Best bite guard for people with sensitive gag reflex

Best bite guard with excellent customer service. I have a pretty strong gag reflex that makes even going to the dentist for regular cleanings let alone getting a filling done is hell - at this point I have to take a few Xanax pills to survive the procedure. When my dentist told me I needed protection for my nighttime teeth grinding I felt a panic attack coming, not to mention it would have cost me $$$$ to have my dentist do it. So I decided to try the store first, bought a night watchman and made it myself to save money. Terrible decision. It was like having a rubber ball in my mouth and it was excruciating (unless that's something you're into, I don't know). I attempted to go to bed in a state of panic, hoping my gag reflex wouldn't kick in, and if I managed to fall asleep I would wake up horrified that I had that huge, pesky bite killer in my mouth. I was concerned that I would have to spend money on an expensive protection that might still be uncomfortable and unwearable. The guard approached my mouth without me gagging. The guide was very easy and informative, even with tips for people with small mouths or strong gag reflexes like me. ProDental even offers a free thinning service, where you can ship a mouthguard after trying it on your teeth to thin it out and further relieve the gag reflex. This is now my overnight defense and has helped alleviate the toothache I get from intense teeth grinding during the day. Also, with the extra guards, I don't have to worry if I wear mine out as I can easily make a new one. Buy this protection if like me you are a night grinder with a strong gag reflex to save yourself the worry and expense. done was pleasant, it wasn't totally unnoticed, especially when feeling sick with a cold or flu, which ended up triggering my gag reflex more easily. I contacted the company but was surprised that the company contacted me directly, presumably the owner as they were contacted by Don Closson, DDS ProDental. He told me that instead of a thinning service, he would send me a pair of their new, thinner mouthguards for free and with shipping. I accepted his offer and a week later received new protectors which, as he promised, were much thinner, much more comfortable and almost invisible in the mouth. In a month or so I can tell you these are the best night guards to grind if like me you have a strong gag reflex. Sometimes I wake up and completely forget I'm even wearing a visor until I go to brush my teeth and realize I'm still wearing it. Can't recommend them enough. Below is a link to thinner ones which I will definitely be buying when the ones I have wear out. Excellent customer service and great products.
