Is it better to have this for the top or bottom teeth? What is the difference? Thanks!

I cannot answer what the difference would be since I am not a doctor. I can tell you my son wanted it to be the lower teeth thinking he could speak better with it in. When the kit came, it was for upper teeth and we took the impression and had it made for uppers. He really likes it! He does lisp a little if it is in but since he only needs to wear it for sleeping or long car rides with stress, he is still quite happy. I would say it is a personal decision whether to make one for the upper or the lower teeth.

Does this nightguard relieve jaw and neck pain due to clenching? I have a really hard acrylic splint that has done nothing for me and makes the pain worse. Was hoping this would help.

I have always had night guards for my upper teeth, never for the bottom. WebMD says that upper night guards are the norm though lower night guards might done due to braces etc. It also says to consult with your dentist. In the past I have been recommended a night guard by dentists and have purchased them through dentists but was very put off by the price tag they wanted. The dental assistants suggested there was not much difference between what I could get from the secondary market from what the dentist would provide. Which is why I ordered this one which I have been suing with no problems since March. Having used both I can verify for myself that there is not much difference. Hope this helps!

I got mine for the bottom, since I figured it would fit snugger longer as I have a missing tooth up top and I clamp down so very hard and grind, don't see that it would make that much difference, just a preference for me.

i would assume good for both. my dad only got one set, not both. he loves it better than the one from the dentist. i am unsure of the difference, but his word is that its great! hope this helps!

I believe the top is better. I played a lot of sports we always had the top protected and it seemed more comfortable.

I purchased it for the top teeth and it works quite well. I guess it's just a matter of personal preference - I've had retainers in the past that were just for the top, so it was the natural choice.

You can use either side to be top or bottom. One side has more of texture for when they are needing traction to crawl, the other is slick/soft with no ridges.

yes. with this product you make a mold of your current teeth. the finished product is a retainer which will hold your teeth in place and prevent further shifting. you can use it for 1 top or 1 bottom, not top and bottom; however they do sell a product to do both.

I got this just for my bottom teeth. While nothing is as good as our real teeth this works wonderfully for me. I can now eat whatever I want. Still have problems with food getting under my teeth but I just have to rinse them off and all better! I use this all the time now. Good luck!

No, its not intended to move teeth but simply protect them should you gring the uppers against the lower teeth, like a night grinder would

I have used them both and they are both good products in my opinion. My whole family and friends who have dentures use this denture liner and find good results. Hope this is of help for you. Randy

I'm not sure what the difference is? Maybe it has something to do with spacing or depth of the teeth on the brush? Not sure - sorry!

It's personal preference. I find that the day white is stronger than the night white which could be because day white has a shorter processing time. I only use the whitening for a week after I visit the dentist twice a year

I have upper dentures, if it works half as good on lowers as it does the uppers, you won't have anything to worry about. Secure works 'much better' than anything else that I have bought. Get it, you will be glad you did.

The Periodontal Floss has a much thicker brush section and stiffer threader end. These work better for my two fixed bridges. I've tried a lot of flosses and threaders and this is the best for me.

Yes, the kit will work for either upper OR lower teeth. It comes with two different sized trays depending upon the size of your mouth.

The makers say you should not use if you have missing teeth. I think there may be a choking hazzard, but I'm not sure. If I were your friend, I would suggest to not use them if you have no top teeth.

Our products are same as dentist get, as we are a professional dental lab providing same products for dentist offices and the dentist offices don't make night guard themselves. But do note that each dental lab or dentist office use different material, technique and equipment. This night guard is for SEVERE teeth grinding. And if you follow our simple instruction and take the impression accurately, there should be problems with the fit or locking onto the teeth. Whether upper or lower is personal preference. If you have missing or loose tooth on upper part of your teeth, we'd suggest LOWER night guard. And vise versa for UPPER night guard.

You only need one or the other depending on what you find most comfortable. If you have severe grinding I would get the one rated for heavy grinding. I got the dual layer one for moderate grinding and chewed through that in a few months. Now I'm on the heavy duty one and it seems to be holding up well. Also, I recommend paying $5 extra to keep the mold of your teeth on file to save on future purchases.

I leave in clear water, instead in a denture holder. As for both upper and lower fitting.... I only have an upper and it fits with room to spare. My guess is both would fit. Leaving in solution overnight is not necessary because the unit cleans dentures very efficiently in the 15 minutes it's on plus we're advised to thoroughly rinse dentures after each cleaning.

Hello, You can either take an upper or lower teeth impression with the materials received. The lab will then make a custom night guard according to which teeth impression you take either for the upper or lower teeth.

yes, most of the time it stays right in place, once in a great while, it may come lose and then I still might be able to put it back in place, sometimes getting a new piece is the best option. Overall, I love it to help with the discomfort and hardly ever have to readjust, even after eating. I may tend to eat on one side of my mouth if it is on the other side, but I think I do this more so it will be easier to clean up teeth after I eat, usually when I'm out and about. It is soooo much better than wax. I can never eat with the wax, always gets mixed up with it and always have to reapply the wax. It's a little expensive, but I couldn't live without it.
