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.

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
There is truth to that. A couple grams of force for 8 hours a day will generate sufficient orthodontic force to move teeth. Will the amount of orthodontic movement be noticeable? That's a much more difficult question.
If you need a retainer after undergoing orthodontics, you definitely want custom retention. If you have abrasive crowns in your mouth, you should probably consider a custom guard.
One of the purposes of custom guards is to separate the teeth enough to attempt to deactivate the masseter from clenching. A dentist will often utilize a leaf gauge to make sure the appliance is adequately thick for this. Unfortunately, that necessarily means a bulkier appliance. You tried the cheap therapy. Maybe try another. If that doesn't work, maybe try a custom. I'd try a sleep study or some stress reduction techniques to look for potential exacerbations.

These are a tad thicker but overall feel is VERY similar. It is thicker where you usually grind so it does last quite awhile and at a fraction of the price 22 for 2 months pretty much. Would tell you to give anyone to give it a try if plackers go up in price. Ive had a dentist mouthguard but it kept falling out and was super thick all the way around. I am sure they are better for you but I kept waking up with them under me and i had to clean them and netted little time with them on while sleep was probably minimal. Sometimes you have to make a call for your self. These light weight stay in for me all night, granted prolly a higher risk of choking on them lol...lets not think about that..., and I like the light feel.
I do feel a difference in the morning, I guess I do grind a lot when i sleep.
also yeah yeah go back to the dentist to get it resized...I did twice and gave up. My be incompetent dentist but they sure didnt care after I got the guard and told me to blindly keep using it, and it is just how it is....

How to you fix it? I ask my dentist and he said that it'll get better with time
