Started 2 years ago with an OTC boil and bute, sleep quality is night and day (no pun intended),l.
In fact it annoys me greatly if for whatever reason I don't sleep with it because I know I'll be yawning, nodding off, and generally low energy all day.
Highly recommend it at least as a low cost experiment (mine was $70), no issues so far with bite or jaw soreness.
Boil=and-bite only provides cushion between teeth. Sleep apnea mouth guards are designed to thrust the jaw forward, so as to mechanically assist in keeping the airway open. They're so very different in effect and structure that if you feel you're benefiting from a boil-and-bite, you've almost certainly mis-attributed something somewhere.
Not necessarily. Boil & bite mouthguards can help you keep your mouth closed while you sleep, which might be enough to fix your breathing in some cases.
It covers bruxism, of course, because it literally goes over your teeth, but it's bulkier and has a lower jaw adjustment since it's designed more around your jaw and airway than just your teeth
Mine is from VitalSleep.com (promise I'm not astroturfing, you can find 50 similar products)
