Before I fully understood bruxism, I viewed night guards as an unnecessary expense. I had never actually seen anyone grind or clench their teeth while sleeping and none of my family or friends said they had a problem until I asked them. It also didn’t make sense why it cost $600 for a mouth guard from a dentist when they can be purchased at a sporting goods store for far less money. John convinced me otherwise.

I have been grinding my teeth at night for years. I went to three different dentists and paid cash for three different mouth guards, in addition to several aftermarket styles. Each one helped a little bit, but I had problems with every one and they didn't help in the long run. After spending almost $2000 and still not having something I was satisfied with, I decided to design my own based on my favorite features.

The Evolution of Brux Night Guard
2014
After several long conversations between the two partners, and over a year of researching Bruxism, we decided to take the best of what we found and create a completely new mouth guard for teeth grinding.
We began by talking to several dentists and dental technicians about Bruxism and the best ways to treat it.
2015
Next, we interviewed friends and family members who have teeth grinding problems. Many of them regularly use mouth guards purchased from a dentist. We found that they all paid approximately $600 for their mouth guards. We also found that most of them thought they found some relief but the mouth guards were too hard or too big, and not as comfortable as they might be if they were designed differently.
2016
John served as the corporate guinea pig for testing designs because he had already tried several different models. He knew what worked best and what didn't.
After quite a bit of research and design testing, we knew that we had found the best combination of features and design elements to provide a teeth grinding mouth guard that rivals all the others, even the ones created at the dental office. And at a fraction of the cost.
2017
After tweaking the design, we found a manufacturer in the United States who provided more insight into the materials and manufacturing process. The president of the company personally guided us through the process and offered some design advice we hadn't thought about initially. And we began manufacturing Brux!
The road from initial idea to functioning product took several years but we feel we have created the best mouth guard on the market for people that suffer from teeth grinding and clenching. We went back to the same people that gave us their thoughts in the beginning and they agree it is a better design than anything they have used in the past.
But don't take our word for it. Every person is different, with unique teeth patterns and reasons for grinding. We ask that you give it a try and see for yourself.
If you've never worn a teeth grinding mouth guard before, but suffer from Bruxism, the Brux Night Guard can save you more than $500 off the price of a mouth guard created by your dentist.
If you're already a dental mouth guard user and are looking for something that might be more effective than what you currently have, $59.99 is a small price to pay for relief from Bruxism.
We are always looking for ways to make our product better and welcome your feedback. Let us know what you like, what you don't, and other products you'd like to see in the future.
From all of us at Brux Night Guard, Thanks for stopping by and helping us to make the best teeth grinding mouth guard on the market.
Changed my life! My jaw was in so much pain it was limiting everything I used to enjoy. After using this for ONE night I saw a difference. So happy I heard this ad in my car on the radio!!!
