[quote=Anonymous]I’m also a serial clencher. I used to have really tiny NTI guards that only covered my 4 middle teeth on the bottom. That kind of guard worked well for 16 years, but when I replaced them with a new guard in 2019, the new guard was looser and would accidentally pop off sometimes. I went to bed with the guard in my mouth one night in 2020, and when I awoke in the morning, it wasn’t in my mouth anymore. I looked everywhere. It never turned up. Because of the pandemic, I put off replacing it for a while.

I replaced it in late 2020. The replacement also didn’t fit super tightly, so the exact same thing happened in 2021: I went to bed with the guard in my mouth and awoke with no guard. Searched high and low. Tore my bed apart, moved my bed, moved all the furniture near my bed. This one never turned up either. My dentist insists I must have removed them and my dog ate them. I’m not sure. I think it’s entirely possible that I swallowed them. Because I was pissed about needing ANOTHER replacement, I didn’t get it right away. HUGE mistake. I used to have beautiful, perfectly aligned teeth, thanks to braces, but my lower teeth shifted when I went without any night guard or retainer for a while, and now a couple are crooked. I should have gotten Invisalign at the point, but I foolishly asked my dentist for another night guard and he never suggested Invisalign. I paid around $650 for the kind of night guard you’re probably talking about. They used the same wand to make 3D images of my mouth. This newest guard fits well and protects me from clenching, but it’s not going to correct the alignment. [/quote]
