Yeah, I should have mentioned it's going to be custom made. Should be around $400. Standard?

serious advice time: have the dentist make a custom mouthguard for you - it'll fit much better than an off-the-shelf one and it'll last nearly forever.

Also, clean it with denture cleaner. Often.

Exactly. This is what I use. Oh, and don't drink pop.

My mom, my bro, and possibly me now.
Im not sure if I am also afflicted. I have had an ache in my right jaw for 3 days. My mom has had sleep grinding problems and my brother just started getting them. What are the sypmptoms.

I grind my teeth hudge while sleeping. My enamel is shot as a result. Dentist says I should sleep with one of these for the rest of my life, or I'll have a hard time fighting cavities.

Anyone suck as much as I do?

Yep, been there. My grinding was so bad it caused TMJ [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I have one of these but cant keep it in my mouth for more than 20 seconds. Same with the sports guards. How hard is it to make one much thinner? Eventually Ill get the dentist one, probably after I grind my bottom teeth out.

I had one of the ones he posted. You custom mold them to fit your teeth. The one I had fit fine with a little modification.

Re: Beat: anti teeth-grinding apparatus

Sounds about right. I find mine to be pretty comfortable, which says a lot since I usually gag on stuff like that (could never stand wearing my retainer as a teenager, etc.)
