Yes, I grind my teeth at night, something my pert little dental hygienist feels compelled to nag me about every time I'm in for a check-up. The thing is, the night guards that the average dentist office wants to make for you cost upwards of $500! Can you believe it? $500 for a little bite-sized piece of polymer! So, when I happened across this product on Amazon.com for a fraction of the cost, I thought about it for a good, long while. Then I dismissed the notion, assuming that it was probably no different than those do-it-yourself jobbies that are commonly available at your local pharmacy. I tried one of those once, where you boil the stuff and then chomp down on it to mold it to your bite. The biggest problem with it was that the end-product was so bulky and awkward that it felt like I was sleeping with a Cadillac Escalade in my mouth.

Studying this item a little more closely, and reading the (then) sole review, I eventually got off the fence and decided to give it a try. And... I was pleasantly surprised! The kit arrived in my mailbox promptly, with all the necessary components, instructions and a post-paid return mailer. Making the impression was a little dicey (make sure that you lean back and relax while the polymer sets -- otherwise you might gag and/or drool a bit), but once it hardened (5 minutes), it popped right off without incident. Then, after a cold rinse of water to help the material set harder, I was shipping it back to the seller, who speedily returned to me a compact little guard (just like one that you'd get back from your dentist's lab) and a protective case. It works great!

One note: I experienced a slight reservation when I noted that: 1] the seller (Touch of White Smile) appears to work out of his/her home (a residential address -- or so it seemed -- on the return mailer), and 2] the home-made instructions needed a little tweaking in the grammar/spelling department. However, whether the seller is a dental student or a professional who works at home to save on overhead or simply an enterprizing entrepreneur, the product I received is in every way a good one, and not the only item offered in this seller's line: whiteners and sports guards are also his/her forte. So, if you suffer from Bruxism (I assumed it was named after some early scientist/dentist guy named "Brux" who coined the term, but Wikipedia says that it's "from the Greek "brugmós" which means "gnashing of teeth"), and you don't want to pay a zillion times too much at your dental office, then give this seller a try.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not too impressed, April 14, 2011

The device I received was defective. It has painfully sharp edges and an uncomfortable ridge right where the tongue rests. I can not keep it in my mouth for more than a few seconds without it being overly irritating.

Buyer beware - you may get a good product. But if you do not, the company will not work with you to correct the problem. Also, please note there are no instructions for what to do if you are unhappy - you are on your own and out $60.

** UPDATE **
Well it took a little time, but Amazon pulled through for me (thanks Amazon - you guys rock!). I submitted a claim file, which was originally "refused" by Amazon after they contacted "Touch of White Smile". I then submitted a rather lengthy rebuttal to Amazon, indicating my position and clearly communicating all the facts. Amazon looked into the matter and after a more careful review they agreed with my position and provided a full refund. It is unfortunate that the folks at "Touch of White Smile" could not have been more sensitive to their customers and done this on their own.

Like I said originally - Buyer Beware!

** UPDATE #2 **
I have to question the validity of many of these other "reviews". Seriously, the vast majority of these reviews are by single review, reviewers (I know - sounds odd). But just take a look at all of the people who have signed up, posted a single & positive review about this one item and nothing else - EVER. It is more than a little strange, it is scandalous.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why pay $500 at dentist for the same thing?, February 14, 2011

This review is from: PROFESSIONAL CUSTOM DENTAL NIGHT GUARD FOR BRUXISM (Grinding Teeth) SLEEP GOOD. PROTECT YOUR TEETH FROM NIGHT GRINDING

When my dentists told me I had to get a guard to keep from grinding for $500 I almost fell out. I have have 5 fillings replaced because of my grinding so what am spost to say, no thanks..they got me by my short and curlies. Or do they? This product is almost if not exactly what my dentist was going to do. Create a mold, ship it off, get the final product, charge me $500 thank you very much. Now for $50, I get the same result and get a professionally designed grind guard molded to my teeth. I have posted images with notes above please check them out cause they are WAY better than the picture they use on this page. What comes with this product when you buy it:

1) Molding putty (2 containers blue/white that are blended together in mold)
2) Molds (1 large/1 small)
3) Prepaid padded envelope to mail back mold after imprint
4) Printed instructions ( bad picture quality on the pics printed on them but you get the idea)

Mixing/molding = easy just be aware when you push this into your mouth and push it up against your teeth the putty has to go somewhere when it is displaced. I found the extra trying to go down the back of my throat the fist time and had a gag thing going on. Popped out the mold, reshaped the putty to a more reasonable shape and had waaaay better time. The mold came out very easy. See above pic of results.

Sent back molds (they want back the one you don't use also) in the provided prepaid envelope and got it back in about 8 days.

Very happy with it, very solid, and looks like it will take the wear and tear that it should. Should I be proven wrong I will write an update with the life span. The clock starts today (2/14/11).
