SOVA Aero Night Guard - Pre-Formed, Easy-to-Fit Protection for Teeth Grinding, Clenching - Jaw Pain, Bruxism, TMJ Relief - Odor, Taste Free - Remoldable Up to 20 Times - Non Toxic

I can already tell this is going to work for me. I needed the slimmest nightguard I could find because I want to wear it during the day. I clench my teeth constantly as a bad habit that I can’t stop. This is thin enough I can wear it whenever I need to. It’s not uncomfortable like the other one I bought from Walmart. I actually like it more than my professional night guard because it’s thinner. I’m sure I’ll wear through this and have to buy another but it’s worth it to stop messing up my teeth. I had no issues forming it by following the instructions. The temp was probably more like 180 and I waited till it turned clear. It wasn’t overly hot when I placed it. I had to hold som off the molar area onto my teeth till it molded.

I had high hopes for this product. Nice concept, good pricepoint. Apparently, you need to get the shape PERFECT on the 1st or 2nd try of the heating process, otherwise a disaster ensues. "Remolding up to 20 times" is false marketing. This thing stretches and loses its chemistry after the first one or two tries. Is there a temperature that ruins it, somewhere close to boiling? If so, is Sova willing to share what that temperature is? On my 1st attempt I followed the instructions to a T, heated the water to the prescribed temperature -- even digitally measured it with a thermometer -- then, when I removed the mouth guard from my teeth, a portion of the back had stuck to itself. I place it back into the water but failed to get the back piece unstuck with a knife. So I decided to live with the imperfection and attempted to get the shape "good enough" for use. On my 2nd attempt, I noticed the little round holes had started to stretch after removing it from the water. The shape came out wrong again. I inserted back into the water. By this point the mouth guard had visibly stretched and no longer would revert to its normal shape/chemistry no matter what the water temperature. The round holes had become permanent lines. It was unusable. On the 5th try or so, I eventually cut the grossly stretched back portions with scissors, heated all of it in the water, and stuck the cut pieces to the top of the guard to try to rebuild its shape & ply. Eventually, it felt like I was working like play dough. Hours later, having swallowed plenty of plastic fragments that hopefully won't kill me, I eventually gave up. I now have an unsightly, blob of a nightguard that fits my teeth, but cuts my gums due to the irregularities and sharp edges.

I've read the reviews and decided to take a chance and I'm glad I did. This really is the best mouth guard. Thinner is better because thinner means more comfort. I've tried a professional dentist $600 guard and other store bought ones. They are all too bulky and uncomfortable. They force your mouth open and you'll wake up in a puddle of drool if you get any sleep at all. This guard only took a short while to get used to and I fell asleep right away. It's true that getting it fit is a little tricky but I think most people didn't follow the directions. Water should be between 160 and 170F. That's not boiling, so please don't toss it into a pot of boiling water. Get a thermometer and measure then transfer the water into a shallow bowl and put the guard inside. If you overcook it, it will be too floppy and harder to use. The guard will go from white to clear then it's ready to fit. It's hard to make perfect, but it doesn't have to be. It just needs to be comfortable, so don't look at it too closely. As long as your molars aren't in contact and it's comfortable, call it good. It's not super expensive so please try it out. You'll be glad you did.

Easy to mold, it’s nice and thin and reminds me of the hard guard I had custom made at the dentist before my dog ate it. My only issue with this guard is it fits very tightly. Once I wear it for a while it seems to soften up, but I live in New England and it’s chilly out. When the guard is out of my mouth (in the cold) it seems to shrink a skosh. It’s so tight it’s uncomfortable to wear for the first couple of minutes. Haven’t found a solution yet- but for the price point I’d still recommend the guard as a nice slim guard.

I like the idea behind Sova Aero, but didn’t find it to be the best pick for me. Likes: Thin fit, remoldable, ability to drink while wearing, feels sturdy. Dislikes: Had trouble fitting—the process is simple, but because it is so thin, it’s more difficult to keep stable while manipulating into place and waiting for it to set. I had to redo the process multiple times because it would end up too high at the gum line for comfort on one side or there would be bubble-like protrusions at the upper edges due to compression from folding. This was particularly uncomfortable as a side sleeper given the stiffness of the guard. Tips: You can cut short the setting process by carefully drinking a glass of ice water after the initial shape is made. I’d also take care to not suction too hard—stated in the product photos but not the instructions, as far as I recall—or fold the guard too tightly against the back of the teeth, if at all. It may be due to alignment issues with my teeth, but the snug fit left my teeth sore after extended wear. I’m returning to the cheap, thick, soft molds LE guards because they “melt” into the spaces around the teeth more easily. Perfect alignment may prevent some of the issues I experienced.

The SOVA Aero Night Guard has been the only night guard that's worked for my night grinding now that I started using braces. I tried 4 different night guards and SOVA's is super thin, easy to mold, and most importantly for someone with braces, you can re-mold it many times! What's so cool about this night guard is the plastic technology and that it starts off flat. Other night guards I tried with my braces couldn't fit around them, were super thick, or could only be molded once. With braces, my teeth move constantly - sometimes daily. The SOVA guard can be fully re-molded with just a few seconds in hot water, or I learned I can just get a small portion of it wet and re-mold parts of it. Another thing is that it is super thin compared with many other night guards, and it grips to fit your teeth so it's not falling off at night. You can breathe with it and swallow fairly naturally, way better than others. One thing to be cautious of: for braces users, don't leave the guard molding the first time you mold it for the full 8-10 minutes it says, I sucked for too long and the guard wrapped around my braces LOL. It literally got stuck to them. Mold it for less time and don't press your lips so tightly, play with the guard so it doesn't mold around or into the braces. Other than that, you'll be golden. I highly recommend this night guard for any adult with braces!! It has stopped my jaw pain, what a massive relief, and all for an affordable price!

Did not like how hard it was, which made it uncomfortable to wear. It also doesn't come with a case. Not worth $20 in my opinion.

Great product, works really well if you clench your jaw or grind your teeth in your sleep. No more waking up with a headache. Can reshape it several times if needed, like after dental work. It's worth taking a little time to get a good fit, you will sleep so much better and not wake up with a headache or still tired. I've tried several different brands of guards and this is truly the best one yet. I'm done looking for any other brands, this one's a keeper.
