If I buy this and have to get dental work done - is there any way to alter it so it still properly fits in my mouth? Or do I need to buy a new one?

If the dental work changes the shape of your mouth or position of your teeth - then yes you will have ro buy a new one. This is guard is not one that you can boil and reshape. They are custom made to fit exactly.

No. Once you fit it to your mouth, you can trim the excess towards the back to keep it from being too bulk (just be careful as you don't want to take too much off!)

I am not sure you could do this with the correct color and size. Go back to your dentist and discuss your dissatisfaction. Good luck.

Look at the you tube, it will help you get right technique. I love mine. Are you small mouthed, sounds silly, but everyone's mouth is not the same size, including the opening.

Hi Rebecca,Since you already have the Grossan tips, don't buy the Grossan machine again. Get the Via-Jet oral irragator. It is the same machine without the Grosan tips, name, and price. Your Grossan tip will fit fine and you get the oral tips.Here is a link to a better price than the one which I gave in my other post: http://dentist.net/viajet.asp?gclid=CNzW4JC0kpoCFRwDagodUgxCNA You will have to copy it into your browser since I couldn't get it to be a hyper-link.We have to keep the nose Dr. honest.Phil

I have a replica that was molded to conform to my teeth. I put whitening on the front facade conforming to the front of my teeth and insert the replica in my mouth for the night. I get 3 or 4 uses from each syringe. It's an art, but the amount squeezed on has to be just sufficient to do the job. It's easy to put on too much.

I have a small mouth too as my dentist tells me. It fits fine. I find that as I grind the mouth guard it spreads a little which is still a good fit for my mouth. I tend to replace mine every other month. The best part is that it is BPA free. BPA raises your estrogen levels which too much causes cancer cells to activate.

I did have a little of an impression from my bottom teeth. What seems to hold it in place is the mild around the front teeth and the molding on the roof of your mouth. The first time it fit perfectly after 2 attempts at molding but the last one I purchased, my second, I had a hard time getting a really great fit even after 3 tries. I decided to just leave it, it doesn't fall out but can be easily removed with just my tongue, packaging says it should be more difficult to remove than that. Anyhow, I didn't want to keep messing with it because I was afraid to ruin itAnd I haven't had it fall out on me so far. I did have a little of an impression from my bottom teeth.

hi Matt, Sorry we can't. But we can use the mold or your teeth impression if you have either one. Or you can just take a new impression from the kit you receive after you order. We won't stop until your guard is of perfect fit. Sarah

depends on what your sucking up, I use an old tooth brush to clean the filter..I have yet to change the filter and really don't foresee issues with the filter..

I am not sure I finished my answer. I bought very thin trays that you can mold by dipping in hot water. When you buy this product at the dentist they give you custom trays.

Yes, you absolutely can. The great thing about this product is that it molds, so you can actually mold it around existing teeth parts/fragments. :)

I rinse it with warm water, sometimes a little soap or mouthwash... After drying it with a clean towel, I simply store it in the cabinet right next to my toothbrush.. It is a little big, but it's not a Huge problem.. if you stand it up(like it's pictured) it won't take up too much space.

Yes it works. I had to get used to it but it is better than paying the dentist $1600.00. It covers the teeth so they don't grind.When this one I am using wears out I and going to see if I can cut the new one on the sides and wherever necessary before I mold it to see if I can use it on my lower teeth.I got the 2 for 1 order so I have another pair to use if the modify doesn't work

I think it may be too big. It even feels big for my mouth and I am 50. Perhaps you can check the over the counter mouthguards they sell for young athletes. Good luck.
