Updated review: I will shortly be purchasing my third one of these guards. It is still cheaper than paying hundreds at the dentist and having the custom guard only last a couple of months longer than these. I have also been shopping around for other DIY guards, and this one is the best deal that I have found. Your experience, of course, may vary -- if you don't like this style or the material, perhaps. Sometimes it takes more tries to get the fit right. But in my opinion, it's still a good deal, and it beats grinding. Now, back to my original review...

This is my second do-it-yourself grind guard (I tried the "Dental Hygiene" one first). Before that I have had over twenty years of the custom kind from the dentist, but they just got too expensive and my most recent one wore out too quickly.

The little tab on this one is an interesting feature. You hold it by the tab to dunk it in the hot water for shaping, and then lift it out (and the hot water runs off -- it's the water, not the guard, that can burn you at this stage). After you have molded it to your satisfaction, you cut off the tab. I didn't get a smooth surface at the cut spot yet, but it's good enough, and it beat having to maneuver it with tongs.

This guard seems to be a firmer "plastic" than the other one I tried, and I have hope that perhaps it will last longer. It took two tries, then I got a very good fit and it stays on well.

I do prefer the retainer style, that I got from my first dentist way back when, but I haven't had another opportunity to get one of them.

Good luck.

My $500. night guard from my dentist just gave out so I bought this grind guard. I love it. it fits perfectly. It's softer than my dentist's model which is better for all my grinding.

I have a small mouth and this product works for me. When I first opened the package I thought there was no way that this would work but once I trimmed it and boiled it I was surprised! This fits quite comfortably. I am able to close my mouth around it which I couldn't with another guard that I bought that was much more expensive. I like the rounded edges - nothing boxey in my mouth. I can't believe this quality and comfort for such a small price.
