5.0 out of 5 stars but not in an over constrictive way like some mouth guards

m.l.r. · 20 May 2016

Expensive for what it is... But an absolute godsend for me... If you've been constantly waking up with banging tension headaches then there's a chance you are a nighttime teethgrinder or clenched, this eradicate both and won't let your teeth come together, but not in an over constrictive way like some mouth guards. It's small and unobtrusive sitting on the bottom jaw. I've gone from a blinding tension headache most mornings to absolutely none since I started wearing this. 100% recommended .

5.0 out of 5 stars so happy

I have tried so many mouthguards and this by far is the best and most comfortable. TMJ is not a joke and the pain is awful. I have started to very quickly manage this using the guard. Its great that you get 2 guards and a handy carry pouch too. I would and do highly recommend this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pretty much just a torture device - whose idea was this?

This seemed like a great design - two bite pads connected by a discreet soft wire sounded like just what I was looking for. And, it's adjustable! Fantastic.Unfortunately, whoever at DenTek was in charge of making it adjustable is a sadist. At least, I can't think of any other reason. They have accomplished this by using a notch design - the wire itself has five different notches, which slip firmly into the corresponding five notches on the bite pad itself to adjust the length of the wire between the two pads. An effective solution.However, the designer - for some ungodly reason - has elected to place these notches on the INSIDE of the bite pad, facing the gum - as opposed to on the outside, facing the cheek. Thus, whenever you bite down on the pad, you are rewarded with five notches of bite pad poking firmly into your gum surrounding your bottom molars, regardless of how you might decide to adjust it. If you're anything like me, you'll bite down every few seconds - so at an average of one bite every 10 seconds, you can expect to be poked in the gum by these five notches around 2,880 times over an eight-hour night. On each side.The effect of this is that the gums around the bottom of my back lower molars are chafed to the point that chewing my breakfast stings. The acid in the orange juice burns. My gums bleed when I brush my teeth. My jaw is fine though, I guess.There is no possible way this product has been clinically tested, since it is immediately apparent you're getting gum-bashed the moment you put it in. All the designer at DenTek had to do was invert the adjustment mechanism so that the notches are on the outside. The fact that they didn't, leaves me to only conclude that they must be fond of torture.Seriously, DenTek. Your product is garbage. Find your masochist designer, and fire them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Saved me £300

L. · 25 January 2024

I was skeptical after reading the mixed reviews but with the NHS band 3 charge for a night guard being £300 I figured it wouldn't hurt to try this first. It takes some getting used to and isn't as snug of a fit as a custom guard but I like that it isn't a full coverage mouth guard as I previously had a retainer and found this super uncomfortable. All in all it does the job - it stops my teeth from grinding and helps alleviate some of the tension in my jaw and headaches. Definitely worth a try!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for me

I couldn't get along with these after trying several others too :( Not comfortable for me.Too much on the 'bite' bit but guess thats needed for real chompers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget the rest; this is the best! And so easy.

I also read the reviews for this and other guards with dismay, as I urgently needed to counteract the pain from a new night-grinding habit, the ‘try not to; try to de-stress’ advice being useless as I don’t do it deliberately and I’m not stressed! (I have seen a dentist; it’s not anything else more serious.)Anyway, I found it very easy to fit; I just pushed the blue bits forward a little to suit my very ordinary mouth shape & size. It took hardly anything to get used to - they suggest wearing it for an hour before bedtime the first night - and I slept through without noticing it.And best of all… no jaw pain today!!! So it works!!!

First time user of guards, so not qualified to make a comparison. I can say that after wearing for an hour to get used to the flimsy piece of plastic (as the instructions state) I still get the occasional gag sensation which is very uncomfortable, not sure if i will have the confidence to wear to bed. I must point out that for £33 you do get very little indeed, if you were out shopping and saw this item on sale for a fiver you would probably give it a go if you felt flush. It is a lot of money to 'waste' on a maybe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent. Designed for its purpose.

