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

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

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.

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.

We recommend to start out for a couple of hours the first few days, until you get used to The StressGard? Nightguard. After that it can be worn all night and during the day when you find yourself grinding or clenching.

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.

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.

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.

The Tomb is guarded 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In fact, there has been a Sentinel on duty in front of the Tomb every minute of every day since 1937. And the Sentinel does not change the way he guards the Tomb, even at night when there is no one around. The Sentinels do this because they feel that the Unknown Soldiers who are buried in the Tomb deserve the very best they have to give.

Whenever he or she is in an activity with a risk of falls or of head contact with other players or equipment. This includes football, baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey, skateboarding, even gymnastics.

Yes, but only after you break it in thoroughly and practice sleeping, otherwise it may permanently twist and torque so that you cannot straighten it up even when you wear it during the day.
