Do you clench your teeth at night? Are you a nighttime teeth grinder? I am and it has cost me thousands of dollars in dental repair.
But now I wear a nightguard to protect my teeth.
I’ve purchased night-time mouth guards 2 different times from my dentists. The first one cost well over $300. The second one, several years later cost about $240. Both eventually either broke or became unusable due to changes in my teeth.
Since that time I started buying cheap athletic, boil and bite mouth guards and customizing them to my mouth.
I normally shop at Walmart and buy a Wilson Boil and Bite Guard. They cost about $1.

The whole process of making a custom fitting nighttime mouth guard takes about 30 minutes. And the guard will last you for a couple of years.
Watch how I do it and you can do it too.
