I've been wearing a nite guard for decades. [Long before any neuro issues for sure] The last one I got tho, wasn't the totally acrylic/hard type I'd always had before tho. I got it almost 2 years ago.
The new type I've gotten is hard 'shell' with a soft-ish part with the teeth imprints.
Within about 6-8 months the soft part got HARD. It was replaced by the manufacturer/fabricator at no cost, but now, the replacement is getting hard as well. Don't know what I'll have to deal with the second time around?
I am begining to wonder if it is ME? or my chemistry or something.... I've followed directions as to the 'care and feeding' of this appliance diligently, but somehow I think I am missing something.
Ironically, for over 2+ years after I had had the onset of my neuro issues, I did not need to wear this thing! But, as I guess, hope, etc., I stabilized and 'improved', the need to wear this has become more essential than ever.
Soooo. any advice is welcome!
It would be great to know that I am either not alone, or imagining things or that this is a defective product/process. Good idea tho.
Truly this is a simple issue compared to most, but it is irksome and can become expensive. Thanks in advance! 's - j
