Can this be used on lower teeth? I am a smallish woman with a lower tooth that is jagged and roughing up the inside of my cheek.

I do not believe so, you can trim it to fit, but most grind guards are designed to be worn over the top in order to protect your teeth from further damage.

Hi, Suz :)The package contained only one mouthpiece, and it was for the top. I'm not sure if they make them for bottom teeth. I just recently started grinding in my sleep. I will say this... the product works well.

Yes. Just use a toothbrush and rubbing alcohol would be fine. I forget what the manual says.

I've had the same problem! I don't think it would make any difference if you treated it any less rough. I think it comes from the continual heat that makes the plastic brittle. I have had them fall off just laying in my cabinet. I bought another one and the heat on it is not enough for my hair so I am not pleased with it at all. I have long hair and the ends get curled but the rest of my hair stays straight. I liked my first one at first but after the teeth fell off It got to where I could not use it. Sorry, wish I could have been more positive and encouraging.

I use warm water, tooth paste and a tooth brush to remove denture adhesive, then soak dentures in a denture cleaning tablet and warm water. I Would like to know if anyone has a method to keep lower denture secure while eating!

Temptooth is really only to be used to replace one tooth. I have been using it for about a year and it really works well. I don't think it would look natural using it for more than one tooth.

Yes .I.dont see why not your going to have to keep your dentures in while you do it and construct the melted plastic material from this and shape a tooth in your case with dentures you can take.them out wpuld prob be better and then mold tooth and wait for it to harden because if you take it out of your.mouth and run material under cold water it hardens so in your case dont run it under cold water just let it air dry. Dont drink hot liquids it will melt. There are denture repair teeth on amazon cheaper in price than this product. Good luck!!

You can use this one for the mouth guards / mouth appliances / mouth splints. It is the same machine that they sell for dental cleaning including dentures. It works great! I use Listerine or that type of product when I put in my mouth appliance, and it comes out great. Then just to be sure, I do a quick brush with the toothbrush and toothpaste after I take it out. The dentist / dental hygienist always comments on how good it looks.

I have lower partials, never tried on them this product. But on top dentures I have not worked with enough to see any positive results. They are not binding material like polygrip or Fixodent.

Hi Bill, I wouldn't know whether it can be used on capped teeth but I do have one capped and use it on that tooth too.

No. Try using an Efferent denture cleaning tablet with hot water. It works great!

If you have the "Bite corrective device" (in this case "Invisalign") inside your mouth, isn't both upper and lower devices? this would already act as a bite guard. If you have only the upper or lower it would be possible to use in addition to the bite corrective device because the Plackers are universal on both upper and lower.

Yes. You would use the round shape end of the scaler for any tight crevices. I highly recommend flossing your teeth first. 1) Remove any unnecessary debris 2) Loosen the adjacent teeth I dont like oral pain, but I would wedge the round sided scalar in between my teeth. At my pain threshold, try to get as much tartar off without inflicting any unbearable pain. I managed to get all of the tartar out. I plan on making a scaling video later this summer. Any other questions? Good Luck.

I don't find it too hard. But it's not as soft as my last one. I have it on the lowest setting when I brush my teeth and that seems to work the best.

O'h dear.There is nothing I can find on the package that says anything about invisalign trays. I have an idea it might be too strong. The best person to ask is your dentist. I would hate to see them ruined. Sorry

I would ask your dentist...if you have invisalign you should have a more professional guard made...this one blows and hurt my front teeth. I would find one that you have to put in hot water to form to the upper teeth if you are going to straightening your teeth in the process. Hope that helps !

I did not try this on partialas I had full dentures. I don't see why it would not at least help as it does improve comfort by providing a cushion between the device and your gum tissue where the two meet.

It is kind of difficult. I used a dental tool purchased from target. However, you do not clean it too well. Small amount of flour left on it will not cause any harm.
