Hi guys. A few years ago I was fitted with a mouth guard by my dentist as I grind my teeth in my sleep and was a 5 out of 8 on the STOP BANG questionnaire. I don’t snore or stop breathing but make an audible “click” with my tongue when I don’t wear it. Are there any OTC mouth guards you recommend? I find myself not consistently wearing the one from my dentist as it’s a bit uncomfortable. It’s also quite expensive.
I will say my STOP BANG score is now a 2/8 after making some lifestyle changes.
I don’t have any experience with OTC mouthguards to provide a specific recommendation, sorry.
Don’t know much about OTC mouth guards, but there are a number of oral appliances that can be fit for you if you see a sleep medicine physician and discuss the issues with your current one. Insurance should cover this, though I can appreciate this isn’t exactly hassle free either.
Thanks Jordan and Austin. I’ll look into that as the one from my dentist was out of pocket.
