Okay so I got my stay tray...and it is awesome! The only thing..is it okay that it doesn't cover the back two teeth on each side?

Mine was like that too which I used for a while. Then I went to a more expensive one from Sporting Smiles. However you have to make a mold and send it off and they mail it back. It covers all teeth. I like it better.

My cover does not have a point on one side. It's squared off on both ends to cover the trays.

I think it's the way your mouth guards are formed. If you did them on your own like I did, mine are uneven. It's not so easy to put them in hot water and then put them in your mouth to form them, consequently they do not fit to your teeth properly.

Nope, The tray slides out to the side so you don't have tan lines. That's a good thing.

Yes, the strips do in fact, cover both front and back of teeth. Following directions as shown on package, you simply fold each strip over the teeth as shown, withthe gel side placed on teeth. Hope this helps!

I have to say that I did not have this problem. My tray fit the cage perfectly. Though, I have to admit I made the mistake of making the cage backwards.

This model is not as bulky as the original model...but "bulky" is 'specious' (as bulky to one mouth may not be to another mouth). The question in my mind are: a) is there enough of it for your teeth to "seat" into the material, so it sticks to your upper teeth at night when you may be chewing, grinding, and so on...so that it stays put. I have tried several other brands, which have a very minimal strip for the back teeth, and practically a small ribbon of plastic around the front teeth, and they have not seated properly (after boiling for 1 minute, then dropping into cold water, then immediately into your mouth to make the impression). It felt dangerous to me to have something flipping around inside my mouth--what if I started to swallow it?!!And if it won't stay put, it does you no good whatsoever. This model has softish material and your teeth go into it, and it makes a perfect impression of your teeth. So it fits like a glove. The band across the front is strong, but as minimal as they could make it, and still do the job. You can cut this down with sharp scissors, if it extends too far back in your mouth (beyond your back teeth). The original model told you to do that--I don't know whether the instructions for this model do or not, but it is easily done. Just pare away small bits until you get where you need to be--but don't be incautious and whack too much off at one time--it won't grow back :&gt;) I'd think a small mouth would mean, in this model, that your troubles would only be with the front to back measurement, and that can be whacked off at each end. Since the material allows your teeth to sink down into it, your jaw is not held open at all.

The Velcro is back there. But I can't say I notice it all. Every once in a while while I flip to my front side I remember it there (when I'm sill awake, never when already sleeping). But really happy with it. FYI. I'm a hobo shift worker. Not associated with anything but myself. Would recommend to anyone

Hi Jennifer, I have the same problem too (also, I chronically salivate no matter what). Once I get the trays in, I put a small piece of gauze in at the same time to try and absorb the drool...its a pain to put something else in there at the same time, but it helped. Wish I could think of other ways -- if I do, I'll let you know. :)

No. I asked the same question because the trays were too small to fit over my upper teeth. The Vendor stated one size fits all and then proceeded to explain how to make an impression. Fact is, you cannot make a good impression when the trays to not fit over your teeth.

Hello, P. Mc Dermott, did you buy this Taby Tray? We have a Chicco Nextfit and I was wondering if the tray fit with it.

Yes, because the Imako veneer gets molded to your front teeth (however many you have). Nothing attaches in the back. I use denture adhesive to secure the fit, but still can't eat with em.

Hi Irene. I tried to put a strip on the bottom and one on top at the same time and it was terribly uncomfortable and I could not keep the strips from "slipping" around in my mouth so I use one on top and afterwards one on the bottom. You can try it to see if it works for you but it did not for me. Have to use the separately but they work:)

Yes, it will keep the teeth spaced apart like a full mouth guard without such a large "footprint" encompassing your mouth.I do find that I sleep with my lips open, so my mouth will often feel...sticky?

I would look closely at the many reviews that warn of missing side vents. It is highly likely that the piece will be defective. At that point it doesn't matter what tray it fits on. Buyer beware!

Yes. There is nothing wrong with the tray, with the exception that it looks used. Does not look like a tray that came out of the factory. I had to polish it with furniture polish to make it look nice and bright. Also, it arrived poorly packed. Nothing like packages that come from the factory. No print-out information inside the box. Nothing!

I got mine from my dentist. You can get trays at the drug store also but they do not fit as well as the ones custom made by a dentist.
