Kloud Night Guard for Clenching and Grinding, Custom Fit, 2-Pack, Mint

I found myself in the market for a self molded guard and had tried two other brands, both had good ratings and reviews before I tried this one. The first brand molded with hot water and I had to use two before I got it right. It really was thin and hands down had the best grip and fit of any of them. The problem was that after a week or so I noticed I had pain in teeth that weren’t normally being affected. The molding was very hard and didn’t offer any sort of cushioning but rather just a barrier from tooth to tooth grinding. On to brand No.2- this guard also molded in a hot water bath and came with 4 to a pack and was by far the most economical. I immediately messed up the first one..even while being careful with it the guard folded into itself and would not release. 2nd attempt went better and I got a successful molding. This guard was very soft and offered great support, but it was very thick on the front of my teeth so my mouth felt like it was continuously being opened. I tried a third time and managed to get the front pressed fairly flat which helped the original problem. But then I had a problem with the rear molars pressing tightly and causing clenching. I tried the fourth one and after another week gave up, the material was just too thick. The Kloud came the next week, come in a two pack and doesn’t use a water bath, instead it uses a small bit of rolled up paper towel that you wet and wedge into the groove where your teeth would rest, which you then pop into a 1100-1200w microwave for around 40sec. Pull it out remove the paper towel and fit into your mouth just as you do the other guards. I followed the instructions and on the first try got a decent fit! That night I felt like the rear was still just a tad too thick because I hadn’t really pressed my molars into it so, no problem, this thing can be reheated and molded several times. Whereas guard no 1 was way to hard, guard 2 was soft but too thick, this Kloud guard is just right!! It is easy to form, fits snug and remains soft and thick enough to provide a cushion but not so thick it messes with your natural jaw/lip alignment! My search is over! This is the Goldilocks ‘just right for me’ guard!

This was a complete waste of money. The molding process is awkward and frustrating, the material tastes bad, and the fit is terrible. It fell out multiple times while I was sleeping. I went back to the Dentek mouth guard and it's not even close. Don't waste your money on this-Dentek is like a Rolls-Royce compared to this Yugo.

First, I did not get paid to write this review. I know through my own experience, that it’s difficult to find an over the counter bite guard that feels close to a custom fit, is comfortable and is effective. I have tried soft bite guards and go through those way too quickly. I have tried bite guards that are harder and closer to what feels custom, and though they lasted longer than the softer ones, my teeth hurt from grinding against them. The Kloud is somewhere in between. It’s firm, but soft enough to be very comfortable for me and not too brittle. Several weeks in, and I see no visible wear, and it’s comfortable for my mouth. I truly believe it’s an affordable and viable solution for those who can’t fork out the bucks for a custom fit device. I’m one of them. The only thing I would say is that you absolutely MUST follow the fitting instructions. Any deviation and you’ll likely waste one of the two you receive when you order. You must know your microwave temperature and monitor heating closely, and you should act quickly to fit so you optimize a custom feel fit. This one works for me, but everyone has a slightly different experience depending on their individual need. I hope it works as well for you as it has for me. Good luck!

I have a long history of clenching and grinding and used a night guard as a teen, but I was given harder ones that sometimes made my jaw pain worse and eventually gave up on them. I recently had some fillings done on my front teeth to repair chipping and cracking damage from grinding, so I really wanted to prevent more damage from happening but can't afford a custom device from my dentist right now. At the advice of other reviews, I got Kloud and followed the instructions very, very carefully, and I'm really happy with the results. The only thing I would say is that I have a very deep bite with considerable erosion of my teeth from grinding over time - as I suspect a lot of us grinders do - and when I bit and pushed as hard as I could as the directions said to, I found that in a couple of spots where the bite is deepest, it almost went through the plastic. When I do the other one, I not bite/push quite so hard after getting the mold into place and just keep the focus on sucking to get a good mold while biting/pushing just a moderate amount. With that being said, even with the mold being thin in places, the guard is quite good, protects my teeth well, is very comfortable for a night guard (and did not disrupt my ability to fall or stay asleep), and does just what I hoped it would. I was also looking for something with just enough to give to keep my jaw from aching, and this is just soft enough/flexible enough to do the trick, while still being firm enough to give good protection. Would definitely recommend to fellow grinders - cannot imagine finding anything else this good at this price point!

Molded both right away; one was on, other not so much. It's fine to sleep with but doesn't stay on teeth. Teeth feel uncomfortably gross after wearing so might try one that doesn't cover teeth.

The material is softer than clear plastic mouth guards. It was a little harder to form than the clear plastic ones too. You wrap in damp paper towel and heat in the microwave so I can see that being a plus if you are traveling and don’t have access to boiling water. Case will hold both blanks if needed. Pretty comfortable.

This mouth guard is so uncomfortable and too thick. I can’t wear it for more than 5 minutes, it is a waste of money. Definitely does not match the description. It was relatively easy to mold but is just too think and very uncomfortable.

I tried a few other mouth guards before this one. One was too short and actually caused more back tooth pain from the uneven coverage from front to back. Another, just too tight and hard. When I first got this one, I was wondering if I should trim along the top where the guard goes over my gums, but I chose not to and try it first without a trim. ( I think others reviewing had gum irritation after trimming - I’d advise not doing that. This guard is comfortable even with more gum coverage. Also, my mouth pain is gone after regular use of this product and after being told I grind my teeth a lot while sleeping. Worth a try…

The mouth gaurd is easy to fit and mold to your mouth. The instructions are clear, and if followed, provide a perfect custom fit of this product! Totally as advertised, a fraction of a night gaurds cost as purchased through the dentist and works!!
