I wore it for awhile, but it was very hard to keep in, and now it doesn't even fit quite right. They ask me about it at my appointments, but I just tell them I'll never wear it and it was a big waste of money. One of those drugstore ones might be a good idea, though--not as tight and maybe easier to keep in....Mine kind of made me feel like I might die during the night!mama dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827304.post-10314398865050398262009-10-22T20:30:56.091-04:002009-10-22T20:30:56.091-04:00how about the old lacrosse mouthguards we used to ...how about the old lacrosse mouthguards we used to wear? put it in boiling water to soften it up and bite down...perfect fit! they're slim now, they don't have those big nubs coming out the front anymore...<br />you're good, i don't even GO to the dentist...<br />xoxoholly kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833007456996201214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827304.post-11744628883338223172009-10-22T19:24:48.065-04:002009-10-22T19:24:48.065-04:00I heard a thing on the radio about how people are ...I heard a thing on the radio about how people are grinding their teeth more because of the bad economy. E & I both have those expensive night guards but mine doesn't fit so well and makes me anxious to put it in.
