This review is from the perspective of a nighttime user, not an athlete. As a disclaimer, Shock Doctor does state that this product is not intended for overnight use.I've been grinding and clenching my teeth for about 15 years. I've done it so badly that I've caused fracturing and chipping on my teeth and have even ground right through fillings (not cheap!). In that time, I've tried about a dozen different types of night guards, ranging from the cheapest OTC ones to the $500 laser-fitted prescription guards. None of them have worked -- I either grind right through the material or I still clench so hard that I wake up with jaw pain and a headache.Who would've thought that an inexpensive sports mouth guard would be my savior. It's really unbelievable how much this has improved my sleep and overall quality of life! The gel-like mold acts like a cushion to absorb the pressure from my clenching, yet it's still firm enough to stop me from grinding. That cushion effect is the real game-changer; if you're a clencher, this is what you've been needing.It's true that it's a little bulky, but I've found that even though my mouth stays open a bit, absolutely no drool comes out. That was always a problem with past guards, so I like that!As a tip, I recommend running the front of it under water right before popping it in at night. It helps to get the front piece to fit comfortably under your top lip. And, of course, you want to rinse It every morning and wash it with a gentle soap once or twice a week.Bottom line: If you're suffering, you have to try this. For this price, it's worth a shot. I hope that you have the same outcome I have had.

These do their job. I was a little surprised at how small they are. I actually thought about returning them. However, if you read the instructions carefully you will note that these and other similar mouthguards are not designed to go all the way back to your last molar. They are supposed to just go to your first molar.The process of making them fit was easy. I microwaved them in some water, then put them in my mouth and bit down. They did shrink just a tiny bit when they hardened, so they push my teeth in a little. You wouldn't notice if you are just using this for sports, but I imagine that if I used this at night it might have an effect on my bite.They are a little bulky, but not more so than competing products. I'm actually not sure why they can't make these slimmer. Must be some constraints I'm not aware of.The taste...it's ok. Very persistent. It continues to smell and taste of a light lemon with hints of some kind of tea after many uses. It's not delicious, but I suppose it's far superior to the taste of wax or rubber or old spit.Overall I'm satisfied with this mouth guard. It's good quality.

I find it a little bulky but not too uncomfortable. I am a little surprised it didn't come with a case. Kind of expected it to at this price.

Was easy to form. Fits perfectly in her kid sized mouth. She takes some good punches and kicks to the face in krag magra/karate, and she hasn’t had any issues yet. I’d highly recommend.

Just this product because I wanted it until I see the dentist in a couple of months to get a mouthguard. Been grinding my teeth and wanted to get a cheap mouthguard until I had some dental work done and then get a custom mouthguard done by the dentist first of all, I went to put it in my mouth. It was so small that it look like it was a child’s mouthguard, yet it said adult on the package, secondly, I tried a couple of times even stretching it out with my hands, and when I could get it in my mouth and it would not stay there it was just fall out. There was no friction to hold it whatsoever. My last chance I had with it I actually put it in a microwave with some water boil the water got it really hot and pliable. I was able to make it larger by doing that Without stretching it too much put it in my mouth and now it was just falling out. It was cool by the time I took it out of my mouth so it was basically useless. I threw it in the trashcan and I got a feeling that’s what most people are going to do with it total garbage I could’ve returned it, but after putting it in my mouth, I decided I wasn’t going to go through all that not for the 13 $14. I paid for it to something else is my best recommendation.

I use this for a mouth guard for sleeping (Yes, I know that is not the intended use, but it works!) I wish they were a little more sturdy. The gel seems to crack with normal wear and tear faster than other brands I’ve used. I’ve gone through several over the last 2 years and will continue to purchase. They do have a great fit and are fairly comfortable. My mouth size is somewhere between a youth and an adult size which makes it a bit awkward for fitting. Overall easy to set, durable, and great flavors.

I was going to return this mouth guard because it is the wrong size and I know that with Amazon's easy return policy it is super easy to return and get your funds back but...all the children on my son's football team use mouth guards and I'm sure someone can use it so I will donate it to our football team. It will go to help protect someone's beautiful smile. Thankyou shock doctor, there are so many ways to get injured on the football field but I know when my son uses his mouth guard that his smile will not suffer.

Fit perfect, easy to hold and comfortable to use. Will purchase again.

I like the fact that there is a hole in the middle to help with breathing and talking. Other mouthguards I had in the past made it hard to breath/swallow/speak but it seems this one has a much better conception. Easy to mold and re-mold if necessary and it stays in place and does a good job to protect your jaw. I've been told Shock doctor provides a dental warranty with all their mouthguards but I couldn't find the details... But if so, it is definitely an added value. The only negative point is that it does feel very bulky in my mouth.

We did use this company before and it was fine but this time our kid chewed through it within a month.

The designers of this mouth guard need to have their engineers heads examined. The size of this mouth guard is supposed to be for kids. It doesn’t fit at all. I tried following their directions 5 times. It’s deformed and doesn’t fit my daughters mouth. A total waste of time and money. Save yourself a lot of headache and avoid this product.

Easy to mold and fits very well.

Es muy buen bucal pero como tiene sabor mi hijo lo muerde todo el tiempo y lo rompe en la mitad del tiempo de uno sin sabor.
