The 150 bucks I paid for my night guard (this was sans insurance...remember I had once again broken my caps, this time after losing my job. With insurance it would have cost a lot more but would have cost me about the same...go figure. But I digress.)
It goes on my bottom teeth. I feel weird sleeping without it now. I was reading and napped for a bit and as I was falling asleep I felt my teeth start doing their dance. The night guard keeps my jaw aligned and prevents my bottom teeth from pushing into my top teeth, as well as keeping the space between my back teeth so I'm not ruining those too. Since it was made for me, the appliance also acts as a sort of retainer for my bottom teeth, keeping them from starting to overlap as I get older.
It's very durable. It's so much better than the ones I was buying at the pharmacy...in fact those probably didn't do my mouth any favors.
Highly recommended. Tooth repair will cost you much more in the long run, unless you're fine with running around with effed up teeth, which I was not.