T. · 2 May 2015

In my opinion a great product. Two in the box so good value too. I found it to be easy to adjust and comfortable to use. It seems to me to be designed for its purpose rather than a rehash/repurposed sports guard which type I found far less comfortable to wear and caused an unpleasant buildup of saliva.This type requires no heating to fit, is probably as unobtrusive as possible and easy to get on with. I would have no hesitation in recommending these to any sufferer of bruxism.

Not that comfortable

It helps with the grinding, but not comfort

Comfy Fit

First time needing or purchasing a night guard and I could not be more pleased with this purchase, and this product.I’m currently in the middle of some dental work so I was hesitant to invest in a guard that would be useless after each dental procedure.Obviously this guard doesn’t offer a perfect snug fit since it’s not one that you can heat and mold, but for my current situation, this is absolutely perfect.

Low-Profile Solution

R.B. · 26 May 2025

JAW PAIN AND CLENCHING. I've struggled with TMD (TMJ) for a few years now, and the disorder is absolutely miserable and unrelenting. Sometimes, I cry at night and feel miserable and hopeless about it because there was nothing that helped. I was stuck! The Dentek device now gives me something to try that works better than everything else, and I have literally spent $100s of US dollars on multiple other devices and remedies.The jaw muscle is incredibly strong. No one realizes this until you have a problem. When my jaw acts up, there's nothing I can do to relax it. My symptoms get really bad, my jaw starts clicking, my jaw won't stop clenching, and it's painful to eat and talk, the night brace helps keep my back teeth apart offering me some relief.DESCRIPTION. It's lower profile (thinner) with two small T-shaped shields that position between your back teeth. TIP: I don't put it on my back teeth because of my gag reflex. Then, there's about a 3 inch adjustable band that connects the two shield pieces. This piece has a flatter profile against your teeth. It fits into the top of the shield pieces. It clicks 4-5 spots into the shield pieces on each side so you can get the perfect fit for your sized mouth/teeth. While the shields go between your back teeth, the connecting band goes on the front of your upper teeth.EASY TO USE. The device is straight forward and simple to use. There is nothing to boil and shape. There is nothing to trim. It's ready to go when you open it. Obviously, clean it before putting in your mouth is important. All you have to do is put it in your mouth. The big parts that look like shields go between your back teeth. The thin connector goes in front of your upper teeth. If it doesn't fit perfectly, take it out and make it bigger or smaller. Then, try it again until it's customized to your unique mouth.STORAGE BOX. It comes with a storage box for daytime storage. However, when your jaw gets bad, you can pull it out for daytime wear to give your clenched jaw some relief. Rinse the device and box daily. Actually, the storage box is also pretty clever too. It has holes in the top and bottom to dry everything out. It has some internal slats on the bottom of the container to keep the device from laying flat in the box. This helps prevent bacterial growth, and as a nurse I really like that.GETTING USED TO IT. Because of my gag reflex, and I just don't like weird devices in my mouth. So, I didn't like it at first. I had to try it a few nights to get used to it. TIP: I would try it out for a few hours every evening after dinner to get used to it. Put it in after dinner when you're watching TV or reading so you're distracted and not obsessing about something new being in your mouth. If that trial goes well, try it overnight.Honestly, there's nothing else that works better to give your back teeth clenching relief from the incessant pain and pressure. If you are desperate and tried everything else like me, give this Dentek device a try.OTHER DEVICES. For $25, it's more expensive than others. The other appliances out there are good ideas, but are way too thick and trigger my gag reflex. They fill my mouth with thick plastic, when I just needed help on my back teeth. Also, some are so thick and awkward, they made my bite even worse. I don't need a device to make my bite worse, I have enough troubles.RECOMMENDATION. All mouth appliances feel weird in your mouth, but if you must use something, Dektek Mouth Guard is definitely the best! Believe me, I have tried a lot of them. All good ideas, but way too bulky. Some other devices even made my problems worse. But this device is the lowest profile out there while still being safe so you don't choke on it. It is a really smart device. I would highly recommend it for relief from devastating jaw pain and tension!

Excelente producto, muy durable, no guarda olores y cómodo para dormir. Se puede ajustar a diferentes tamaños. Una buena opción si no cuentas con guardas a tu medida.
