I am a night clencher, not a grinder, and after wasting good money on a boil-fixed, teeth-molded dental guard that was uncomfortable and hard, I invested in this guard of different design. What a major difference: it is comfortable; easy to get used to; of softer, cushioning plastic; and supportive of mouth relaxation during sleep. This item is the middle level of three products by this company and has the advantage over the first by having retaining wings to prevent slippage. If you are a grinder, I do not know how well the guard will stand up to the rubbing and friction (it is guaranteed for 3 months), but for clenchers, it is excellent.

I have used night guards of all types for many years. I have paid $500 for the custom fit plastic guards from dentists to $20 for "The Doctor's" boil-to-fit guards (which I could never find a size that quite fit right and several times ruined them in the process of boiling and fitting). All of them usually ended up somewhere besides my mouth within a few hours of going to sleep. Regardless of price, none of them lasted much longer than 1-2 months for me. And, with the boil-to-fit guards, they are such a hassle that I found myself going without.

I found this product on sale somewhere for $29 and figured it worth a try. I have been using for two months and have yet to wake up without it still in my mouth. It works great, fits comfortably and has held up reasonably well. Though, I am certain it won't make it the three months they guarantee it for so we'll see how many times they will replace it under warranty. Don't fault this product though - every dentist I've seen says I have the worst grinding problem they have seen. I usually crack their professional versions w/in a week.

This would get 5-stars except the price is 2x other over-the-counter offerings and the guaranteed durability for average users is only 3-months. If this was always $29 or closer to $20, definitely a 5-star product.

The only problem with this product is that the bite pads fell apart after six months of use. One day they were fine. The next they both fell apart. Other than that this was a good solution for me. I have a persistent problem with teeth grinding. In the past I've used a sports mouth guard which worked alright but was difficult to clean and hard on my front teeth and mouth. I decided to try this product and have been satisfied. It leaves a nice gap between your teeth and stays in all night. It's very comfortable. The price for this product is very reasonable. The product was shipped and delivered promptly. The Splintek company makes a product called the Advanced that they say is more durable. If you go with this one (the Select) I recommend you buy two in case the first one wears out.

I really love the design of this product. I have tried many different night guards and this is definitely my favorite as far as comfort. The problem I had was exorbitant cost and durability.
I bought this in the first place because my dentist quoted me at $500 for an acrylic night guard. Presumably, the Sleep Right would be a better option, but for $40 each, they don't last long. I found that I ground through mine in about 30 days. I would actually give Sleep Right a glowing review if they let you buy the replacement grind pads for a reasonable price or if they gave you a few extra grind pads per pack...but since you have to buy the entire set with the main piece that holds the pads, carrying case, and packaging, this turns into a $500/year investment that is no longer worth it. Like I said, great design, but they are pricing themselves right past the more durable versions you can get specially fitted at the dentist.

I have used this product for a few years and I love it. The night guard I got from the dentist fell apart the first night! I have had 3 of the Sleep Right guards, when I first got it, I clenched really hard, it lasted almost a year, the second one I lost, and this time, I am sure will last lots longer because it has actually taught me to lessen the grip at night. Definitely recommend this!

I just woke up after the second night of wearing this nightguard. If your dentist told you you have to wait and save to buy a custom night guard, ignore him and go buy this product. I woke up today without the dull headache I have had for so many years, I can't remember when they started. I have no pain and tension in my jaw, which is a miracle. I feel like I'm a new person practically. Best 40 bucks I've ever spent in my whole life.

The pads were too think for me which put added pressure on my jaw joints. I am going to try the smaller one next.

I paid $400 for a custom dental guard which my dog promptly ate. Paid ANOTHER $400 for a replacement, which I finally chewed apart. Tried the kind you have to boil, then fit while it's warm - that didn't work out for me. This item fits great and does the job, and it's a whole lot cheaper than a custom made one. Very highly recommended.

I grind my teeth when I sleep, pretty severely. I've had a variety of night guards, from the 400 dollar custom made to the cheap-o sports guards. I keep coming back to this one. Its not ideal -- the front strap in front of the bottom teeth doesn't adjust enough, for instance. But it does stand up to my grinding, and there's very little adjusting to make it fit for me. And when I grind through it, it's not such a big deal, since these are relatively inexpensive.

After five or six nights, right after getting used to it, it broke up. Materials are very lousy, and even though it is a good idea, the product is bad, and pretty expensive for what you get in exchange.
