Many people who suffer from bruxism also suffer from snoring and sleep apnea. Although there are special appliances that can be made through your health care professional that are specifically designed to open the bite and pull the jaw forward, we have had a number of customers who have appreciated the reduction in snoring and sleep apnea when wearing our SleepRight Night Guard.

Yes, however, you must adhere to the recommendations printed on the package and with the instructions

The SleepRight Night Guard provides a cushion of space between your teeth that will protect them from the destructive forces generated by overactive chewing muscles. Spacing your teeth apart also decompresses the jaw joints (TMJ) and acts as a splint. Splints are appliances often used in the dental surgery as the first line of defence against chronic clenching and grinding.

The SleepRight Night Guard uses natural tissue retention between your lips, cheeks and tongue to be held in place. There are no clasps that attach or fasten to the teeth to hold the appliance in place. The heat sensitive memory strap is soft, smooth and flexible. The front section of the strap lies comfortably between your lower lip and gum.

The SleepRight Night Guard (SRNG) is triple injection moulded, to accommodate soft and hard tissues of the mouth. The bitepads, which slip comfortably between your teeth, are made of a hybrid plastic, which makes it very resilient and durable without being like hard acrylic or soft mouth guard material. The resiliency is the key, because it resists the excessive muscle activity by pushing the teeth apart. This will fatigue the muscles quickly and it is quite normal to have muscle soreness.

It depends on a number of factors, but the average time that someone needs to use the appliance is 4 to 12 weeks.

According to the ADA, over fifteen percent of Americans suffer from chronic facial pain. Common symptoms include pain around the ear and clicking or popping noises when opening the mouth. The complex system of muscles, ligaments, and bones that comprise the TM joint can cause facial pain and discomfort or popping when a problem prevents this system from functioning properly. There are several ways a TMJ disorder can be treated; however, proper diagnosis is a critical step before treatment.

First, there are many different designs for dental guards available from the dental professional. Our SleepRight Night Guard is considered a posterior type splint / appliance, similar to many other posterior splints made in the dental surgery, without the much higher cost. It is also less bulky and allows easier breathing. The device comes with easy to follow care and fitting instructions and should only take a few minutes to fit.

Most people sleep around 6-8 hours a night and it is unlikely you would be able or want to continue to wear the device all day long. The goal should be to eliminate the need for the night guard as soon as possible. Yes, it is normal. When you are wearing the SleepRight Night Guard the joints are decompressed and if you have modified your behaviour to control the muscle activity, the lower jaw will relax to a more physiologically healthy position with a small shift forward.

The Deep Cleansing Lotion, Clarifying & Scrubbing Cream, Peel-Off Mask, Whitening Exfoliating Soap, and Sulfur Soap are all super deep cleansing products fighting against acne and other bacterial breakouts. It is also important to apply the products gently, in order not to irritate the skin.

Most likely, yes. Jaw discomfort and muscle soreness typically stem from chronic teeth grinding or clenching. This can severely wear the teeth and overload jaw joint structures. We’ll diagnose the source of your pain and, if appropriate, provide an appliance to protect your teeth and help your muscles relax. We can also help repair structural damage that has occurred.

Absolutely! Custom night guards are not bulky. They're custom-fitted to fit your individual mouth. Your tongue is not restricted and moves around freely. Our night guards are comfortable to wear while sleeping, plus you can wear them during the day without any restrictions.

If you want to continue to use a guard to protect your teeth, particularly when you first start using GrindAlert, go right ahead. It's perfectly compatible with GrindAlert.

Yes. You eliminate spray buffing, dust mopping, stripping, and almost half of your current frequencies of scrubbing and burnishings because the floor holds up so much longer. Re-coating will be substantially reduced too. In fact, if you'll dilute Top Guard at 3 ounces to the gallon, you can burnish while it's still wet to restore a floor without stripping. You won't have to rinse or dust mop and you'll get a great shine.

Jaw muscle and jaw joint discomfort is commonly associated with bruxing, that is, habitual grinding or clenching of the teeth, particularly at night. Bruxism is a muscle habit pattern that can cause severe wearing of the teeth, and overloading and trauma to the jaw joint structures. Chronically or acutely sore and painful jaw muscles may accompany this bruxing habit. An orthodontist can help diagnose this problem.

While we do not market our product for heartburn, if you check our testimonials you will see that some customers are using them for relief. Mint is probably the best bet. However, our heartburn suggestions include:

If designed correctly, nighttime appliances help keep teeth from moving, protect ceramic restorations, and protect teeth from wear damage caused by grinding or clenching. A night guard is a plastic mouth guard worn at night to help prevent tooth grinding.
