3-Step Self-Help PhilosophyTo protect teeth from clenching and grinding is one thing, but breaking a bad neuromuscular habit to STOPclenching and grinding is entirely another. Our SleepRight dental guard is designed to protect your teeth while you learn to develop a new approach for managing your own health care. AwarenessWe recommend that you begin wearing the SleepRight dental guard 30-60 minutes before sleep. Remindyourself to keep your "lips together and teeth apart" while you are awake and train yourself to not bite down on the bitepads. This will increase your awareness of the daily clenching and grinding you do in your routines. Awareness of "lips together, teeth apart" while awake is necessary for the brain to make the appropriate transition from clenched to relaxed while you are asleep. AccountabilityWe advise that you take the initiative to overcome your grinding and clenching. Our dental guard is designed tore-establish the space that exists naturally between your teeth when you are relaxed, and we recommend that you train yourself not to bite down on the dental guard when it is in place. To check your progress on relaxing your jaw, examine your bitepads for indention's. If there are any left by your teeth, realize that you will have to focus more attention on keeping your "lips together and teeth apart." Behaviour ModificationFor the benefits of the philosophy to work to at its fullest capacity, you should repeat the "lips together, teeth apart" mantra until it is something that comes naturally. While everyone’s learning curve is different, as long as you are training your jaw to relax, you will overcome your grinding and clenching habit. Your ultimate goal should be to eliminate dependency on a night guard as soon as possible.
What Others Are Saying"I have tried all three dental guards. I am very very happy with them. I still don't know which model I prefer. “Your product delivers ‘as advertised’ – my headaches have disappeared and I am much more “Thank you, I really appreciate how your device works and has even stopped my snoring - amazing.” “I got my SleepRight night guard--the small adjustable one--and the neck and shoulder aches (that then turned into headaches later on!) I normally wake up with are gone since the very first night I used your product. Thank you so much!” “I just wanted to e-mail you and thank you for your wonderful product. I ordered a SleepRight dental guard from your company a couple of months ago. I have had a problem with clenching my teeth at night for several years and this is the first dental guard I have ever owned that is actually comfortable to wear during the night. It is so wonderful when you actually find a product that works and your company has come through as promised. I am so pleased with my SleepRight dental guard and I wanted to email you and thank you. So thank you once again for your wonderful product. Since I have been wearing the SleepRight dental guard I have been getting much more restful nights sleep." “Just wanted to let you know I received my night guard and I love it. I have arthritis in my jaw caused from TMJ and have suffered from jaw clenching for many years. The mouth pieces I have had to have made have cost me one thousand up to twenty-five hundred. However costly they might be as a sufferer you don’t have much choice. Anyhow, I am so glad I came across your product as it actually works and I will be recommending it to all the other people I know who suffer from TMJ. The best part of all this is your product does not cost me an arm and a leg. Thanks so much.” “The SleepRight night guard works great! I had to re-order because our dog ate the first one. :)” “I saw your ad in Health magazine. Thank goodness! I have been looking for a dental night guard for my teeth grinding. I can't wait to try your product.” “I saw your ad in Ladies Home Journal and the timing couldn't have been better. I have an appointment with an orthodontist 2 months from now. If your night guard works I won't need it!!! Yeah.” “I had a guard fit by my dentist and paid $500.00 for it and I hated the way it fit, and never wore it. I am willing to give this a try. It looks great!” “I ordered your teeth night guard last week and it arrived yesterday, and my son slept well with it last night, so I am ordering one for me. We have tried the ones that you purchase from the Dentist for $350 and neither of us can stand to wear it. What a waste of money...I have done extensive damage to my teeth and really wish I would have had something like this when I was growing up. Hopefully I can prevent the same thing from happening to my son. Thanks.” “I have ordered your SleepRight dental night guard from a mail-order catalog (Feel Good Catalog) in the past, but they do not carry the smaller version, which I want to try. I love your product! It has helped me tremendously. Thank you!” “Thank goodness! I spent $900 on a rigid splint for my TMJ disorder only to have my teeth grow out of it once I had two wisdom teeth pulled. I was not about to spend another $900, and I almost went and got a sports mouth guard. Thank you for offering a relatively cheap night guard for my aching jaw!” “It is such a relief not to wake up in the morning in pain. I received my SleepRight splint on Friday night and already, by Monday, I have incredible relief from jaw pain and tension. I don't think I realized how much pain I was in until it was gone. And I have had virtually no difficulty adjusting to sleeping with it. It is remarkably comfortable. Thank you for such a