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.

Quote from FaithfulSnail3702 :
I used these when my full coverage appliances were lost.
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
Exactly same thing happened to me. These put way too much pressure on your upper and lower back teeth where the bite guard is located.

Unless you want your teeth cracked, spend the money and get a professionally made mouth guard that will spread the pressure across all your teeth.

Quote from etiRkca :
Packaging says it's intended for use up to 3 days.

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

Yes they start to disintegrate after a few days. Depends on how much you clench or grind. I don't grind, mostly clench and I can use one for about two weeks before little plastic pieces fall off everywhere. Guessing it's a disclaimer to prevent a future class action lawsuit on microplastics. Been using these for years religiously though. It's the only mouth guard I can wear and not feel awkward or generate a ton of saliva. After day 1 I can't even tell when I wear it. I had the molded one custom made at first but I would never wear it, these I have no issues with.

Same, dentists here too, I similarly tell the majority of my patients with bruxism, the most important thing is that you wear it. If you're not sure whether your going to wear it, I really don't want you wasting money on a custom one. I tell them, go get one from the drug store, see if you can tolerate it, but you have to give it at least two weeks of fighting through the awkwardness first.

If you can tolerate it and then you want something better fitting, more resilient and custom, then we can scan you for one. If not, let's not waste the time and money. A good amount of healthcare related issues, the real solutions or ideal management are about owning our issues and our compliance in recommendations.

I'm buying these myself to have samples for patients to try.

I don't grind my teeth but I do "chew" my tongue. It's totally unconscious and worse at night. I found these at the Dollar Tree years ago and they help tremendously. I don't see them anymore there so this is a good deal.
Quote from PrncsNYC :
$4.89 Thank you! I haven't been able to find these at Dollar Tree in years
Yeah, I wonder what happened. They sell 10 varieties of Plackers flossers and dental picks but no more night guards.

Like another poster said, I am afraid I'l choke on these in my sleep. Back sleeper and a bomb won't generally wake me. I can just picture the coroner agonizing over having to decide between Homocide by Plackers or was it Suicide?

I don't see 20% off coupon. Oh well, I should be going back to my custom guard anyways. Paid $290 only to have used it once.

Quote from Selman :
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.
Thanks, appreciate your thoughts on this. I got my sleep study results last week, I'm trying to tackle this from as many different perspectives as I can.
