Anybody here sleep with or wear mouthpiece for teeth grinding/clenching?

Yup, I wear one every night. Canines are ground down to its flat.

A friend of mine is a dental tech so he made it for me (fits the grooves of my teeth), but he said even the OTC mouthguards are just as good.

The entire point is to reduce teeth-on-teeth grinding

I think the one I get from dentist is maybe $150-300, can’t remember exact amount. I think it’s basically an Invisalign type mouthpiece. Stiff but thin, so it’s not like a thick football guard to protect from injury but keeps teeth from contacting each other.

ETA: I use this kind also as a retainer to keep teeth from shifting. If you just worry about grinding, I’d imagine anything that keeps your teeth from touching would work.

<$20 at Walmart

You can try the OTC versions first if you like. That's what my dentist initially told me to. I ground through those in short order and I also cracked some teeth. Dentist made me one which was about the same cost you quoted. I ground through that one pretty quickly also. She made another one with a sturdier material which has lasted a lot longer than the previous ones, but I'm starting to crack it, also. Had to get some crowns on the damaged teeth and she makes me a new one at no extra cost when we do that.

I don't grind when I'm awake. I clench on occasion when I'm on the computer working, but not much.

It's not at as bulky as I expected. Fits well and sometimes, I forget to take it out as soon as I get up.

My dentist recommended I wear a thin one during the day, so it's almost invisible and a thicker one at night. I started with the thin one at night to get used to it, but I ended up fraying the ends which caused a different problem. Now, I only wear the thick guard at night, and have since lost the thin guard.

I had mine molded at my dentist office (think I paid $500 for the pair) and it has lasted over 7 years. I brush it every morning after I take it out. I let it sit in an empty glass during the day. When I get ready for bed at night, I soak it in a glass of mouth wash. Every 1-2 weeks I brush it with baking soda, then soak it in white vinegar.

I wear on every night. It takes a week or so to get used to but now I cannot sleep without it. I originally got one from the dentist. When it wore out, I have gotten them from Wal Mart.

This is the one I get LINK

That is the one I use.

My doctor suggested that I start getting Botox in my jaw to keep me from grinding through the night guard. Has anyone tried that?

I’ve used one for years. My dentist had it made and fitted it for me. It’s holding up well.

I’ve had it so long I can’t remember what it cost. A few hundred I would guess.

Yes. I bought one from Walgreens for like $10 and it works fine.