great product. You have not only saved me a thousand dollars or so but you have also taken a tremendous amount of pain out of my life.” “After only a couple of weeks of using the SleepRight dental guard I found that the early morning jaw stress which I’ve had for years was relieved – no soreness, pain or headaches.” “I’ve been using your SleepRight night guard for about a month now and I’m amazed at the difference it has made in my facial pain and headaches. I think the design is great!” “The SleepRight has helped in the prevention of grinding my teeth when I am sleeping and with my sleep apnea, as well as reducing TMJ headaches.” “I noticed within one week of using the SleepRight dental guard that I no longer had headaches upon rising and definitely feel that I benefited from the use of your great product! I would not hesitate recommending the SleepRight dental guard to anyone who has a problem with jaw pain and headaches upon rising.” “I have been extremely impressed by the service I have received from Splintek. There is considerable doubt and suspicion when dealing with a company in another country (I am in Australia) but I have had exceptional service and advice from all contacts that I have had with your company. We have also been very happy with the SleepRight dental guard, as it has proved to be very successful. It was causing our 13 year son great embarrassment to be teeth grinding and the only solution we could find was a very expensive specially designed mouth guard (which was to cost nearly $1000Aus). Initially he found it was uncomfortable, but it was far more successful when he wore it for half an hour before going to bed as is recommended in your instructions. Now he is vigilantly wearing it nightly.” “Just wanted to say THANK YOU for a wonderful product. I purchased the SleepRight night guard in the hopes that it would help my snoring problem, and it did! My husband says I now sound like a kitten purrring when I sleep. We were headed for separate beds, but no more! Also, I had no idea I was grinding my teeth at night, but looking at my SleepRight after just two months, I guess I do. I have already recommended this product to many people and will continue to do so. Thank you again!” “I just spent $300.00 for daytime and night time dental devices to keep me from grinding my teeth. I have a bridge in front and the putting on and taking off has loosened that plus, I cannot wear the night one. My jaws actually quiver and I cannot close my mouth. I wish I had seen the SleepRight before I had those made. Are these available in Denver, Colorado? I have a dental appointment on January 27th and I will tell my dentist about this guard. Your design makes better sense to me. Thanks so much.” “After suffering since May of 2003 with clenching which caused awful jaw, gum and facial pain and soreness, I had about given up on relief. It wasn't as though I had not tried to help myself: I tried two types of dental guards my dentist made, both of which made me worse. I also had tried several devices I'd ordered that I'd seen in catalogs and they were a waste of money. So, you can imagine I was skeptical when my husband saw the ad for your product and showed it to me. But I was convinced I had to try a final time, and I'm glad I did. Almost immediately, within a few days, the difference was amazing. Instead of waking up in terrible pain each morning, I was waking up without shooting pains or aching in my face, jaw, and gums. Most nights I only have to wear it about 4-6 hours and then I can remove it and sleep normally the rest of the night; I awaken without pain or with little jaw or facial fatigue, and feel fine or else what is there in way of pain goes away fast after awaking. My facial muscles are not sore all the time. I have an autoimmune disease which affects my ligaments and muscles, so this has been a godsend." “Hello - I just wanted to write you a short note to say I'm so thankful I found your Web site and ordered one of your dental guards. I had been wearing a mouth "appliance" at night for my TMJ problem that was custom made for me by my dentist several years ago. However, last summer when my husband and I were on vacation, it somehow got misplaced and I returned home without it - never to be found again. I was a bit anxious about sleeping without wearing one because I knew the pain I would eventually be in. Before going to the dentist, I decided to look up information about TMJ on the internet and came across your Web site. I ordered the "Low-Profile SleepRight dental guard" and have been wearing it ever since and I love it. At first I was a bit leery about how it could possibly work when it wasn't custom fit for my mouth but, since you have a guarantee and the price was way less then getting one from the TMJ specialist, I decided to take the chance. I was very much surprised about how great it fits my mouth and how comfortable it feels. The best part is that it works to prevent me from having pain and fractured teeth! Thanks so much.” “I just wanted to tell you that I received my dental guard yesterday in the mail, and that I am very pleased with it. Your directions were clear and easy to follow, and the dental guard is very comfortable. I was very dissatisfied with a dental guard purchased at a drug store and had returned it. So I was a little hesitant to try yours, when I friend showed me your ad in Prevention magazine. I am very happy that I did, and for much less money than a fitted dental guard from my dentist. Thank you for a great product.” “I just