup of water with a denture cleaning tablet. That will ensure it lasting a long time. We are getting reorders after 1-2 years.Dr. Spainhower

Yes it helps for all daily activities. I wear it under my pants or shorts. Stabilize and helps with pain& balance. .good deal.

It seems that it would work anywhere that your dentures or partials are loose or ill fitting. Of course, this is only a temporary measure until you can have a dentist appointment.
