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.
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.
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.

Is there some reason not to use it for longer? Does the material break down very quickly?

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.

I feel these focus too much pressure on one tooth.
I blame them for causing one of my teeth to crack, though it did have a large filling in it (and I'm old).
If you have the money and time, I'd suggest the kits you can get on Amazon where you take an impression of teeth,then they make a thin full coverage appliance.
I even like the thicker, hard. boil and bite ones (not the soft type). One is called SOVA Night Guard - 1.6mm Thin - Custom-Molded Fit

If you have time for another question: I have a night guard made by my dentist that I use every night while at home. I am considering buying this, or a similar option, to keep in my travel kit in case I forget or break the guard I normally use.
Additionally, for reasons of laziness...er...and efficiency, I'm trying to get my travel kit to have a duplicate of everything I normally take without having to remember to put anything in it in the morning. I could just get another guard professionally made, but for short-term or emergency uses, am hoping I could get by well enough with something simpler and cheaper. Would you advise doing this, or should I keep using the guard I have and only use these in an emergency situation?
Bonus question if you're willing to work overtime for free

I don't trust these doctors, as I feel like their solemn purpose is to sell me stuff I don't even need. But will definitely try this just for the sake of experiment. Thanks OP