wanted to thank you for the excellent customer service you and your colleagues provided and I wanted to tell you that I could not be happier with your product! It is working fabulously for me (my other half is really happy as well-he finally gets a good night's sleep). Without sounding too corny-it really has changed my life. I finally get a good night ’s sleep and wake up refreshed without any aches and pain.” “I have suffered from TMJ problems for years. I have worn many different splints during those years, some more affective than others. I have not had a splint as comfortable as the SleepRight Rx or the Low-Profile SleepRight Rx. I wear the SleepRight at night and notice a difference every morning. I have the Low- Profile SleepRight which I wear during the day on occasion. Under high stress, it’s advantageous for me to be able to pop in the SleepRight, if I begin clenching my teeth. The SleepRight helps my muscles relax, and helps me get back to the tasks at hand.” “I keep it, The SleepRight, in my pocket at work, and when I start feeling tense I put the splint in. The tension, stress and headaches I used to get, are gone. I take my SleepRight with me on long trips also. I drive from Kansas City, Missouri to St. Louis, Missouri nearly every weekend, I wear my SleepRight during the trip because it eliminates the migraines I used to get.” “There is an impressive new product named the SleepRight Rx that’s available for the Ortho-Dental market…My son suffers from dreaded Computer Stressjaw TMJ, and after wearing the device three times. He was cured.” “Having had headaches due to TMJ, I was fitted with a hard splint about two years ago. Although the hard splint helped relieve the headaches initially, it did not help long term. In May I was introduced to the SleepRight and started wearing it almost everyday and every night. My headaches have almost completely diminished, and on the rare occasion that I get one, the severity is greatly reduced. I would recommend the SleepRight to anyone!” “I’m a cosmetologist and I’m on my feet for many hours a day. I would come home from work with upper back pain and tense jaw’s , so I tried the SleepRight and it helped me. I use the SleepRight at work and I also grind me teeth at night and woke up everyday with a headache, so I started using the SleepRight and now I don’t go to sleep without it. I get a better nights rest. I feel great in the morning. Thank you.” “I have suffered with TMD for four years now, with little relief, until the SleepRight. I now have the ability to really relax my muscles the way I need to. It made me aware of the clenching. The pain in my jaw, head and neck, and the muscle spasms in my face, are gone. I don’t even have to wear it all the time.” “I wish I had this dental guard 20 years ago! I actually talked to my dentist about putting a "spacer", something that would open my mouth a bit to help relieve my clenching, sort of relax my jaw, and he brushed off the idea…said it would throw my bite off (as if I wasn't already having "bite" problems) etc. Well after the first night I knew this was it! Keeping my mouth slightly open is fixing the problem! I've used the SleepRight 3 nights and am a new person! It is definitely life-changing. The only problem I'm having is that because of 20+ years of clenching and using a regular dental splint, I've developed bony protrusions on my lower jaw, below the molars and they have become irritated by the SleepRight. I went to my old guard the 3rd Dental to give the area a rest and back to my SleepRight last night. I'm hoping over time that area will become less sensitive. (the gums are very sore)..the trade-off for a relaxed jaw and facial muscles is worth it. Many years of treatment...medication, behaviour modification...over! Can't wait to take my SleepRight in and show my dentist! Thanks a million!” “My dentist 2 years ago suggested I wear a mouth piece because I was grinding my teeth away at night and because my teeth were already pointy. I wore the mouth guard for a week or two and even though it was customized to go over my teeth perfectly I started getting a lot of pain in my jaw. I would wake up (after I wore my mouth piece to sleep) and my jaw would click and dislocate. Well, last summer was the last straw because my mouth dislocated so much that when I ate something that morning my jaw was so badly sprained I could barely open my mouth. Many people told me "you need to go to an orthodontist to get a splint." First of all, I don't have health insurance and that would cost thousands of dollars that I do not have. When I found your ad in Women's Day there was something in my head that said "check this out it might help", oh thank god I did. I have had my splint for 2 weeks now, I do get an occasional click in my jaw but nothing like the clicks and dislocation I used to get. I have even in my sleep noticed if my jaw or my teeth are trying to be together instead of far apart. I am just so grateful, and even though at first I thought the price was ridiculous, I would gladly pay it again. