I'm a dentist. It's my first line recommendation for bruxism. Not necessarily these, but any $30 Walgreens option so long as the patient will actually wear it. If it works, that's great. I've never met a single dentist that hates these, and I've met a lot more than you. It would be great if you didn't disparage an entire profession of people that really care and dedicate the majority of their lives to it. Pretty scummy.

What dentists hate are patients that don't treat their bruxism, develop the need for full mouth restoration, and then complain that they need a lot of dentistry while wanting some magical low-cost repair. Wear the nightguard and pay a fair price for another dentist, and they won't care about which nightguard you use if the attrition stops.
What you are demonstrating is sampling bias based on limited anecdotal experience. A lot of sources would hold that the typical minimum sample size would be about 1500 to able to extrapolate to the US population, but I get you can't do that at the individual level.

The trouble with trying to tell anything from your statement is we don't know if you encountered three bad dentists (which I would believe would be highly unlikely unless you are a cheapskate going to a corporate practice like Aspen for "free exams") or if you could be correctly diagnosed by three dentists and still incapable of understanding why. We just can't tell. You likely don't even know if you have posterior or canine guidance, but you believe you are armed with the information to state emphatically that those three other people are wrong and/or unethical.

You missed the point that these, and similar bruxism devices, are typically in the $20-30 range at Walgreens. These can be good, some boil and bites can work, and custom occlusal guards can too. The number one factor is compliance - it has to actually be worn.
It's really not the place for a mega discussion on bruxism, but I'll just give you a few facts and then you can go read. Also, realize that day and night bruxism differ as one is behavioral while one is unconscious:

1.) Prevalence of bruxism is far and away highest in children and is generally self limiting.

2.) If you have significant wear from bruxism, you also have a problem with acid.

3.) People with bruxism are far more likely to also have sleep apnea.

4.) A large neck is associated with bruxism.

Yes. It is impossible to bite your cheek with these in place.

I can only relate to my personal experience. 3 out of 3 allows me to draw my conclusion confidently. Does it represent every dentist? Obviously no, but one could say the thing about any poll that is taken because ALL polls are taken from a relatively small number of people but then [supposedly] scientifically extrapolated to a whole population of people.

So what exactly is better about the Walgreens $30 version vis-à-vis this $1 version?

What you are demonstrating is sampling bias based on limited anecdotal experience. A lot of sources would hold that the typical minimum sample size would be about 1500 to able to extrapolate to the US population, but I get you can't do that at the individual level.

These are great! I have been using them for years when I originally discovered them in the [then] $1 stores. They are very comfortable and don't require any fitting at all.

Despite advertised as disposable, you really don't need to replace them often at all. I have been wearing the same $1 unit for probably a year now. I have a glass of water with a few drops of bleach next to the bed that I drop the nightguard it in each morning.

I previously had a custom nightguard from a dentist that cost something like $300, for a simple molded piece of plastic. But it was uncomfortable and would often wind up out of my mouth, maybe even across the room in the morning.

Dentists HATE these because they are so simple, so cheap and don't require any "fitting". But based on my experiences, after having mentioned these to 3 different dentists over the years, that they will try strongly to dissuade you from using one with all sorts of nonsense FUD.

Will try this. Also have a custom night guard but like you, I find it really uncomfortable so don't use it. For this price, I'll give these a shot

Obviously you can't give official medical advice in a Slickdeals forum, but my daughter grinds her teeth so hard it wakes me up if she's next to me (she's 6 and sometimes sleeps in Mom's bed, I'm in an adjustable bed next to it. It's not some weird shit). We're waiting to get her into her dentist, would this be a good stop-gap? It started suddenly after she got a couple really bad cavities.

I might give this a try for traveling.

I got a few different one made by my dentist but anything bigger than 1mm I just can't stand it. Now days I get the ~$120 bucks one from Amazon (Encore brand) where they sent you the material to made a mold to sent to them to make one. It's almost identical to the one I get from my dentist.

Speaking of Aspen, I still remember when I visited them many many years ago. Had this "office manager" sit down with me to go over "my treatment plan". Entire thing felt like dealing with used car sales. I left and never gone back. Ended up asking around at work for recommendation.

I got great dentist now who I found through recommendation of my local dental society. I found that in every profession there are people who really are "geeks" vs some who just want to collect a paycheck and I'm glad I found "dental geek".

Believe it or not, there is no consensus on the treatment of bruxism in children. The problem with occlusal splints during youth is that they actually alter skeletal growth, so I'd advise against it. Nevermind that her arches are likely too narrow for this.

What likely happened with your daughter is that she already had cavities. They were lesions between her teeth called "Class II" lesions. They weakend the ridges on the side of the tooth, and the grinding broke off the enamel so you could see them. Don't feel bad, dentists can't even see most small Class II lesions. That's why xrays exist.

My advice is to decrease the intake of fermentable carbs (e.g. juice and crackers), increase water as the primary drink, brush at least 4 minutes per day with anticavity toothpaste, and see a dentist for periodic check up to catch potential lesions earlier. The only stop gap now is reducing sugar and remineralizing the teeth as much as possible with anticavity toothpaste until she can get in. If she gets in with a pediatric dentist, I strongly advise maintaining that relationship as children who don't have much dental experience prior to their first cavity can be more difficult to treat.

I'm glad your little girl isn't hurting, but if you can see the cavity then it's massive. Don't be alarmed if she needs a "baby tooth root canal" (pulpotomy) and a crown. If you see one overt cavity, there's very likely multiple others. We are blessed with a second set, and that baby molar will be replaced at about 9-11 years old. It's all going to be okay, and we just take it as a chance to learn since the permanents are starting to come in right now.