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am most appreciative and happy that I don't have a fear of eating food because of my jaw problems.” “After three root canal procedures and five crowns on my molars, I was pretty desperate to find a mouth guard that would work for me. My dentist was not sure that any appliance would work after all the damage that had already been done. You see, I am a lifelong grinder, and, no, I didn't outgrow it. I had envisioned something that would fit between the molars, but all I could find was the sports type that just never fit right. My chiropractor saw your splint in a supply catalog, and after some discussion, ordered one for me. We ordered a standard guard although I have a small mouth. I have used three guards in three years. I love the fact that they stay in place with no effort, you can talk while wearing it, and you can have a drink of water without removing it. The one time I had a problem with the appliance, it was replaced quickly and with no questions. The guard itself convinced my dentist that it was doing the job. After I started using it, the wear on my front teeth stopped. (The molars were pretty much already history.) He started ordering them for other patients. Thanks for supplying them retail now.” “Thank you for the confirmation -- received the Splintek dental guard appliance by Tuesday, May 25! Wow! Efficient service you provide! The appliance is WONDERFUL! Much, much less invasive than the traditional dental guard. I will pass along information on your company to my Kaiser dentist so he can offer it to other patients. Glad I saw your ad in "Prevention" magazine! Thank you again for a wonderful product.” “Wow! I just wanted to say this is great! I have been using mine for almost a week now and I have noticed a significant difference in the way my jaw feels. I noticed a difference after wearing it the first 5 hours! What a wonderful, inexpensive way to get relief from grinding teeth from everyday stress!” “I thought all my options had been tried. I've used everything from a custom dental appliance to football mouthpieces to try to keep from damaging my teeth at night. The week before ordering the SleepRight dental guard I chipped a tooth and my physician's assistant told me that my jaw was getting worse. I decided to check one last time to see what was available. And there you were. The SleepRight is comfortable to wear and does not interfere with my breathing. Great product and great results.” “About seventeen years ago, a dentist I was seeing at the time, first told me that my teeth were starting to show significant signs of wear do to bruxism (grinding). He had a dental guard made for me and encouraged me to use it every night. I did use the guard off and on over the years but not as much as I should have. About three years ago my current dentist told me much of my dental work was breaking down because of my grinding. I told him I was wearing a dental guard most every night. He said my problem was a 24/7 problem. I was very surprised that as I had always thought that I only ground my teeth at night. My dentist told me to be more aware/conscious of my dental activity during the hours I am awake. My son, Geoff, started working for your company a few months ago. He told me about your SleepRight dental guard. He asked me if I would be interested in trying one. I said I would. He sent me one and I’ve been using it since Dec 2003. Before I ever started using your dental guard, I discovered your “Lips Together/Teeth Apart” statement that comes in the guard-shipping package. I know that that statement has helped me become more aware of my daytime dental activity. The statement is now engrained in my mind so when I’m awake it definitely helps me to keep my teeth from grinding together. As for the actual usage of the dental guard I have discovered that using it during times that I am stressed and unable to focus on “Lips Together/Teeth Apart” is one of the best times to use it. Using it during these times has helped me relax and I know when I relax I don’t grind. I thank you for letting me try your product. I am also thankful for the new consciousness you have given me because of your “Lips Together/Teeth Apart” statement. As a result of your product and statement I’ve told other people I know about them and how they have helped me. Thank you again.” "Just wanted to drop a note and let you guys know that the mouth guard is a great product. Before using Splintek, I bought a mouth guard from my dentist for $350. It broke after 2 months and I had to pay again for the replacement. When the replacement broke again, I decided to try Splintek. Not only is your mouthguard easier to use and easier to get used to, it is much less expensive. I’m completely satisfied and have been recommending your product to all my friends/family/co-workers! Need a sales rep?" “Before using the SleepRight, I was having severe headaches for hours. Now I’m getting much needed relief and having fewer headaches.” Kim Cridelich, Oregon, WI “I tried a different product, and as a result of my serious teeth grinding, my jaw began give me a ton of pain, and began to dislocate during the day. Needless to say this other product did not help. Desperate for pain relief, I went back to your website and saw that a new, more durable dental guard was available to purchase, and I did. Since that time I have had absolutely no pain in my jaw, it has realigned, and I have not made one mark in the new plastic material. Even I cannot chew through this one. Just wanted to say thanx, from a very satisfied customer.” “I have been using the dental guard for about a month – what a difference! I no longer bite my tongue, which was getting very sore. Thank you.”

Bitepads are more durable for severe teeth grinders.
Identical to the Slim-Comfort model, except it features stability wings on the upper-sides that help hold the dental guard in place.
Identical to the Secure-Comfort model, except does NOT feature stability wings on the upper-sides.
